Review of Thor: Ragnarok (2017) by Wintx — 15 Nov 2017

A lot of sweat and tears went into this. And I always appreciate the hard work crews put into these productions. Effects awesome (ie: Thor/Hulk fight) - although used to hide mediocre story development.

Character building weak on all fronts (yes, even a comic book movie needs credible arcs - hasn't GOT proved this?). Acting good (for what they had to deal with in direction) Not pleased with where Marvel/Disney taking the franchise.

They get $$ hits with being humor focused (Ant Man; Deadpool; Spiderman; Guardians - 1) and now I'm getting the vibe they're going to keep milking this direction with characters that are not humor based.

Don't get me wrong, humor good, making my heroes into sitcom joke beaters is not. But I'm old school Marvel (FOOM!). I like great writing; great characters; inspiring story - even in my comic books. This Thor is now ruler of Asgaard - now that's a joke.

Oh and one more thing - I realize arena fighting plots are fairly the norm these days - but can't help like it feels ripped from a Lee/Kirby/FF storyline that was written for the Thing.
