Review of Thor: Ragnarok (2017) by Shaun B — 29 Dec 2018

Wow, I'm Impressed. I am surprised that this film is 80% improvised, because when you watch it, you wouldn't think that it is improvised. This film ticked all the boxes for me and to me, it is a masterpiece. This is the funniest Marvel movie since The Guardians Of The Galaxy. This film revived the entire Thor franchise because Thor was great and Thor: The Dark World was okay. Taika Waititi change Thor's character completely and decides to make him more light hearted and comedic instead of making him a more serious character like in the previous Thor films. The plot: Thor is imprisoned on the planet Sakaar, and must race against time to return to Asgard and stop Ragnarök, the destruction of his world, at the hands of the powerful and ruthless villain Hela.

Cate Blanchett plays the goddess of death Hela. Hela is one of the best villains in the MCU because she has a brilliant back story. This film gave us the first ever live action Hela we've ever seen before. The film also introduces the funniest MCU character since Drax, Korg (played by the director of this masterpiece, Taika Waititi). Whenever Korg is on screen, you know that you are going to get a laugh out of his jokes or the lines that he has. The Valkyrie, the sworn protector of Asgard is in it and she is played by Tessa Thompson. Tessa Thompson was very good in this movie and was a great choice to play the Valkyrie. This film even has The Incredible Hulk is in, so it stars the two strongest avengers. Mark Ruffalo role as Bruce and Hulk was one of his best performances in the Marvel Universe because he even voiced the Hulk instead of Lou Ferrigno voicing him like in the other films that star The Hulk. Clancy Brown had a sneak cameo in this. He played the cause of Ragnarok, Surtur, one of the best Asgardian villains. Benedict Cumberbatch even can back for his second time to play the sorcerer Doctor Steven Strange who Thor had to go and see to find out when his dad was, Odin ( Played by Anthony Hopkins). Jeff Goldblum is even in this film and his plays the Grandmaster.

The visual effects and cinematography was brilliant in this film, but my only problem with it is that when Thor, Hulk and Valkyrie try to get to The Devil's Anus the visual effects and cinematography was quite bad because as there was a lot going on at once you could barely see what was going on, but other than that the cinematography and the visual effects were brilliant. The action scenes in this were brilliant and were the best action sequences in a Thor film. What I didn't like about the film is that Thor is known as the god of thunder, but is defeated by electricity, it just makes no sense. Nonetheless, Thor Ragnarok is a brilliant film and if I had to sum it up in one word it would be Masterpiece. It is extremely funny and I recommend all you Thor fans out there because this film revived the franchise, so I going to give it 100%.
