It’s a movie that, to put it in terms that the film’s screenwriters might appreciate, is Thor-ly needed.
Thor: Ragnarok, the latest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is so delightfully funny that it’s almost a shame when the film reverts to its campy, melodramatic roots. Thankfully, that’s not hammered too hard.

Thor: Ragnarok is easily one of the best MCU movies, and I love the Hulk scenes!
Report
The best Thor movie. They set up the humour up to elven, add a lot of great new characters and use elements of the “Planet Hulk” storyline from the comics. To be fair if you liked the prequels this is a complete different style and feels a lot like “Guardians of the Galaxy” which is for you to decide if its a strength or weakness. For me it is a strength. The movie follows the events of “Thor The Dark Kingdom” and “Avengers Age of Ultron”. Thor is fighting to prevent the future he saw in a vision where Ragnarök started and Asgard was destroyed. However things escalated when he visits his father Odin in Asgard and the sins of the past turn up. I am a bit vague here to avoid spoiler. The story is really entertaining, has great humour and makes great use of old and new characters. It is no wonder that most people say this is the best Thor movie and also a frequent top 5 contender for the MCU. I would point out also the great humorous Stan Lee cameo. I should also clarify it has a lot of serious themes and great battles. The epic final climax is amazing and has mayor consequences. The cast is a true strength. Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston return to their roles as Thor and Loki and work amazingly well together with their great chemistry. Idris Elba as Heimdall is better than ever and he is my favourite side character in the Thor movies. Another familiar actor also returns but I do not know if naming him counts as spoiler as he was in the trailer. For the new characters they succeed in making everyone memorable and awesome. There is Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, Jeff Goldblum as Grandmaster, Karl Urban as Skruge and director Taika Waititi as Korg. All are excellent. Also they have a good antagonist with Cate Blanchett as Hela. In total we got an awesome performance by a great cast. I and almost anyone else too praise director Taika Waititi for the movie. As always the special effects are awesome. This time I also praise the costumes, sets and colourfulness. The movie has a unique style. For the soundtrack everyone I know enjoyed Led Zepplins “Immigrant Song” as its is so fitting. The rest is also enjoyable and delivers an enhancing atmosphere. Overall this was a pleasant and positive surprise. Rarely is the third movie the best in a franchise. It was entertaining from start to finish and deserved a 10/10. Bonus knowledge: The “Planet Hulk” and “World War Hulk” story line is one of the best stories of the titular character. He gets exiled, becomes a slave, liberator and saviour but a tragic events make him return to Earth for revenge. You have not seen an angry Hulk before as he will be named Worldbreaker.

The greatest trick this studio wants to pull, at this point, is to make more of the same feel either exhilaratingly fresh, or sufficiently retro-inflected to qualify as a nostalgia trip. As both, Thor: Ragnarok counts as some kind of double peak.
One of the silliest and least substantial of recent comic-book movies — a jokey, unapologetically nonsensical romp that makes “The Avengers” look like “The Godfather.”
The whole movie is a grab-bag of insanity so off-the-chain hilarious that you stick with it even when the convoluted plot goes haywire.
It’s brassy, breezy and gut-bustingly fun; unfortunately, it’s at the expense of the film’s drama and pathos.
While it’s not saying much, Thor: Ragnarok is easily the best of the three Thor movies — or maybe I just think so because its screenwriters and I finally seem to agree on one thing: The Thor movies are preposterous.
It’s a movie that, to put it in terms that the film’s screenwriters might appreciate

I like the MCU adventures that don't take place on earth. They're more colorful, interesting and fun to watch. That said, the plot is basically the same again, the comedy was really bad, and the villain underutilized, like always in those films. Some effects looked really good, some didn't. The score is actually really good for a Marvel film. I think if Ragnarok was the first Thor movie, I would've loved it. At this point in the MCU, I'm just tired of all the cliches.

I didnt like the humour of the movie: childish and full of gags. In addition they destroyed the serious parts of the story, so I never cared about the fights.
The performance was bad by many actors, also some characters were boring or annoying (Hela, Grandmaster, Valkryie). The story is simple, too.
What was good? some CGI effects were nice.

Kitsch and cringe. Full of action and shoddy humor. Extremely childish, the only MCU film which makes me agree with Scorsese, a low quality theme park. Exactly the path that cinecomics shouldn't take.
