Thor: Ragnarok

 

No hammer. No problem.

by ·

Marvel movies can be hit or miss. Sometimes they blow you out of the water and sometimes they’re entertaining but relatively forgettable. When “Guardians of the Galaxy” came out, I was reminded as to what I liked so much about many Marvel movies-they’re fun, have their compelling moments and are a great ride from start to finish. “Thor: Ragnarok” was yet another pleasant surprise that had me on the edge of my seat from both laughter and the film’s intensity.

“Thor: Ragnarok” follows the same God of Thunder, Thor (Chris Hemsworth), as he is captured and thrown into a gladiatorial ring on a foreign planet. His opponent? Thor’s old companion, the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo). The “Grandmaster,” played by Jeff Goldblum, hilariously oversees the battles and contestants. Back in Asgard, the goddess of death, Hela (Cate Blanchett), threatens all life as they know it, and Thor must fight for his freedom in order to return to his home and save it.

    I’m rarely interested in action movies or comics, I mean, graphic novels 😉 and but now I want to see this!

    “Tessa Thompson plays a kick-ass warrior who drinks a bit too much as she struggles with a bitter past.” Omg! yasssss

    Ah-ah, AH! Makes me want to pull out a sword and fight something big. And while every single line Korg uttered made me giggle, it was Banner-Hulk that stole the show for me. Even when his line was to splat unceremoniously on the ground. It was definitely a more light-hearted approach to the Marvel Universe, and totally worth it.

    Did you catch the Duran Duran artwork T-Shirt (forget name of artist and style) on Bruce Banner? All kinds of little easter eggs sprinkled throughout the film like that. I really enjoyed it, a couple of times I thought the humor was almost too much, veering away from some of the more serious aspects of the Marvel Universe (i.e. Civil War), but thoroughly enjoyed!
