The third trilogy of the OG MCU squad delivers in action, comedy, and storyHmm, where do I start? The Thor Franchise (And "The Incredible Hulk", to be fair) has been rather forgettable and OK at best. "Ragnarok" definitely changed that. The third trilogy of the OG MCU squad delivers in action, comedy, and story line. Not only is this one of the funniest MCU installments, but also one of the best. The cast is excellent. Seems like Marvel is getting every A & B list actors possible. This time, they brought in the likes of Cate Blanchett, Tessa Thompson, Karl Urban, and Jeff Goldblum (!) to join the already crowded cast (Hemsworth, Hiddleston, Elba, and Sir A. Hopkins, plus Ruffalo). They all shine in their respective roles. The character Valkyrie makes fans demand her own movie, for good reasons.

Not all the humors work, but when it does, it's really funny. And unlike most MCU movies, Ragnarok is quite colorful (Just like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2). The ending surely makes us extremely hyped for the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War movie. Oh, and there are some surprising (And hilarious) cameos too. Don't miss this movie, go watch it!

Thor's newfound Humour and the Humour that is displayed generally throughout the film will make and have made everyone who watches laugh and enjoy the film. From world to world as the plot thickens, this film will entertain all who watch.

Because Thor: Ragnorok is arguably one of the most fun MCU movies that you will ever enjoy than GOTG2 and the other Thor movies! If you are wondering why I said that, it’s because the smooth direction, clever humor, rockstar performances, and the dazzling visual effects of this movie is just upbeat to look at. As you watch this movie, you may encounter a minor issue that involves repetition, but overall, it still sounds good. Thor: Ragnorok is perhaps one of the best sequels that has more depth and humor than its predecessors. To be honest, as a diehard DC fanatic, I am excited what will Marvel Studios do to Infinity War in 2018. Expand

I hated Gardians 1 and 2 because it tried way to damn hard to be funny. This movie did the same but not as bad. It was a good movie but had so many problems. Like how is he getting knocked out by tasers when he has lightning coming out of his body. Why is Valkyrie bi-racial. I kinda picture that woman who plays Ragnar's wife from Vikings as the perfect cast but no everything as to be multicultural now. Isn't that just as bad as white washing or cultural appropriation? It didn't bother me that much but she has the cliche snobby tough girl attitude and she just wasn't likable at all. Kate Blanchette was great but tried to be too seductive all the time, always cocking her head to the side trying to look cute. I don't know thought, I should get a more Norse - Viking feel from Asgardians, not this forced multicultural cast. To be fair, I'm not a hypocrite. I won't watch Gods of Egypt because they got a Scottish and Danish guy as the two stars. Also Call of Duty lets you be a black female nazi soldier in multiplayer. This is getting out of hand. Expand

I've always thought that Marvel has dropped the ball with Thor and his lore. He is probably one of the greatest characters that Marvel has ever created, in terms of personality, the lore surrounding him, etc. Asgard and the nine realms is an incredible pool of possibility, but what does Marvel do? They squander it.

None of the Thor movies have ever been spectacular. The first Thor movie was, in my opinion, the best because it explored Thor as a character, who went from overly cocky to becoming a humble protagonist. I loved this part of his development. It really made for a compelling character who one would want to believe in. I won't talk about the second movie because it really didn't do anything for the character, but as for Thor: Ragnarok...

Marvel decided to go in an entirely new direction with Thor this time around, giving him a comedic, **** attitude. Wow, does that really suck. With this joke-a-minute format, all of the emotion is stripped from this movie. Scenes that should be extremely, EXTREMELY emotional are destroyed because the build-up to them was all laughs. The relationships between the characters is not founded at all. The villain, who many are praising, is not developed as a villain should be. I could write a four page essay, but those are my brief thoughts.

"Thor: Ragnarok" was a very good movie, although the jokes were very out of place, the story and the characters were very good, maybe not a good movie for the MCU, but a very good movie for the trilogy of Thor.

It does not do anything that bad but it does not do anything that great either. Considering the stakes in this movie you would think it would not resemble what amounts to kiddie comedy for its humor. We have slapstick humor, sight gags and the only thing missing was fart jokes. I do not want to say it was bad because it isn't bad. It just is not that great. On to Black Panther. Expand

I can safely say the trailer undersold the movie, and I nearly didn't see it in the end. The only reason I went to see yet another Thor movie was because of director Taika Waititi, and I'm so glad I did. Doesn’t suffer with an over stuffed cast fighting for screen time leaving room for actual character development. There’s just enough main characters and they have such fun with the roles. Perfectly paced with a simple yet well executed plot. Although not all the jokes land it's funny even if it's unbearably cheesy at times. Thor Ragnarok is without a doubt the best Thor movie and one of Marvels finest. Bizarre and superbly entertaining.

Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo are doing their thing better than ever. The two strongest Avengers come head to head and it's everything you'd expect and more. Cate Blanchett struts into every scene in a swirling cloud of evil green mist reminiscent of a stereotypical Disney villain I was almost expecting her to break into song. Spoiler alert, she doesn’t although that wouldn’t be the strangest thing to happen in Thor Ragnarok. Weird doesn’t even cover it. It took me about half way through to really start enjoying Thor but once I did I could appreciate it. Pure fun. Marvel loses itself when it gets all dark and dreary taking itself way too seriously but this is peak Marvel. Full of life and immensely entertaining and if there was ever a better use of Led Zeppelins Immigrant Song in a movie I’ve yet to see it. Easily beats the first two Thors combined, recommended to all the Superhero fans.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Marvel clearly found their winning formula: 2 hour music videos with jokes every 30 seconds.
This could mean good and bad things. The good thing is that people are loving this movie, so it'll make a lot of money. The bad thing is, they're just making every movie the same, and people are ok with it.
The worst is that this movie had the potential to be a beautiful moving movie. But they just turned it into a snl musical sketch.
For what it's worth, not all jokes are bad. The fight scene with Hulk had actual reasons to have funny bits. But the fact that after that Hulk just turns into a buffon just ruins it.
Valkyrie was a cool character. It's satisfying and interesting to know why she acts the way she does. Hela was also well developed. And pretty dope.
The scene that stands out for me was when Hulk starts transforming into Banner. It was a very interesting sequence and I'm glad they acknowledge Black Widow.
Korg, oh my god, his humor is barely humor. It's cheap and just not funny.
But I have to be honest, despite me not liking the movie, I can't deny that people are loving it for a reason. It's just a piece of cheap (but expensive) entertainment. That's what people love to consume, and that's why this movie will succeed.

This film plays out like the standard Thor film but adds its own MST3K-style commentary of itself as it goes, mixed in with goofy Looney Tunes-esque humor. When the film is sticking to the script or trying to be goofy, it gets some laughs and feels fun. The improv is pretty weak, though, and unfortunately, there's far more of it.

There's not much more to the story other than weak improv. None of the dramatic moments land--not unhelped by the improv undercutting all the tension--and the movie loves to focus on the unfunny, boring drama far too much for its own good. Perhaps to supplement how little actually happens in the film. It's more or less a bunch of conversations in one of a very limited set of locales, peppered with a few short action scenes.

So, we have a story with no tension and little story that plays out like the standard Thor story but undercuts itself by shoving in bad improv wherever it can, but with some decent action and scripted humor that will have you giggling at least once every five minutes or so. I never felt bored, but I did feel like the movie was constantly reaching to keep me interested and was floundering so much that I felt bad for it. The strongest parts are the clever ending and the relationship with Loki/Thor finally feeling like it's progressing on some level, which elevate the movie, but only just enough to be passable, and not to excel.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The best of all three Thor movies (which isn't much).

To cut the review short, if you're a fan of the comics then don't bother, but if you aren't into the comics then it might be enjoyable.

Pros
-Cate Blanchett is great as Hela
-Loki is also surpisingly endearing
-The Hulk
-Good fight scenes
-The comedy has it's mmoments
-Clumsy Thor is quite likable -Thor vs Surtur was great
-Heimdall is badass
-Subtle nods to the comics

Cons
-The drama is overshadowed by the comedy and comes out as forced due to the lack of build up
-No suspense
-Inconclusive fights
-Korg and Miek was turned into gags
-No Caeira or Hiroim (which means no Skaar or World War Hulk)
-Planet Hulk was butchered to fit into Ragnarok's(The movie) comedy
-No Hulk unbreaking scene
-Valkyrie does wierd head bobbing
-Tessa Thompson doesn't look good as Valkyrie
-Skurge
-Very lackuster story (especially when compared to the source material)
-Comedy is crammed into every inch of the movie, even during dramatic scenes.
-Sakaar isn't the desert badlands it's supposed to be.
-Too sci-fi for both the source arcs (Thor 80-85 and the Planet Hulk arc)
-The comedy, while quite funny, is of the lowbrow kind

If you're wondering why I gave it a 2, it's because I'm rating it based on how much I enjoyed it.

There are some things that could have been better like any other movie but all in all it was a very enjoyable movie. The actors played their characters very well, there are moments in the movie that the brother relationship felt real. The fight scenes were better than good. Music was great. The CGI was done very well. I'm not actually sure where the argument that the CGI is horrible, I've worked with CGI before, that wasn't horrible. The timing of the jokes could have been improved, very few times it was actually forced. There were some scenes that should have been a bit more impactful. The negative reviews on this movie mostly come from hardcore fans of Thor from comics(I'm not a big Thor fan from the comics or from the other two stand-alone films). The other people who hate this movie seem to think that movies like these("RAGNAROK") that need to be so serious for great storytelling. My advice to those people is look at the DC films, they take themselves seriously, they get okay storytelling, they bore people that are not comic book fans a lot of the times, not fun. They bomb the majority of the times in reviews and if it weren't for their name recognition they would bomb in box offices too. Expand

The comedy is on point, the chemistry between the rather big cast works, and the fan service is well executed. The third act is always somewhat of a problem in the MCU, as it usually centers around a shallow villain who turns out to have really shallow and frankly boring motives. Thor: Ragnarok solves this by putting the focus on the relationship between our heroes and their internal conflicts, creating a much more satisfying ending to the Thor trilogy. I can't wait to see more. Expand

If you will be hurt that they don't treat comic books like Shakespeare or religious canon then you may want to skip it and just re-read your comics. Also seems like quite a bit of racists here upset a non-Aryan was cast. Not sure what they think of Idris but they seem to really dislike the female. I thought she was fine. Expand

This film is a blast from start to finish and never offers up a dull moment. The dialogue (which was heavily improvised) is the best in the Thor trilogy and one of the funniest in the MCU. There are no weak links in the cast as everyone brought their A game. Kate Blanchett is a very good Marvel but still not amazing. It has nothing to do with Kate Blanchett, but rather that the character never really does anything besides killing soldiers. With that said, the Kate Blanchett makes her a memorable Marvel villain. The score is fantastic and often fits perfectly with the action beats. Speaking of action, the choreography is well done and very different from the past Thor films. Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, and Mark Ruffalo are perfect in their roles, as expected. If you love Marvel films this is a much watch. Expand

It is a very colorful and humorous Marvel film, I recommend every ex-Thor fans to come back and watch this.

The action scenes are perfect, as well as the addition of the Immigrant song in the first and final battles, just like Guardians of the Galaxy.

Chris Hemsworth would do anything to be as funny as Loki. Tom Hiddleston hasn't changed much and we still like him. And Cate Blanchett is the worst, or the baddest villain ever played for the MCU, awesome :) But Mark Ruffalo is still too underrated, probably more underrated than Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye (from Avengers).

To be honest, when the movie came out, the scenes from the trailer almost looked the same and it's like the final movie didn't make any changes.

A fun film, and very entertaining, despite what you might expect from a movie bearing the title "Ragnarok."
It's almost like two separate films tacked together, and while one part - which focuses on Thor finding new partners - is really well done, the actual Ragnarok plotline isn't.
In similar way, the movie is focused on the comedic side, so whenever there is a serious moment (and there are many in the film, that deserved to be serious,) it undercuts itself with a joke.
It also builds towards a final confrontation, which I found disappointing and unfulfilling.

So, to repeat, Thor:Ragnarok is a fun film, an entertaining film; but if you care anything at all for its mythology or story-line, you might be disappointed.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A lot of sweat and tears went into this. And I always appreciate the hard work crews put into these productions. Effects awesome (ie: Thor/Hulk fight) - although used to hide mediocre story development. Character building weak on all fronts (yes, even a comic book movie needs credible arcs - hasn't GOT proved this?). Acting good (for what they had to deal with in direction) Not pleased with where Marvel/Disney taking the franchise. They get $$ hits with being humor focused (Ant Man; Deadpool; Spiderman; Guardians - 1) and now I'm getting the vibe they're going to keep milking this direction with characters that are not humor based. Don't get me wrong, humor good, making my heroes into sitcom joke beaters is not. But I'm old school Marvel (FOOM!). I like great writing; great characters; inspiring story - even in my comic books. This Thor is now ruler of Asgaard - now that's a joke. Oh and one more thing - I realize arena fighting plots are fairly the norm these days - but can't help like it feels ripped from a Lee/Kirby/FF storyline that was written for the Thing. Expand

Why should I care if the characters are just making gags all over the place? Ragnarok was a complete change in tone for the Thor franchise that I could not get behind. The first two weren't Oscar worthy, but at least something actually felt important in them.

Besides that, continuity of characterization from other installments in the franchise went out the window. Since when does Thor use Earth colloquialisms? When did Hulk start talking in complete sentences and have feelings besides rage? And I want to know: Why does nobody on Asgard remember Hela if the Valkyrie warrior who fought her looks a decade younger than Thor (I know they're godly and all, but they have to age at some point, look at Anthony Hopkins)?

As a final issue I've not been a fan of in the recent MCU installments, why must they unnecessarily plug they're other characters? Why have drawn out scenes that serve no real purpose except to try and entice you to watch every one of their films?

I definitely enjoyedSeems like Marvel/the higher ups sacrificed what could've been a decent storyline and immersive universe into a really bad comedy, almost slapstick at times where people falling off a ledge is classed as quality humour. I definitely enjoyed the first 2 Thor films and didn't get why they sacrificed both the genuinely funny idea of the god of thunder landing on planet Earth and having completely different customs to humans as well as decent elements of romance/relationship. In this 3rd edition, characters who I really liked before such as Loki cheapen their appeal; where Loki used to be the sly but rootable brother of Thor now he's given in to crappy one liners. Most disappointing was the female villain, who is so cliched (such as a **** disney villain) that it made me and my girlfriend walk out the cinema. Why, just why make her script and general persona so off-putting?? I've only give this film a 3 because the design and look of the worlds is amazing, thanks to the advances made in 3D animation in the last decade, the junk world, the arena and the CGI characters like the annoying south african rock all look incredible, just a shame that they have no real substance beyond that.

I hope Marvel goes back to its former glory days and makes more films like the original Spiderman 1 and 2, the X-Men series and so on...

Darkest Thor story turned into a comedy because Marvel Studios is a joke factory with fans who honestly believe humor is the epitome of cinema

A struggle to sit through and I nearly walked out several times.

Seeing the GOD OF THUNDER taken down by a shock collar was so stupid, and it was a joke the hack of a director kept doing again and again and again.

You can't even use the "Well his hammer got broken" defense for how stupid the shock collar gag was because it's revealed in the third act the power is within him, so he should be immune to it.

It'd be like Johnny Storm getting taken out by burning his hand on a hot skillet while cooking. It makes no sense and is just stupid.

Hulk is a joke. Thor is a joke. The movie is a joke.

Critics giving it anything higher than a zero just shows how biased and untrustworthy they are and how pathetically low the bar is set for Marvel Studios to meet the "Gold Standard" mark from critics.

The movie sucks.Even though that movie was a blockbuster, I was bored by the story.I think all the impressive parts are in the trailer, don’t waste your time and money to go to the cinema. I’m tired of the non-stop Marvel style joke...

Suicide Squad in jokes was better, and not even the humorous moments of the movie are so particularly nice to understand, but compare them with the worst jokes of Krusty the Clown, misuse of anti-humor by some characters at undue moments,Suicide Squad in jokes was better, and not even the humorous moments of the movie are so particularly nice to understand, but compare them with the worst jokes of Krusty the Clown, misuse of anti-humor by some characters at undue moments, Hulk was portrayed as a Bobo character, and Valkyrie was very badly stopped among the heroines of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he did not connect as he should have been, in the comic it is another of Thor's love interests, but at least a wink wink should have made that. On the other hand, the character of Jeff Goldbum (Grand Master) is not at all like the comic book even if he wanted to be original, it seems to come from a casino owner in Las Vegas and did not seem to represent the biggest thing as a film any such I did not notice it, but he missed references to his brother. The planet they were on, looked more like a planet from the 1986 animated film The Transformers, Junkion, and not the comic book planet. the truth, very bad treatment and very bad example to the character who dealt with Odin, likewise, is a reflection of the little American culture on the treatment of older adults that shame to turn that into a joke or sofa gaga as in the Simpsons. As if that were not enough, he gets so far away from the homonymous comic of the stories of Thor and much more that scrambled with Planet Hulk, of course it is free adaptation of both stories, but nothing in common really. Or where is the alien son of Hulk? The only good thing is the photograph that exposes the Valkyries that in itself is at least redeemable in terms of the relationship refers to the eschatological myth of the "Rägnärök" of Scandinavian mythology, as seen in flashbacks and in one of the final scenes . But it returns and it moves away, Taikta Wakiti lacked head to be able to listen "The ring of the nibelungos" of Wagner and to read something more of Scandinavian-Germanic Literature to be able to give better treatment him to the film.

None of the Thor movies were really up to the standard but as a huge fan I like them. Combined with other MCU movies which were getting better and better I had big hopes for the last Thor movie. I can't even begin to describe the disappointment. I wanted to leave the theater by the beginning of the second act. Disney effectively destroyed everything Marvel was building all these years!

I was warned by some friends that movie was terrible but still I hoped I would like something. The Story has immense potential but it was ruined beyond belief. The Ragnarok ... the ultimate doom .... and they made a joke of it!?!?!? Sir Anthony Hopkins (Hanibal Lecter) and Cate Blanchett (Galadriel) making fools out of themselves made it even worse. If this movie was made by someone else like the Monthy Python crew it might be fun but like this ...

I would have given it 0/10 if possible. After this movie I will certainly not going to watch Infinty Wars. Even more I will skip The Last Jedy and anything that has Disney label in the future.

This is blatant attempt to attract new fans among younger generations by appealing to their shallowness, selling them cheap tricks and distractions instead of a good story and directing.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. it`s a comedy? and why the name if the "ragnarok" happens in the last five minutes...?
It was a disappointment. Humor is important, but this movie was THOR not the Guardians of the Galaxy.
And to finish. If my best friends and colleagues are killed and my father dies ... I will only do what Thor did, absolutely nothing. Ah! Although the part where Thor's hair is cut, made me laugh a lot.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *** This review may contain spoilers ***

After waiting for Thor: Ragnarok for years. This movie is perhaps, the WORST Marvel movie I have ever seen.

Poor story-telling, weak character development, scenes felt out of place and total 360 from what Thor is supposed to have been.

Hollywood blockbusters have been lowering the complexity of its stories to get more butts into the movie seats which include kids who might not be able to understand a more dark, realistic and complex story. This comes at the expense of adult audience who like to see a characters inits true form.

This movie is basically Logan in reverse. It is a total betrayal of the character's true nature. The following are the movie sins committed in this flick; Warning Spoilers ahead!

1) Bad Story-line.. This story doesn't allow characters to evolve or grow, a lot of the acting seems too familiar or forced for the sake of moving the movie forward or getting a reaction out of you.

2) Everything happens so fast without explanation of events or relationships... a) Why did thor figure out that Loki was impersonating Odin now and not before? b) How was the all-powerful Odin enchanted by Loki? c) Why did Odin decide to let Hela to Invade Asgard and why did he decide to disappear? d) How did Hela break Thor's hammer? e) Why did the leader of Sakaar favorite Hulk over Thor?

2) No setup from previous events and no purpose for characters

a) Thor and Hulk somehow ended up on the same planet by accident b) Why did Dr. Strange need to be in this movie besides setting up for a thor-strange relationship in a future Marvel movie? c) Why didn't Odin hint in previous films that thor had an evil sister named Hela? 3) Bad acting

Even Tom Hiddlesto was off point, he had the usual devious smirk on his face but I sometimes wondered if he was expressing contempt at the directors of the film. Besides being a remarkable film crew with amazing actors, somehow this movie manages to bring out the worst acting of these stars.

Heres a basic breakdown of each character Thor: A more emotional, funny and light-hearted Thor

Loki: The same devious mischief with no new tricks up his sleeve, Loki is so predictable that even Thor has figured him out.

Hela: The sorority club's biggest drama-queen, nothing mysterious or godlike about her. Even she falls into the joke frame.

Heimdall: He had some good scenes and had a nice mystical look to him but wasn't very much useful in the movie.

Grandmaster: This guy is supposed to be a ruler of a planet, instead he belongs on a SNL skit.

Valkyrie: Independent strong woman, alcoholic, with both middle fingers up in your face. Somehow this quickly triggered ghetto character manages to defeat Loki in a battle for the sake of showing how women are strong too?

Skurge: He betrayed Asgard for the whole movie and then tries to make up for it in less then 5 frames before he dies.

Bruce Banner / Hulk: Even hulk manages to turn himself into a comedian.

Doctor Strange: Earth's best sorcerer tools Asgardian gods such as Thor and Loki who should have far greater knowledge of magick then Dr. Strange.

The Executioner: somehow managed to betray Asgard by serving Hela for the entire film, but then sacrifices himself at the end and we're expected to sympathize with this guy?

Korg: This was a loony toons version of Korg

To seal the cherry on the cake, Thor basically lets and assists Asguard to be blown up to pieces, because he figures it will destroy Hela, someone who he wasn't able to defeat even with his new powers.

The disappointment I felt after watching it sure caused a big disconnect for me after I came back home only to read all the positive reviews written by Critics and users alike, which made me question if these Critics are insiders, and if the users are in fact real accounts...

I know everybody's got to make some money... but at what expense?

The total change of the hero and the total change in the atmosphere went very good. We have great hopes for the next Avengers, but after such a Thor, it will be difficult to surprise and fascinate us.

The soundtrack is simply beautiful, always at the right time and strongly adds impressions in certain moments.

Director Taika Vaititi is just an opening, someone will say that he created in the film a too comic atmosphere. But it was worth it, the jokes are just great. There is no man who does not smile looking Thor: Ragnarok. The humor in the film perfectly dilutes the intense and epic moments. You could add more seriousness or battles, but not the fact that the film would have turned out better.

Thor from a little interesting hero thanks to "Ragnorok" will definitely fight for leadership in popularity and charisma. He added power, humor, and most importantly in intelligence. He started to plan his actions perfectly and use all the opportunities that are provided to him.

In addition to him, the intellect was added by the Hulk, but not so much . He is like bully kid now. Funny and interesting moments with him became even more.

The inhabitants of Sakaara are completely different and unusual, far from being patterned, which are very interesting to observe. Asgardians as true wars do not surrender even in the face of death itself and do not kneel before anyone, with a few exceptions.

Hella - A great villain. Her motives are perfectly understandable, the power and charisma are simply enormous. She's as pathetic and confident in words as she is on the battlefield. Demonstrating this throughout the film in epic battles. Very rare quality, which makes it one of the most dangerous threats to the universe.

And of course Loki! I've never been a fan of this character, but it's hard to argue that he improves every film he participates in. In this picture, he introduces such chaos, humor and interest that he is that zest that makes a great film Masterpiece!

To make a masterpiece there must be a star, a puzzle. It is this director for the script and for the cast. Another excellent camera work, editing and soundtrack. Thor: Ragnarok is just that case, all at the highest level.

The best film Marvel! Best movie of the year!

Hilarious, but also with a lot of heart. Through most of the movie, it does funny well, but can still be serious when it needs to. I would give it a ten, but there are a few moments where the humor and drama clash.

Given that one of the best ones, Dr. Doom is tied up with the rights to Fox, I think we will still continue to see this problem until Thanos. That said, I thought this Villain did a good job. The movie does somewhat follow the Disney/Marvel formula but they throw some curveballs at you. There are several times when you expect a superhero style entrance or moment and they change it up with comedy. Overall an EXCELLENT movie. Expand

Woo-hoo! Three Marvel movies in one year! Everyone’s been celebrating 2017 as perhaps the best year for comic book movies in history, with every single one thus far either meeting or exceeding expectations. I understand the hype, as like theWoo-hoo! Three Marvel movies in one year! Everyone’s been celebrating 2017 as perhaps the best year for comic book movies in history, with every single one thus far either meeting or exceeding expectations. I understand the hype, as like the last couple of movies in the MCU, Thor: Ragnarok features lots of good comic timing thanks to director Taika Waititi’s (Hunt for the Wilderpeople, What We Do in the Shadows) effort in staging sound to time each gag. The excitement goes nonstop as the hero fights demon after demon against screaming rock music to put the final cherry on the sundae.

The continuation of the heroes’ journeys will expectedly keep committed fans raising their foam fingers of approval; when we first see Thor, he is chained over lava, face to face with a fiery demon, but without a hint of fear. When he meets his evil sister, she breaks his sacred hammer, and he’s later pit into a gladiator arena against a familiar green face, escalating the thrills with each new spectacle. The Incredible Hulk even has his own great moments faithful to when we last saw him, particularly in how he remained green and mean for the past two years.

But that doesn’t excuse Ragnarok’s empty sense of humanity. The lack of consistency essentially starts with Thor’s father passively dying, leaving his evil daughter to rule over Asgard, a “sad” moment standing as a mere plot motive with no hint of trauma. As for the Hulk, what exactly does he think about forgetting the last two years of his life? Apparently nothing, as all his self-doubt gets insultingly contradicted in his final moments on screen. A couple of other new members join Thor’s team, including Valkyrie. Right upon her introduction, she falls off a platform drunk, setting off a damaged amount of sympathy for her shallowness that carries on with every other new character thrown in without consideration.

For a majority of the feature, each supporting individual says their exact thoughts in service to exposition, even at the cost of satisfying closure to their stories. While I certainly learned plenty about what these new characters are, I learned little about who they are beyond funny caricatures. These characters needed to be more than comic relief against flashy colors to last longer than a month in audience’s memories. The laws of physics and social order make as much sense as the humanity, appearing a little too conscious about who needs to stay alive and who needs to stay beautiful after going through chaos. As a result, too much goes on in the climax to keep everyone active.

Marvel’s new freak of art does nothing valuable beside combine Greek mythology with visualized techno music, two things that should never go together. As a result, the world looks uglier than ever before, even for a comic book movie, from the stupid historical paintings decorating Asgard’s capital building to Hela’s overdesigned “crown” or whatever you call it. People already care so little about ancient cultures, so once it’s time for kids at school to learn about Greek history, they will think about something less valuable instead.

Although I most want to talk about the acting, an overstated aspect that the entire Marvel series in actuality does dreadfully. Chris Hemsworth deserves no praise for his awful performance; he just stilts around with a charming smile plastered onto his spray-tanned face as if waiting for an awkward school photo. The film’s comedic charisma has no thanks to give to him, an actor praised only because he’s handsome without being annoying. But Jeff Goldblum was the absolute worst casting decision; his instantly forgettable role simply felt awkward to watch, as he created the most painful attempts at humor. I can’t remember a time he has ever put on a good performance, and I wonder how he’s still getting cast in big movies today.

The nitpicks go on much further than you may assume:
Teenage boys might complain about the fake looking graphics fit for the X-Box.
Long time Marvel fans might complain about Doctor Strange’s underuse in an easily rewritable four-minute scene.
The more artsy viewers might complain about Hulk’s dumb looking gladiator armor.
The older viewers might complain about some of the seemingly never-ending jokes.
Women might complain about how Hela insults middle-aged women everywhere who want representation beyond roadblocks to men’s triumphs.
And parents might complain about the bad role model Thor sets for younger boys.
Thor’s first scene alone features him playing with his hammer in its 3D glory as he beats up demons Halo style. Then for the rest of the film he joyfully beats up his siblings, celebrating his rewards afterward. So why let boys look up to some self-righteous white dude with flowing blonde hair who brags about the hardness of his hammer? If anything, Thor will raise a generation of pompous blonde-haired men who think only about claiming the throne.

I had quite a bit of issues with Ragnarok. Most of my issues seem to be common consensus on the reviews I’ve seen but they all say it’s okay because the comedy was there which I disagree with. Even though there are many spoilery things II had quite a bit of issues with Ragnarok. Most of my issues seem to be common consensus on the reviews I’ve seen but they all say it’s okay because the comedy was there which I disagree with. Even though there are many spoilery things I could address I will remain spoiler free, at least for now on MetaCritic. The issue, I think, is that this felt like a parody. I think it’s very on level with something like GOTG 2; in fact, I genuinely thought Jeff Goldblum was The Collector from GOTG. Okay, just did some research and the two characters are brothers but Goldblum cameoed in GOTG2? I don’t know. I give up. I also think the ball might have been dropped a wee bit in the costuming department for the females because whenever they were in these body suits, they walk a little bit funny which was quite distracting. There were some distracting soundtrack scenes as well. But, the biggest issue is I felt like the humor was severely lacking. The jokes just felt like something an elementary schooler would find funny. I do not think this is Waititi vision’s fault but that it was better suited for like a television special as opposed to a live action two hour twenty minute show. I am still very interested in his other works, I just feel like this was not the right spot for his comedy. Expand
