Thor: Ragnarok Review


Directed by: Taika Waititi (What We Do In the Shadows, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Boy)

Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett, Jeff Goldblum, Mark Ruffalo

Written by: Eric Pearson, Craig Kyle, Christopher L. Yost, Based on the comics by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber, and Jack Kirby

Plot: The goddess of death (Blanchett) is wreaking havoc in Asgard. Thor (Hemsworth) must stop her, but he is held captive on another planet by the Grandmaster (Goldblum) along with the Hulk (Ruffalo).

Review: Much like the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, Thor Ragnarok takes place mostly in world's other than Earth. Coincidentally, it is also as fun as those movies.
It is full of action, vivid special effects, and great comedic moments. Director Taika Waititi, who also made the underrated comedy, What We Do in the Shadows, makes sure this movie has perfect comic timing.
The worlds this movie creates are fully realized. All of the characters are well written and acted. The movie is very funny, and has plenty of great action scenes. You have to give credit to a movie that has no less than two action pieces that are perfectly set to Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song.
This is the best Thor movie yet. It is also the best Hulk movie we have gotten so far. It could probably rank among the freshest, funniest, and most entertaining Marvel Cinematic Universe movies yet.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
