All the of the actors seem to be enjoying their roles and that enjoyment is transferred to the audience. The plot is predictable and does not matter, it involves the ageless Cate Blanchett as Thor and Loki’s evil sister resurfacing, while they are forced to work together and trapped with The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) on a planet rules by a vile yet laid back dictator played by Jeff Goldblum. Thor: Ragnarok succeeds with exactly what it set out to do, be a fun and sometimes silly spectacle, nothing more.

It features masterful use of music especially Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song”, on two separate occasions, and the score by Mark Mothersbaugh is very synth heavy at times, reminiscent of the Tron pictures or the movie scores of Vangelis. This movie is more of the same and some people may be tired of that but it is very colorful and well done. Ragnarok then jumps right into the action and like all other Marvel movies, the puns are plentiful and lighthearted and jovial tone is established right away. The camera scrolls up and reveals our hero Thor in a cage upside down along with some narration to catch the audience up with the previous films and how he ended up a prisoner. It opens up with an elaborate new Marvel logo that fades into rising red smoke. Luckily for the audience, Ragnarok is a fun, vibrant and exciting adventure. Thor: Ragnarok is taking a page from the Guardians of the Galaxy films and is just trying to have fun. Three is the charm for the God of Thunder. He is a good guy and all, but other than the fact that Chris Hemsworth is the perfect physical specimen to most women, there really is not much to his character or his movies… until now. Nor is Hemsworth as versatile and charismatic of a leading man as Robert Downey Jr. The Thor films are not as intricately written or masterfully directed as Captain America’s. His standalone movies are the weakest compared to his superhero comrades. Stars: Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett by Jason Koenigsbergįor the most part, Thor is basically everyone’s third or fourth favorite Avenger.
