Review of Thor: Ragnarok (2017) by Peter J — 30 Dec 2018
A fun-filled ride which subverts expectations in all the RIGHT ways.
This is probably my favourite Marvel movie, definitely in the top three. Thor used to be kindof bleak and serious, probably to distance him from the cartoonish version in the comics, but the character works tremendously in comedy and Hemsworth certainly brought his A-game to the movie set.
The first time I saw the movie introduce Valkyrie I facepalmed a little, thinking she would be the typical Hollywood woman stereotype of dominating men in every way, then she fell off the landing pad and it was so effing funny and disarming. Valkyrie is strong and independent without disparaging men, which is very rare in movies these days.
It's sad that Ragnarok will likely be the last Thor movie, just as the series started to hit its stride.
