Thor Ragnarok is excellent you should go see it, even if you are not a marvel or Thor fan it is a great wildly entertaining movie.

On Facebook, Larry Hama mentioned it was really good... and he's usually pretty critical of things, so I took that to mean something.
I enjoyed the other two Thor movies greatly. Dr Strange being the only stinker lately.

Thor: Ragnarok was a massive disappointment. It had the desperation of a bad sitcom thinking it needs to try and fill every minute with some kind of laugh. Yet I didn't laugh one time other than one small chuckle when Thor got hit in the face. It even descended into the kind of poop and bathroom humor that Jar Jar Binks graced Star Wars with. This was the cover band version of Guardians of the Galaxy with none of those movies' wit and style.
The movie forgets that a good comedy needs to have a solid narrative core that gives the audience its baseline. The jokes are then used to confound your expectations. You have to know what the story is about and HAVE expectations of what's coming next before you can find anything funny. Even in wild comedies like Airplane, there is a logical, familiar plot at its center that the jokes bounce off of. This movie was just a collection of random, unfocused events and a hodgepodge of characters with no logical reason to do what they're doing most of the time. The only time there's any feeling that this has a story at all is when Cate Blanchett is on screen. She's the only one who gives the movie any grounding in its own reality. But she disappears for a long, painful stretch in the second half and then whatever she might've been building up to ends up being severely underwhelming. The MCU is putting itself into an extremely sad state. This movie is an embarrassment to the superhero genre. I feel bad for any kids who have to see this as their first superhero movie. The first one I saw was Superman 3 and this one will give those kids just as bad an impression of superheroes. Superheroes are supposed to impart a sense of wonder and awe, not be reduced to cheap self-parodies. The approach this movie takes was wrong from the jump and its execution was worse. Anyone who tolerates this garbage should not call themselves a superhero fan. This movie was made with an underlying contempt for the genre by people who prefer to snicker at the concept of superheroes under their breath than to take them seriously. Wonder Woman deals with very similar concepts and a similar universe to Thor and absolutely outclassed this movie in every way. Wonder Woman shows its main character love and respect and creates a universe where you can really BELIEVE in the character. The original Superman movie's tagline said you will believe a man can fly. Ragnarok was made by people so cynical that they would consider it beneath themselves to try to believe in the power of the superhero myth. This is one of the worst Marvel superhero movies ever.

The movie? LOL. This is flat-out one of the DUMBEST scripts for a superhero movie I have ever witnessed. It's a thoughtless and careless bit of screenwriting utterly devoid of inspiration, creativity and intelligence.

I loved Ragnarok. I think it's one of the best, most enjoyable, Marvel movies and one of the best movies I've seen. Loved every single minute. I can see the GOTG similarities but I think the humour in Ragnarok was much more organic than in GOTG2.

This movie was pretty good. It's extremely fun and just hilarious. The weakness is that it doesn't have much drama or weight at all. They just threw in as much crazy nonsense as possible. Thor has some pretty good scenes at the end, but 99% of it just eye candy and jokes. It's good, just not 'Civil War' good.
Although now I do need a Knight of Accord so I can make a Scourge. And I need to look for a headsculpt for end-of-movie Thor. |
