Review of Thor: Ragnarok (2017) by 43In2014 — 03 Nov 2017
The short review: Starting wonderfully with surprising cameos, links to other Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) characters, and a great Infinity Stone-esque reveal, the film peaked at the Thor vs Hulk fight (not a spoiler) in the middle and did not rise any higher in the final act.
Related media: I have seen all of the MCU films, but felt that the Thor films were never great. Thor was 3/5 and Thor 2 was 4/5.
What's it like?: Packed with surprising things, was very funny, but the final act was sort of OK, not great.
Pros: 1) The best part of the film was the Thor vs Hulk fight, particularly the part where Thor has to rediscover himself. 2) The film is super funny.
3) The film started well with surprising cameos, links to other MCU characters and a great Infinity Stones-esque reveal.
Cons: 1) The final act wasn’t as sharp, doesn’t completely make sense and wasn’t as funny. This seems to be typical of Thor films where the directors run out of ideas at some point in the films.
2) Karl Urban’s character, Skurge, was poorly written and poorly acted.
How would the the different age groups rate it?
Children: (not rated for children).
Teens: Average: Excellent.
Young adults: Excellent.
Medium age adults: Good.
Old adults: Good.
Rating: 4/5 (no half scores). It's worthwhile to pay to watch it in the cinema.
