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

The best of all three Thor movies (which isn't much).

To cut the review short, if you're a fan of the comics then don't bother, but if you aren't into the comics then it might be enjoyable.

Pros.

-Cate Blanchett is great as Hela.

-Loki is also surpisingly endearing.

-The Hulk.

-Good fight scenes.

-The comedy has it's mmoments.

-Clumsy Thor is quite likable -Thor vs Surtur was great.

-Heimdall is badass.

-Subtle nods to the comics.

Cons.

-The drama is overshadowed by the comedy and comes out as forced due to the lack of build up.

-No suspense.

-Inconclusive fights.

-Korg and Miek was turned into gags.

-No Caeira or Hiroim (which means no Skaar or World War Hulk).

-Planet Hulk was butchered to fit into Ragnarok's(The movie) comedy.

-No Hulk unbreaking scene.

-Valkyrie does wierd head bobbing.

-Tessa Thompson doesn't look good as Valkyrie.

-Skurge.

-Very lackuster story (especially when compared to the source material).

-Comedy is crammed into every inch of the movie, even during dramatic scenes.

-Sakaar isn't the desert badlands it's supposed to be.

-Too sci-fi for both the source arcs (Thor 80-85 and the Planet Hulk arc).

-The comedy, while quite funny, is of the lowbrow kind.

If you're wondering why I gave it a 2, it's because I'm rating it based on how much I enjoyed it.
