Thor: Ragnarok, the review

Ah, the God of Thunder or is it lightning. I think it should be lightning, since well he is mostly surrounded by lightning.

Thor: Ragnarok sends the prince of Asgard on a trip that he never expected. Director Taika Waititi gives us a side of the Marvel Cosmic Universe that will make you scream of excitement. It has all the beautiful colours of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise and all the awesome characters of the Thor franchise (well some of them end up dying).

Ragnarok is exciting, entertaining and really funny. I mean really really funny, it makes all the other MCU movies look like soap operas.  Waititi completely revamped the Thor series and made the absurd character less serious.

Throw in a few awesome Loki and Hulk scenes and you have the perfect space opera comedy. New characters like Jeff Goldblum’s, The Grandmaster; Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie and Waititi’s Korg are scene stealers.

They all make loving characters that you easily grow fond of, whether it’s The Grandmasters over eccentric behaviour; Korg’s soft, but awesome voice or Valkyrie being a total badass while she’s fighting mid-air. This movie is a total hit, with few flaws

You also get amazing cameos from Doctor Strange and Odin. Idris Elba as Heimdall is another exciting part of the movie. This is one of the few MCU films that brings a memorable villain to the silver screen. Cate Blanchett’s Hela is storm to be reckoned with and Thor is the only one stupid enough to face the storm.

This movie offers breath-taking sceneries and a storyline that makes Hulk relevant again. Waititi is definitely one of the best MCU directors and this movie outshines most of the other MCU movies. I would definitely watch it over and over again. This movie deserves 9.7 out of 10.

Imprisoned on the other side of the universe, the mighty Thor finds himself in a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against the Hulk, his former ally and fellow Avenger. Thor's quest for survival leads him in a race against time to prevent the all-powerful Hela from destroying his home world and the Asgardian civilization.
