My favorite superhero movie ever. A kaleidoscopic, absurd, serious, hilarious, super killer blast of endless fun...
Holy shit, why was this so funny?! :D :D :D I really love comedy, laughing can save anyone from the most negative feelings but sometimes I have a feeling that the Marvel movies go a bit too far with that. Every single Marvel is funnier than the one before. I wonder where that will lead to.
Seeing a speaking and laughing Hulk made my day hahaha and Cate Blanchett fits perfectly into the role of Hela, very good choice! And Korg was hilarious, I mean wtf. :D Aaand good to see Loki again, more or less ignoring the tesseract to save everyone, but his little sneak to the tesseract was priceless!
Skurge and Korg needed their own buddy movie.
Les 6 premières minutes sont géniales.
love the revengers. awesome movie like always from marvel.
Loved it. Thor is awesome.
This was super fun and have a lot of action.
The new characters are cool.
I hope we get to see them more.
Especially Korg and Valkyrie.
He was hilarious and she was fierce.
Just saw the movie
I gotta say Best Marvel Movie Ever
The only time I said that was for Guardians of the Galaxy, but this movie was truly the best
I won't say that this movie was better than I expected cuz to be honest they marketed it very well and my expectations were very high and it successfully reached what I was hoping for
The amount of comedy in this film was amazing, this movie was really really funny LOL, especially with the Hulk scenes I couldn't help myself
I liked what they did with the Hulk he was scary yet very very cute, I know it's strange to call The Incredible Hulk as cute but he truly was, they made him like a child and he talks to himself in the third person LOL, even others
Hulk stay, Thor go
Of course everything else also was amazing the visuals, the story, the FXs and the fight scenes
Hella was one of the best female characters I've ever seen, she was hot and BADASS, she was simply amazing
The last thing that shocked me was that they went with the story of Thor loosing one of his eyes like his father, I gotta say I wasn't expecting that at all and I don't know if they showed pics of this moment before but I haven't heard anything so it was the first time I've seen this in the theater
Anyway, I don't think any Marvel solo movie gonna top this but lets hope for the best
It premiered here in Brazil yesterday, and i just saw it... DAMN, TAIKA WAITITI, YOU SAVED THOR'S FRANCHISE! I really, really enjoyed this movie. Fun and action packed, this third movie of the Lord of Thunder, oops, God of Thunder, is really good. Great performances (hello Cate Blanchett, you slayed!), some plot twists and a great ending. Just pay attention to the first post-credits scene ;) I will totally see it again on theater!
I just finished a small production movie called Thor: Ragnarok….maybe you have heard of it or maybe if you’re lucky you might’ve even seen a trailer for this movie.
Ok totally kidding of course you know about this movie!! And you will hear a lot about it too in the coming days. Europe was lucky but alas America has to wait until the 3rd of November. So I will keep this spoiler free.
Not a real spoiler is that this is the 3rd movie of the Thor movies, and to my opinion it is the best of the 3!! Do you have to see the other 2 movies? No you don’t but it’s always better to do so. This movie starts not long after the Avengers: Age of Ultron, so it might be smart to rewatch that one again to know where some of the characters are. But it’s not a complete must, but I kinda think Marvel geeks already know all the movies by heart
Also not a spoiler is that this movie is also about the Grandmaster, who is played by Jeff Goldblum. The Grandmaster is the leader of the Contest of Champions, which is also a game app for Iphone and Android. It’s a little more funny if you play this game like I do (find MogwayLavendel in the game )
This movie is action packed with great scenery, music, humor and some nods to other movies.
Unfortunately I saw it in 2D, but I am definitely going to see this one in the Dolby Atmos Ultra Laser 3D, yes this movie is so good that i’m going to see it another time. It’s definitely my 2nd favorite movie of the year. (My favorite movie of the year is of course that other small Marvel movie Guardians of the Galaxy vol 2)
Be sure to check back next week for a spoiler filled review.
I recommend this movie A LOT!! It’s a 10 out of 10!!!
Great ass movie.Hensworth good actor

Everything is better with Jeff
That is the best thor movie, was very long but was very good
I sadly missed this in the theatre but made up for it now in 4K. Of course I knew this movie had to be good, because the good reviews were everywhere last year, but I was pleasently surprised that it was this awesome. The film is fun, has a nice story, an epic villain and a brilliant soundtrack. For sure the best part of the Thor trilogy.
Its a great movie with a different tone from the first two, im glad they let Hemsworth try his comedic side. Jeff Goldblum was golden in his Grandmaster character as well.
This movie is so well done, so fun, and the actors finally feel free to just have a good time. Cate Blanchett chews the scenery and gives Thor and Loki a run for their money. Give it a watch, it's Hela fun!
very funny movie, i loved it
that was a tremendously good soundtrack :)
Loved this movie. From start to end it's nothing but pure entertainment. I can't believe people are giving it bad reviews. This is a must watch movie!!
this movie was really, really good. solid story, amazing characters, wonderful soundtrack. it's definitely one of the best movies marvel has ever done, up there with captain america: the winter soldier.
"Hilarious"
For me, this is the best Thor movie and perhaps one of my favourite Marvel movies. The casting for the new characters was as always fantastic, you can't not love Cate as Hela! A great laugh from the beginning to the end with plenty of action to keep the audiences interested. A highlight for me was Idris Elba's Heimdall getting more screen time. For such a fantastic actor and interesting character this was well deserved.
This was a great movie. Nice pacing, fantastic action and just enough laughs to keep it light-hearted. Korg is a great character, and honestly I'd love to see him make a return for a more prominent role!
funny and great, very recomended.
Incredible! One of the best movies yet.
I love what Taika Waititi was able to do with a big blockbuster. It's so much fun and hilarious. I love all our heroes and all the new characters. Korg (voiced by Taika Waititi) was my favorite new character. Thor vs Hulk was fun and the whole planet Hulk subplot was way more entertaining than the Asgard story line. Hela didn't break the streak of boring Marvel villains but I thought Cate Blanchett still did good work with what she had. I really liked that it tied into the MCU with a (short) cameo by Dr. Strange and what looks to be Thanos's ship. Also that quick shot of the infinity gauntlet. Still missing one infinity stone, looking at you Heimdall. How much Korg are we going the get in Infinity War? Not enough!
Thor is going to be an interesting character going into infinity war. One eye, no hammer, and possibly captured by Thanos?
I still can't believe Matt Damon was in this.
I can't hear Immigrant Song without thinking of this movie and smiling.
nunca me divertir tanto em um filme, do começo ao fim só risadas o filme é de mais, vale muito a pena... só deveria ter durado mais tempo a luta entre o Thor e o Hulk...m
What a fresh relief from formula. No hammer, no problem. Loved this film thoroughly.
This is more comedy than action but did I feel like I was cheated of watching a super-hero movie? Absolutely not! And the comedy is in from the beginning. You can't stop laughing throughout all the serious moments because there's a wise-crack right in the middle of it. I think that was needed since there wasn't much of a story to follow and yet entertainment was thoroughly provided.
Best Thor movie by far, and one of the best from Marvel. So vibrant, colorful, with such an amazing soundtrack! It's funnier than GOTG and so much more relatable. All the characters are on point: Hela was a great, great villain and Dr. Strange made a short but awesome appearance. And once again Marvel showed us how much it nails on the trailers, things did not happed as I expected they would from what they showed us. The only complaint I have is that sometimes I felt like the jokes were a bit longer than deserved. But most of them were great and it was probably the movie I laughed the most in recent years. The only downside for me was Mark Ruffalo. He seemed like he took a little time to click, it just didn't seem to fit the rest of the cast. He looked like a different character, whereas Chris Hemsworth was able to mantain most of Thor's spirit on a movie that has a very different approach to the previous he was on.
I also liked the bold moves they performed on this movie. Odin dead, Asgard destroyed, Thor missing and eye and without the Hammer... He suddenly went from least favorite avenger to a very interesting character to follow on Infitine War. I just hope for more Asgardian accent moving forward!
This movie just makes me smile.
Good story, comedy, actions and characters. Loved it!
wtf with the haircut!!! II know they were like it in the comics but cmon!
Very well paced, doesn't take itself too serious. Just an extremely accessible and fun film. The mashup of themes and the cinematography were spot on. I can't really put the film into words, it just gives you a feeling. As cheesy as that may sound.
Thor: Ragnarok
A movie deserving of the characters of Thor and The Hulk.
A heavily stylised action packed and humorous ride on an 80's acid dream.
Pacing was a little off and the plot was terribly cliché in parts
Goldblum and Waititi were gems.
8.5/10

Marvel has finally done it - a fantastic Thor movie. Much like other movies by Taika Waititi, the humour is fantastic - my audience had full-on laughter countless times in the film. All actors play their parts extremely well, the cinematography for a few shots is amazing and there are a lot of extra cameos to watch out for including some from Waititi's previous films. It could be argued that the film has pacing issues at the start but if you're up-to-date with the Marvel universe you'll enjoy this fresh approach to the start of a film within the franchise. As always with Marvel movies, there are two extra scenes so stay all the way through the credits (although the more important scene is the first one)
if I could inject the immigrant song scene into my bloodstream and live off of it I would
i can’t believe someone deadass had to sit and animate hulk’s bare ass
My biggest issue with this movie is that for a movie with Ragnarok in its title, Ragnarok plays a shockingly small part in the movie's story. There's so much cool stuff in Norse mythology when it comes to Ragnarok, this epic apocalyptic event, and the movie just brushes it aside for a goofy story about Thor and Hulk on Sakaar. I just wish this was split into two different movies.
"Even with two eyes, you only see half of the picture."
Why the hell did I wait this long to finally watch Thor: Ragnarok? Can someone please answer this?
Taika Waititi is all Thor needed to establish himself even further ahead of everyone as my favorite Marvel character. This might be Chris Hemsworth best take on the God of Hammers. I also love that one of the first Marvel books I've read was kind of in here with Planet Hulk.
The humor was also on point, along with the colors and music. Tessa Thompson rocks as Valkyrie and I'm so happy she's returning in the next installment. Tom Hiddleston is always a treat, Cate Blanchett rocks as the big baddie, Jeff Goldblum is a scene stealer as Space-Goldblum and Idris Elba rocks that sword like no other and a talking Hulk is the best Hulk.
Anyway Thor: Ragnarok is up there with my favorite MCU films and I think is one of those that is a great one to rewatch multiple times. Now I'm so excited for the follow-up next year but so afraid to rewatch the two solo Thor movies before Ragnarok.
Yes, this is the one Thor needed.
Heck yeah. Best modern MCU movie. So good and so funny. I haven't seen the first 2 but this is so good you can't not watch this.

3,000 Total Play on Trakt
50th Movie watched in 2021
'Thor: Ragnarok' continues the upward direction of the 'Thor' films.
I had a blast with this. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the story unfold, the score is terrific, the new and old cast members are great and there's a lot of amusement in there too. It's superb, it's my third favourite MCU film at this stage.
Don't get me wrong, I like the 2011 original but that's turned out to be the weakest of the three. I found 'Thor: The Dark World' to be a fairly major improvement on that, this 2017 is narrowly better than that aforementioned 2013 release. Bring on 'Thor: Love and Thunder'!
Chris Hemsworth is quality in the lead role, I found him super enjoyable in this second sequel. Big fan of his new hairstyle, by the way. This is also the most I liked Tom Hiddleston in an MCU film. Jeff Goldblum, Cate Blanchett and, particularly, Tessa Thompson are fab additions. Shoutout to (director, as well!) Taika Waititi also, he made me laugh a fair few times as Korg.
Great film, oh and I love the nod to a certain 1971 Quaker Oats Company-induced film... nicely done.
third watch and this still has one of my favorite action sequences ever. that bifrost fight, man.
THE WACPINE OF ‘THOR: RAGNARÖK’
WRITING: 10
ATMOSPHERE: 9
CHARACTERS: 9
PRODUCTION: 10
INTRIGUE: 9
NOVELTY: 10
ENJOYMENT: 9
The Good:
One reason Thor: Ragnarök is so utterly successful and immensely enjoyable is the mix of sharp humour, great acting and an exhilaratingly original and satisfying plot that takes audiences for a fun ride.
Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston have never been better onscreen together, you can sense that brotherly banter between them.
It took the MCU forever to introduce a compelling, likeable and memorable female villain. Cate Blanchett is everything you want from an onscreen version of Hela.
I love the somewhat unusual plot structure here. The first half recreates the Planet Hulk storyline and sees Thor challenged by the Hulk in a gladiator battle. It's utterly bonkers and funny, even if it isn't directly tied to the rest of the plot. The second half returns the focus on Hela and Ragnarök and feels more like a traditional Thor film, but with bigger stakes.
Director Taika Waititi clearly likes his source material and loves his characters, because he embraces this film courageously with his very own touch, boldly going where other Marvel films have not gone before.
This film isn’t all fun and thrills. The script allows Thor to handle his relationship with Loki, it creates a strong aura of threat around Hela and also continues to set up the Infinity War storyline perfectly. It also allows Banner to deal with his personality issues one and for all.
One of the greater plot strands in the film is the one that allows Thor to see that he is more than just his hammer. He is the God of Thunder after all.
All the newcomers are great additions. Jeff Goldblum plays the Grandmaster in a way only Jeff Goldblum could play him, while Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie is a lost soul with a big heart.
The soundtrack is a loveable mix of classic MCU tracks and a very 80s inspired synth track.
The climax is the best in any Thor film to date.
The Bad:
Arguably, the entire gladiator sequence feels like an overlong subplot that prevents the film to focus on its primary storyline. This is not a major problem though, as the Planet Hulk storyline is very entertaining.
Come to think of it, Doctor Strange appears in a pointless cameo and brings nothing to the plot.
The Ugly:
I guess they Asgardians became the Asgardians of the Galaxy now.
CAWPINE RATING: 9.43 / 10 = 4,5 stars
This is by far the best Thor movie as it helps to make the character of Thor played by Chris Hemsworth even more likeable as the previous two solo films I feel missed that. Also, this might be the funniest Marvel film ever as this film had me almost gut laughing at points, but it never loses its seriousness as I feel it handles some of the characters miles better than previous films, obviously, Tom Hiddleston (Loki) is still awesome but even Idris Elba (Heimdall) was more likeable in this film as the film gave his character more purpose.
I also like the addition of adding Hulk into this film as it gave me Planet Hulk vibes and Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner / Hulk) is just really good in that role in my opinion and I liked every single addition of characters in this film, but my favourite was Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie) as she is just a really badass character and she plays the part of this damaged warrior so well, can't wait to see her in more of the films. Also, the soundtrack of this film is killer as it has a great original score and the use of Immigrant Song during the two action sequences was perfect.
Might be one of my favourite MCU films and it is at least top five for me.
I had concerns after Ragnarok's trailers. Not because they were weak, but more the opposite: I worried that the finished product couldn't live up to the steep expectations they'd set. That, and I had anxiety that the out-of-nowhere neon '80s theme would be a thin, superficial gimmick, slapped on to ride a trend and nothing more. In both respects, I couldn't have been more wrong. The trailer's just the tip of the iceberg for this epic, sprawling, colorful, unabashedly hilarious joyride of an adventure.
It does the big blockbuster moments well, with power and meaning and a shiver-inducing use of Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" at two key moments. The dialog is right on-point for the duration, looser and more conversational than any of the previous Marvel films. Credit director Taika Waititi for that, allowing the cast to ad-lib freely in nearly every scene. Sakaar, a new planet that doubles as hub for all the universe's discarded crap, is a day-glow fantasy that would've been right at home in one of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. In that setting, the retro graphics and glitchy synth score (a wonderful contribution from Devo frontman Mark Mothersbaugh) feel natural, and we're able to enjoy a fresh perspective on the Avengers' resident lightning-slinger.
It does attempt to do an awful lot - I haven't even mentioned Cate Blanchett's sinister turn as this week's dark flavor - and that gives the first hour a rather scattered, random personality. Everything comes together nicely in time for the grand climax, though, and I left the theater with a huge grin and a new favorite of the MCU. It's everything I wanted, and a few things I didn't know I needed.
Such a blast! Entertaining through and through. Great end cap to the Thor series and solid entry into the bigger MCU picture. Genuinely funny, with some great visuals and action set pieces. A little annoyed at how a few characters were handled, but the rest of the movie makes up for that.
I'll just say it. It seemed like most of the movie was focused on escaping Grandmaster rather than facing Ragnarok. I loved the movie, but find both Hulk and Banner's casting dreadful. Hulk's voice doesn't sound right to me, and Banner (I know he's the same actor as the previous movies) doesn't look the part. I'd rather have someone who looks like the comic character, but alas. 9/10 loved it. Puts DC movies to shame.
omg never laughed like this in a loooooong time. this is the best movie of 2017. loved it.
Really, Really Good. After two misfires, they finally got the tone right - lots of fun. Big action, big story, great cast (a superbly ripped Chris Hemsworth) good mix of heroes (I missed Lady Sif, though, but hopefully she escaped the slaughter and will show up in the next movie), convincing villain, twists and turns, stellar CG, entertaining, spot on humour. Even after a rewatch, I give this a 9 (superb) out of 10. [Superhero Action Adventure]
Definitely the best Thor movie. One of the best Marvel movies to date. Tied with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.1 as the best comedy by Marvel. Loved it.
Not only the best Thor movie but the best Marvel film since the first Guardians of the Galaxy. Chris Hemsworth was at his best. Especially when he tries to calm down the Hulk by saying what Black Widow would. That was hilarious.
I just wish they didn't acknowledge the Banner and Widow relationship ever happened though. Which is my only complaint. Well, that and Jeff Goldbluim is slightly miscast as the Collector's brother, the Grandmaster.
Cate Blanchett totally makes up for her goofy villain performance in Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull though. She's one of the only Marvel villains that hasn't been a disappointment. Next to Vulture and Ego.
Thor: Ragnarok is just a bad ass and fun movie, start to finish. Oh and I definitely didn't miss Jane Foster. No Natalie Portman and you have the best Thor movie. Gee, I wonder why lol.
It makes me wish this was Thor 2 so we could possibly get another movie.
I can see why this has been called one of the best MCU film's. It's funny and plays a large role for thanos and his entrance to infinity war. The gauntlet you and a few infinity stones show up.
Jeff Goldbluim as the Collector's brother, the Grandmaster. As well as the Hulk in gladiator gear makes this one a must see.
Why isn't Lady Sif back though ?
Is Marvel just going to keep increasing the comedy value?
How much is enough?
Thor Ragnarok is a comedy action movie, or simply put ->
https://i.imgur.com/OqUYCJX.png
| FIRST THOUGHT |
Take Thor, mix it with Hulk.
Put your hand on the "comedy" button, press it and never release it.
It's this movie.
And it doesn't actually stop, throughout the entire time. You can't quite figure out how much it takes itself seriously. And it's so goddamn good.
Before you go on about and watch it, you need to put yourself in a spectrum where you're going to enjoy senseless beating and constant, crispy comedy.
It is definitely worth watching. It is worth your time, your money and putting on clothes to get out of your home. (Or just do it like me, I never put on clothes.)
| STORY & ACTORS |
Well, what can be said about the story on a Marvel movie?
However you want to put it, it's actually nothing so special, there's obviously no level of "deepness" to it. It's very linear, of course, with a happy ending - Although I have to admit, very enjoyable.
It's structured for the sole purpose of starting what is going to be the actual, gigantic movie: Infinity War - while closing down the history and settling the character of Thor for good. (Much better than what they did with Iron Man)
I think Marvel, with this one, truly captured the perfect combination of "comedy" and "action" to it's MCU. Sorting out everything that lacked in the second installment of "Guardians of Galaxy".
The comedy was throughout really enjoyable, it was predictable, but we can't pretend much of it - it's classical "Thor & Hulk" memes.
The story also doesn't hold to a very interesting villain. It's really unfortunate because of Hela's position in the comics, but at the same time I can understand what the movie wanted to speak about, so I really cannot be as frustrated as I did with other movies. cough*Wonder Woman*cough
It does, at the same time, bring up new, fun characters (To the MCU). Korg (voice acted by also director Taika Waititi) was an absolute blast and pure enjoyment at everything he said. It can come out as pathetic or annoying, but that just means that you shouldn't watch superhero movies.
I can't talk enough about comedy without entering the realm of "acting", and in doing so, eventually to the actors.
/I will only "in-depth note" some of the actors\
I'll say this, and it took me SIX movies to finally agree and accept it: Chris Hemsworth brought Thor to a level as high as Robert Downey Jr. and Hugh Jackman did with both Iron-Man and Wolverine. I can't "unsee" a Thor that isn't Chris Hemsworth, and this movie put on that thought the final stone.
He showed passion to a character that ended up developing itself positively in barely 2 hours and 10 minutes.
Mark Ruffalo, boy, they finally made him lose that terrifying, horrible gloomy attitude of the Avengers movie. He finally embraced his nature, and so Mark had more room to depict a promising version of Bruce Banner.
Cate Blanchett was disintegrated by the flatness of how they shaped Hela. The villain was disregarded and had no soul. It was just big talk, terrible powers, besides being a Charlie's Angel and ultimately she didn't show anything positive for the movie, except some stuff you will need to see.
Tessa Thompson was a FANTASTIC Brunnhilde. She portrayed that character to a point where the seconds passed and I loved her more and more. I can really say nothing more or add to it, just watch her.
I won't talk about how the Hulk acted because you need to see it first-hand. He's the big star here, remember, this is Hulkhor: Ragnasmask.
Jeff Goldblum as The Grandmaster is fucking weird, man... Weirdly good?
| CINEMATOGRAPHY |
Here's where it gets interesting.
There's a load of color combinations that I found soothing, very soothing and that is perfect because it brings out from the screen the variety and SATURATION of what this movie actually is. The palettes were perfect.
I found the CGI, in some of the action/fighting scenes to be lacking a little bit, especially in very fast-paced shots it looked very unrealistic. And the same can be said about everything, to the brittle of walls getting destroyed, to some of the weapons portrayed.
I don't actually know what happened there, maybe I was too focused on it and eventually could see past the CGI (which is a big mistake to make), but unless you are actively trying to do so it's really minor.
Choreographies, I was actually impressed. The past "Thor" movies were just a bunch of "tank & spank" moves. Fortunately, this wasn't entirely the case, near the end, it lacked a bit, but it's not very noticeable considering everything that's going on.
Music, there was distinct moment where it went from a more classical route to then being mixed out with a more electronic feel, it was a really hearing stimulating oxymoron, so to speak.
I will never get tired of The Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin.
| FINAL THOUGHT |
All things considered, if we're about to take this logically...
The pros definitely beat the cons in this one.
It is, on that thought, WORTH A WATCH.
And I'll add something that might stir up some grunt:
My official "favorite MCU movie" has changed.
Movie: 8/10
Hulk: 11/10

AGAIN.... 60 people alredy voted and we haven´t even seen the trailer of this movie
Unlike most of the other Marvel movies (except maybe Guardians), this is a transcendental thrill ride. The story is a little weak, but there is still a lot of fun to be had. From the director of one of my fave movies of last year, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, this retains much of that film's humour, with a few of the cast members popping up occasionally. The film will probably divide Marvel diehards, but I'm glad the execs allow for some creative diversions to keep things fresh within the series.
[7.6/10] One of the best things about the original Star Wars film was its characters. The special effects were innovative, and the myth arc was substantial, but it all might have fallen apart if you hadn’t felt the warmth, jostling, and connection between Luke, Leia, and Han. Thor: Ragnorak, while not nearly as good as A New Hope can rely on the same saving grace.
It too, can boast some pretty impressive special effects. With scant few minutes of screen time spent on Earth, a first for a Thor movie, director and franchise newcomer Taika Waititi goes wild with imagination in Asgard, new locale Sakaar, and other spots throughout the (conspicuously unguarded) galaxy. The design work in the film is impeccable, with candy-colored garbage dumps; lurid, pro-wrestling style showdowns, and fresco-like flashbacks. There’s the expect quotient of CGI combat and magical mayhem, commendable if common, but Ragnarok delivers on the promise of the weirdness and variety of Marvel’s cosmic realm.
The film also delivers its own myth arc. This one centers on a prophesied apocalypse, the oft named-dropped Ragnarok, that will supposedly leave Asgard in ruins. Thor aims to prevent this from happening, whether it means stealing the crown of a fire demon, defending against the ambitious, lebensraum-seeking Hela, or foiling the plans of his own treacherous brother Loki. The main plot of the film sees Hela, Ragnarok’s major villain, trying to take over Thor’s homeland, with eyes on doing the same to the whole universe, while Thor, stranded on the forgotten planet Sakaar tries to marshal resource and allies to return home and take her down.
But as decent a framework as that provides for a superhero flick, it almost feels perfunctory to the film. So do the character arcs, the good guy/bad guy fights, and the inevitable continuity nods and cameos. Instead, what makes the film work is giving Waititi a bunch of new toys and letting him welcome the audience into his sandbox for a while. Ragnarok doesn’t break much new ground for the genre, or make anything more than cosmetic changes to its major characters are when the credits roll, but it’s entertaining as hell from moment to moment, and that earns it plenty of goodwill.
That’s not a shock after Waititi’s last directorial effort, the hilarious What We Do in the Shadows. The film, a vampire mockumentary, has an overarching story that gives it some direction, and continuing developments that matter, but it’s more a collection of amusing scenes and episodes than a tightly-written, propulsive story. Ragnarok has a similar persistent but not unwelcome shagginess to it. The main plot takes forever to kick into gear, the various scenes sprinkled in from different corners of the galaxy either deliver exposition or focus more on our just heroes hanging around together, and by the time the inevitable third act uberclash arrives, it feels like more of a necessary capper than a culmination of what came before.
And yet, it’s an enjoyable, if occasionally lumpy two hours of superhero fun, and much of that comes from the simple joys of watching these characters bounce off one another. Chris Hemsworth has found his light as Thor, bringing the comic rounding to the high fantasy hero. Tom Hiddleston is one of the few breakout villains from the Marvel stable, and acquits himself with the usual aplomb. The trailers give away that Hulk is along for this ride, and between the green monster’s angry toddler-esque demeanor, and Mark Ruffalo returning the franchise’s fish out of water favor, he’s a fun addition to this part of the world. And Tessa Thompson joins the fray as Valkyrie, whose standard tragic backstory isn’t nearly as compelling as her presence as a hard-drinking, no B.S. “scrapper” who fits nicely into Waititi’s milieu.
And that’s before you even get to the antagonists. Neither Hela, the film’s big bad, nor Grandmaster, the intermediate annoyance, have all that much to do in the movie. The former issues the usual assortment of threats and boasts, and the latter is given the usual corrupt leader schtick.
But that’s the beauty of enlisting ringers like Cate Blanchett and Jeff Goldblum to breathe life into these underwritten roles. Blanchett vamps it up with abandon as Hela. Between the killer design work and Blanchett’s presence, Hela feels far more textured and compelling than she might seem on the page, as the outstanding actress goes big but wins big. By the same token, Goldblum is at his Goldblum-y peak, with the stuttery, self-possessed charm that makes Grandmaster a boon to the film’s comic intentions and more than just an easily-overcome obstacle.
Add in ringers like Karl Urban as Hela’s lieutenant and finding a distinctive personality for a generic brute, and Idris Elba, who returns as Heimdall and is capable of making even the most shopworn blockbuster banalities sound profound, and you get a movie that’s just fun to watch at a scene-to-scene basis, even when it’s not clear that it’s really going anywhere.
That’s not to say that Ragnarok has nothing on its mind. While the metaphor never gets beyond skin deep, there’s an interesting parallel in England and other colonial empires at the center of the film. Hela is a partisan of a bygone era, where Odin conquered neighboring realms to build his kingdom. Thor is the inheritor of that kingdom, uneasy with that role and its legacy. The conflict between the two, and the confrontations and recriminations issued against Odin, nod toward the same reckonings happening in the modern world as industrialized nations try to reconcile their humanitarian presents with their dark, colonial pasts. Notions of erasing uncomfortable histories, finding pride in peoples rather than places, loom large in Ragnarok, and the subtext is apparent.
But apart from that idea, the third Thor movie is pretty lax about what it’s saying about its characters. Thor learns a lesson akin to “the real power was in your heart all along.” Loki jumps back and forth along the heel/face line of demarcation as many times as you’d expect. And Hulk, Banner, and Valkyrie all find ways to confront their pasts in ways that, shockingly, dovetail nicely with the quest to defeat Hela.
Those arcs, however, aren’t really the point. The point is Thor assuring Hulk that he doesn’t like Banner, and then assuring Banner that he doesn’t like Hulk. The point is Grandmaster making fun of a depowered “Lord of Thunder” for his “sparkles.” The point is Valkyrie casually electrifying her prey until it’s compliant while sipping some intergalactic brew. The point is random items thrown at Loki, wry asides from Hela, and funny, soft-spoken rock monsters.
Waititi & Co. aren’t out to revolutionize the superhero film. They’re not varying the formula all that much or taking the characters in markedly new directions or crafting some elegantly-constructed tale. They’re giving you two hours of creative, endearing, and eminently laugh-worthy entertainment, as enjoyable in chunks and stretches as it as a whole. Ragnarok may be no more than the sum of its parts, but those parts are too enjoyable to care.
How did this happen?
Thor: Ragnarok is everything I wanted it to be. Taika Waititi is one of the most interesting filmmakers working today and it is great to see a major studio allow such a unique voice to make the exact film that they wanted to without sacrificing their creativity. This is not only one of the best Marvel films but one of the best straight comedies of the decade. I cannot wait to see what Waititi has in store in the future.
"A funny and colorful cosmic adventure that sets a new standard for its franchise -- and the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe."
The best moments have been the fight of Hulk against Thor and Thor ignited like God of the Thunder, that not of the hammers.
A good fun movie which doesn't take itself too seriously, that's the way superhero movies should be
Who doesn't love the combination of Hulk and Thor for the ultimate battle of the Gods. This is the funnier combination of the Marvel Universe, diving deep into the Asgardian story with a comedic twist. Enjoy the ride, its a light movie and filled with action. Thor was the main character but the Hulk just shined in this movie, simple as that.
Must See Movie!
Rewatching good movies is easy, and Thor: Ragnarok is a good movie.
I think I said everything I wanted to say about it in my last review.
Ok...so...yeah...hmm.
I feel a bit guilty liking this...
Somehow my mind says that this is yet another cookie-cutter Marvel movie, but...well...I had a good time watching Thor: Ragnarok. Actually...I had a VERY good time watching Thor: Ragnarok.
The comedy is great, the action scenes and effects borders on brilliant, the music IS brilliant, and the story and acting...well...this IS a Marvel movie. You can't expect everything to be up to par.
To be serious for a moment, if you are into the Marvel universe, don't miss this one. It's one the better of the later Marvel outings. Mainly because it's a bit different. Watch it, and you'll see what I mean.
Yeah, yeah...I know...it's actually more on par with the latest movies...not better, but I guess I was rather excited when I wrote that.
Thor: Ragnarok is good...trust me.
It's a Tie, between Thor Ragnarok and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 !
The Hulk doing anything but smashing stuff is stupid
Hilarious! I never actually felt any suspense regarding the conflict/plot, but all characters were great and Hela (Cate Blanchett) sure had me swooning.
So, they turned this into a comedy?... Well, I'm cool with that, I had a lot of fun with this movie! :D
It's all very reminiscent of "Guardians of the Galaxy" (the colourful scenery and characters, even the '80s style soundtrack), it feels like they were trying to see if the same formula would stick on a different franchise. And guess what? It did. Be warned, though, this movie can get quite hilarious, at times, to the point of it actually being weirdly hilarious, considering the kind of movie it is and the tone of its predecessors.
Even though it sort of feels a bit out of place in a Thor movie, the retrowave soundtrack is great (for those of you who care about this sort of thing)!
If you want a FUN superhero movie, forget "Homecoming" (unfortunately, since I'm a Spidey fan), "Ragnarok" is what you'll want to see. I guarantee you that the fun is, huh, guaranteed.
Never been a fan of the Thor movies till I watched this one that used the right hammer and hits the nail in the right spot, specially with It's humour and action also loved It's opening. Collection worthy.
Thor: Ragnarok is the "Friends" of Marvel movies. Thor is Chandler, The Hulk is Joey and Ross is Doctor Strange. It's good light entertainment, but I still prefer Suicide Squad.
Outside of that epic cover used for the first trailer of Fincher's Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Ragnarok has some of my favorite uses of Zeppelin's Immigrant Song in movies.
Kinda hard to fuck up using Led Zeppelin in a movie; hell, even Damon sputtering the lyrics to Kashmir in the "lost in translation" scene in Ocean's Twelve was one of the biggest highlights of that movie.
We see Skurge the Excutioner using machine guns against Hela's forces, which is something that did occur in the comics, the cover of Thor# 362 shows Skurge doing this. The story arc this occurs in is after the one involving Malekith and the Dark elves as shown in Thor The Dark World where the elves invaded Earth and Assgardian forces stopped them. Another Assgardian, Harokin, got the firearms from soem U.S. soldiers and brought them to Assgard where they were given to Skurge so he could hold off Hela's forces.
The heavens shake as Thor fights for the survival of Asgard in Thor: Ragnarok. When Odin dies after being exiled to Earth, his daughter Hela, the Goddess of Death, is released from her prison and returns to Asgard intent on conquering the nine realms; and when Thor and Loki stand up to her they’re banished to a rogue world run by the Grandmaster, who forces Thor to fight in gladiatorial combat. Cate Blanchett is quite good as the villain, as is Karl Urban as her henchman. However, Jeff Goldblum phones in his performance and seems incredibly out of place. The action scenes are extraordinarily fun and exciting, and director Taika Waititi does an amazing job at giving the film a visually rich and interesting look. Also, the whimsical-humor works especially well, keeping the tone light and upbeat. Thor: Ragnarok brings new life to the series and shows how rich and storied each part of the Marvel Universe is.
"A funny and colorful cosmic adventure that sets a new standard for its franchise -- and the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe."
almost 8.5/10 ; story was like a children's tale but they somehow made it enjoyable ....almost like Deadpool funny
Great film. Infinity Wars is coming...
It's so funny! And starting with The Immigrant Song just sets a great action tone.
The only Thor movie I really enjoyed. Also
WHY DOES HE LOOK LIKE LUKE MITCHELL IN THE COVER ABOVE?
..by Odin's beard this was the funniest Marvel movie so far!
Simply one of the best super-hero movies I've seen to date. Great cast. great comedy. great action.
Taika Waititi adds his trademark humour (and all the saturation) to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I had a blast.
There are flaws in this and mostly all movies of this type, but I was entertained. I think this movie is just that, fun and entertaining as it should be.
Marvel decidiu dar um outro tom para o filme do Thor, os dois primeiros tiveram outra pegada mais pé no chão e cores mais densas e até mesmo tendo alívio cômicos no filme. Já este tem uma pegada mais Guardiões da Galaxia, bem leve e com cores vibrantes, acho que o personagem se renovou no Universo Cinematográfico da Marvel mesmo nas HQs não tendo muito a ver com ele essa pegada de Ragnarok pra mim funcionou muito bem.
Pontos Fortes:
Hulk Consciente de si e falando.
Tom do filme renovado.
A personagem da Valquíria funciona bem.
Lutas ao som de Immigrant Song
Pontos Fracos:
Loki poderia ser aproveitado de outra forma.
A morte de Odin poderia ser marcante assim como a morte da Frigga.
Surtur poderia ser melhor.
it has good jokes. it has good theme
It was not like it predecessors, and that is a good thing! This movie answered the question: what is flash Gordon was A GOOD movie? It was bold in color, humorous with its lines, and just the right amount of playing time. It also touches on the subjects of family and home for you emotional folks. Don't see it in 3D! There are no elements of it worth seeing for more money.
Thor made one helluva comeback let me tell you that! This movie was absolutely brilliant. It was exciting, it was beautiful, it was fun and it was so entertaining.
The storyline was really good, there were a few parts that were a bit creepy/scary but they did a great job at keeping everything rather "light". The whole thing fell into place perfectly, it was solid and it just had a very nice flow. The acting and choice of actors, again very well done. (heads up, I'm probably not going to say anything negative in this review) I loved that they added so many new characters to this movie. But I also loved seeing all the familiar faces. Tessa Thompson was such a strong female, I adored her, she is so beautiful. Cate Blanchett did a great job (but when doesn't she?) as Hela, very scary. Benedict Cumberbatch his small appearance was one to remember, so funny. One of my favourite parts was the address he stayed at, I mean that was one great wordplay. Really, I could go and call out the whole cast because I think they all did such a great job. Jeff Goldblum, very funny. Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston, Idris Elba, Mark Ruffalo, they all were amazing. I can't get over it. But I'll stop talking about it, for now. (Matt Damon, I saw you brother, I saw you)
The soundtrack was so good as well, the song that came on when Thor started fighting. Such a good song. I half expected Wonder Woman to appear on screen everytime it started, but still, such a cool song. Probably making it that ma jam.
This movie was so beautifully made, and it was so funny. All the people who worked on it deserve every bit of praise they can get. This might be one of my new favourite Marvel movies. If you haven't watched it already, I recommend you to run to the nearest theatre because you won't regret a minute of it.
Great movie for having a good time! Funny how everything gets destroyed and you keep laughing. A dark theme, but the jokes make it an enjoyable family movie.
Though the beginning is a little awkward, overall a good marvel movie. To be honest, one of the best I've seen so far (along with Iron Man and guardians of the galaxy)
Pretty fun. Great action scenes, an interesting story, and a lot of cool characters. The jokes sometimes get in the way of the story and deflate the mood, but they mostly work.
Also, I hate that they gave away almost the entire movie in the trailers, even the final scenes. It would've been nice to have some surprises.
great images, good sound and music
had a great time watching this movie
a lot of jokes and funny moments (maybe a bit too much) for a fair result
left me with the impression of what a good marvel movie could be (the "could" here is just to emphasize that it's not the only way Marvel films are great, I found the efforts made here to be quite relevant to the spirit of the franchise)
Anyway, I'm not a big Marvel fan nor a film expert, so don't take my words as the Holy Truth and see for yourself !
i'm going to watch that
Weird as hell sci fi, fantasy and conedy. Seems like a bit of a mess and that is because it follows no standard tropes of storytelling. A multi million dollar gamble that is sure to polarize fans and critics. Not that there is anything wrong with that. 7/10
Happy they got rid of Portman, hated her!
Anyways, nice movie, could've been better, if not for some plot holes here and there.
The whole movie just feels like a big joke, of course we’ve come to know that Marvel likes a bit more comedy in their superhero films but boy oh boy did they go overboard with this one. I don’t know if it’s because I prefer more serious takes on superheroes but before you leave the hater reply hear me out.
I feel like you have to have a mix to cater to audiences both like me and the people that like the joking around. Other MCU movies at this point had a fairly ok mix for my taste but when you go 250% like on this film (or like Guardians of the Galaxy) you end up with things like scenes that are supposed to have emotional weight like the ending scene on the escape vessel or even The Hulk's identity crisis come off as cherry and funny which they may not need to be. I feel like films like Wonder Woman (as a DC example, it’s flaws aside) and The Winter Soldier (as an MCU example, also it’s flaws aside) to be a good mix of both seriousness and “jokiness” and the ratings reflect it.
Understand that I don’t think it’s a bad movie, It’s very well produced, has a great cast and it's very well directed as we’ve come to expect from Marvel’s high budget. It’s just that this kind of constant (dare I say) forced comedy isn’t really my cup of tea. If you like this kind of dynamic you’re gonna love it.
Thor Ragnarok showed once again that Marvel allows a lot of liberty in the personalities of characters.
I really liked the direction Taika Waititi took with this film, and had a lot of fun with it, but the characters all felt like comedic pawns. This wasn't as bad as Avengers: Age of Ultron in this respect, but still bugged me at times for the continuity of the MCU.
As for the movie, the acting was great, the story was fun, and it fits right in with the plot. I really appreciated the creative license afforded to Taika Waititi allowing for what is probably the quirkiest MCU Movie to date.
Would recommend for a fun, comedic, super hero movie.
I have to say honestly i expected something else from Thor:Ragnarok,something better actually.Im a big marvel fan and this is not what Thor is. Please leave the comedy for comedy heroes like deadpool or GotG. This "hero saga" its more mature than jokes about Hulk being the stupidest avenger...Its funny but i dont think its supposed to be funny,i laughed more than i got thrilled, and i think thrill and those scared/surprised inspirations that where acomplished much better in Civil War for example were lacking in this movie. You got to rethink your choices, the destruction of Asgard,Thors home,should be more significant,even though Asgard its not the place,its still where Thor grew.
I hope they dont do the same in Black Panther and Infinity Wars...
The movie is good! But is some a bridg for infinit war. They could have explored planet Hulk more. Incidentally, Planet Hulk deserved a solo movie
I didn't like it on my first watch but come to like it on rewatch. The characters are too good.
I generally regard comic book movies as little more than breezy summer movies to watch outside on the patio. This film felt like it offered a bit more for someone like me. First, I thought it was pretty funny in many areas. Second, the addition of fantastic actors such as (the ridiculously underrated) Cate Blanchett and Jeff Goldblum really added a lot to the movie.

By far, one of the best films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe! 2017 is definitely the reign of Marvel. I have to admit that the Thor films weren't the best, but this one is remarkable.
The first two Thor films were boring, but this one made up for it! I loved how Thor's funny side was more evident in here than in the previous films. AND DAMN, that haircut, though.
HULK + THOR ??? This is honestly the combination I never thought I needed. Their chemistry is so great and so natural, I never thought they'd bring so much tears in my eyes.
Tessa Thompson as the Valkyrie. The way she brought life to her character was simply breathtaking. I'm definitely 100% more anticipated to see her in the next films.
Although, the plot was a little too shallow for me. There was no ultimate climax that made the film exciting. Yes, the Hulk vs Thor scene was amazing, but other than that, it seemed like a generic superhero plot.
Lastly, is it just me or is it weird that they're stuck in space, while the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. manage to get in a space jail cell?
