Thor: Ragnarok 2017

Met my expectations more than anything else. Entertaining and a lot of fun, but save for a few scenes I can see myself forgetting this in a few weeks. The comedic tone is there right from the beginning, and quite a few of the jokes did get a good laugh out of me. However, the upbeat feel at times take away from the stakes at risk and make the imminent threat not as threatening as it should be. The whole 80s/90s theme also doesn't feel very fitting because besides the use of a few songs, this felt like a modern Avengers hero movie, not something like the Guardians of the Galaxy go for. I'm going to blame that more on marketing than the movie.

Huge points go to the cinematography and excellent use of color, even compared to the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. If you've kept up with the Marvel movies so far, you're going to end up watching this anyways. It's a good fun watch, but nothing more.
