Review of Thor: Ragnarok (2017) by Astorgh — 03 Nov 2017

Marvel clearly found their winning formula: 2 hour music videos with jokes every 30 seconds.

This could mean good and bad things. The good thing is that people are loving this movie, so it'll make a lot of money. The bad thing is, they're just making every movie the same, and people are ok with it.

The worst is that this movie had the potential to be a beautiful moving movie. But they just turned it into a snl musical sketch.

For what it's worth, not all jokes are bad. The fight scene with Hulk had actual reasons to have funny bits. But the fact that after that Hulk just turns into a buffon just ruins it.

Valkyrie was a cool character. It's satisfying and interesting to know why she acts the way she does. Hela was also well developed. And pretty dope.

The scene that stands out for me was when Hulk starts transforming into Banner. It was a very interesting sequence and I'm glad they acknowledge Black Widow.

Korg, oh my god, his humor is barely humor. It's cheap and just not funny.

But I have to be honest, despite me not liking the movie, I can't deny that people are loving it for a reason. It's just a piece of cheap (but expensive) entertainment. That's what people love to consume, and that's why this movie will succeed.
