Review of Thor: Ragnarok (2017) by Freeborn%20 I — 14 Dec 2018

The third entry in the Thor series, following the lackluster response to 2013's 'The Dark World', comes hot on the trail of Marvel's other,.

Guardians 2 and Spiderman Homecoming.

And you have no idea how happy it makes me to type out that this blows those two movies completely out of the water is.

Unlike anything that Marvel Studios has done before.

This CHAOTIC Sci-Fi action comedy should be a dark, brooding tale; Norse mythology, Ragnarok is the Apocalypse and destruction of all mankind.

INSTEAD Director Taika Watiti has managed to capture not only the panic of said pending events, with Thor being at the helm of trying to make sure this does not happen, but also forged a complete epic of both space and mythology that will keep you laughing literally from the first minute until the end credits.

I literally do not know how to desrcibe this other than a perfect blend of several different genres mixed together so well, that at times you forget you're watching a Thor/Marvel movie.

Hemsworth steals the show here, with an emsemble of new and old characters behind him, all of whom get their time to shine - bringing heart, charm and most of all laughs CONSISTENTLY through the two hours.

This shift in the storytelling of Thor has made him relevant again and quite frankly, is poised to usher in a new type of Marvel movie making - one where the audience can laugh hysterically together throughout while applauding great storytelling.

A Chaotic sci-fi adventure that is both heartfelt and funny, Thor : Ragnarok has done the impossible.

Grade : A.
