Review of Thor: Ragnarok (2017) by Tony1984 — 30 Jan 2018

Those who love Nordic folklore will not enjoy the latest Thor much. I imagine they will feel it borderline sacrilegious. They should keep in mind that this is a Marvel comic books production with profit in mind.

Thor is essentially a comedy with fantastical characters. In its favour, it is much much funnier than 99% of the comedies we've been forced to endure the last number of years. It's a tremendous spectacle with heaps and heaps of CGI , cosplay and in jokes. It doesn't take itself too seriously and that works here. The focus is on laughs and special effects. Purists will bleat but I think the die is cast for Thor . Jeff Goldblum's very funny comic side is on show here and will be a permanent feature for sure.
