Review of Thor: Ragnarok (2017) by Brimbeeno — 12 Nov 2017

Any sense of drama or suspense is sacrificed for the sake of the joke. Thor Ragnarok weaves together two almost completely unrelated plots, The Contest of Champions and Ragnarok. The movie dwells on the Contest of Champions subplot for so long that the imposing doom of Asgard isn't developed or taken seriously.

Jokes are predictable, the movie serves very little point as far as plot, and characterization of people like Thor and Bruce Banner are lost to comedic clowns. Thor Ragnarok is a light-hearted fun time if you don't think about it too much, but really it's just forgettable.

Thor isn't a terrible movie, but it's not good either.
