Review of Thor: Ragnarok (2017) by Ginak — 06 Nov 2017

If you don’t usually go to see Marvel films but you saw, like I did, that this one got good reviews, be warned. This is a juvenile movie, and I say this as someone who often enjoys films for children.

This one is loud and colorful and silly (forget anything close to wit). And you will probably have children crawling over you to go to the bathroom every half hour or so and buy food since they may be as bored as you are.

But I am grading this not on my tastes, but on its merits as a movie. It has a coherent plot (more or less) and the dumb jokes are at a minimum. It is full of A-list actors who keep their faces straight and don’t camp things up.

It is loud and colorful, although I wasn’t too impressed with the special effects. So purely as a movie, it is a decent job. Just be warned that if you are not into Marvel or are older than six, you may be very bored once you’ve identified all the famous actors and the action takes on a repetitive pattern of danger – danger overcome – danger -- etc.
