It’s a movie that, to put it in terms that the film’s screenwriters might appreciate, is Thor-ly needed. Read full review

Thor: Ragnarok is by far the most unusual of the Marvel movies – a crazy, colorful, ambitious, hilarious ride through the cosmos – even surpassing the Guardians of the Galaxy movies as the former holder of that title. And it’s by far the funniest. Read full review

This one is probably my favorite, being the most unlike the others. Read full review

This is a close-but-no-cigar movie, but so enjoyable for the most part, and so modest in its aims, that its disappointments aren’t devastating. I’d watch the first 90 minutes again anytime. Read full review

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.” Read full review

The movie is fun enough, and Waititi shows enough moxie and goofy wit throughout, that instead of feeling glad that he’d been hired to direct the movie, I felt a little sad that he had to bother at all. Meaning: hopefully, Ragnarok will be a big hit and will write Waititi a blank check to do whatever flight of prickly whimsy he wants to do next. For that, it was probably all worth it.

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. Read full review

The third installment in the Thor trilogy is by far the best one. It's the most fun movie of the year, hilarious but also epic, filled with incredible action sequences, stunning visual effects and a powerful cast.

Thor Ragnarok by far surpasses every expectation of any Thor film. The film has everything you could want to continue the MCU with action,heart, and of course comedy.

The film has everything you could want to continue the MCU with action,heart, and of course comedy. Thor Ragnarok is a well structured action packed cleverly funny film for everyone to enjoy. The entire cast puts on great performances and the journey of Thor here is the best of the films. However it does not fit well for new comers who have not seen previous marvel adaptions. Another issue is that Thor Ragnarok's development of the villain "Hela" could have been much better fleshed out. Other than that Thor Ragnarok exceeds all of the Thor films by far, and is a hilarious, action packed, visually pleasing adventure to add to the MCU.… Expand

A great spin-off, in my opinion, Thor is as awkward as ever and the story was more alien based which is a nice change of pace for the MCU.

If you expected too much, then prepare to be disappointed. No epic battles with the valkyries, no Fenrir eating everything that remains, and no Loki bringing death to Asgard.

I'll explain more detailed below, but keeping it in short words, Thor Ragnarok is not only one of the worst MCU movies, but it tracends beyond into one of the worst Marvel movies.

Is oneI'll explain more detailed below, but keeping it in short words, Thor Ragnarok is not only one of the worst MCU movies, but it tracends beyond into one of the worst Marvel movies. That tracends into one of the worst superhero movies, while also one of the worsi comic-book movies ever. Is one of the worst things the genre has to offer. Is it worth seeing? No, I'll explain my opinion.

Have you ever heard the slang "jumping the shark"? Is a slang used to describe a plotlines, that somehow are too stupid to be believable. Thor Ragnarok turns every character into a cartoon over-the-top parody of it's former self. This movie jumps the shark at every chance, so much in fact. It feels more like a Saturday Night Live promotional-parody-sketch than an actual movie.

And while yes, there are great parody-sketches, I'm obviously complaining because the movie feels like the worst kind of parody-sketch. Which at worst consist of a 30 second joke prolonged for 5 minutes. However, this movie is like an unfunny 5 second joke prolonged for 2 hours. Is pure pain, none of the jokes land. It feels like all the worst internet 9-gag memes pasted together.

The comedy is completely blind, completely deaf to the events that are happening in the plotline. People may be dying and the movie is doing some of the worst jokes ever. Not even Care Blanchet can save this. Nothing has consequences, and everything is overlooked for the sake of the next joke. The worst joke is uttered by the CGI character played by director Taila Waiti, a rock made character that looks like Fantastic 4's member the Thing, but this version is stupid. He jokes when Thor's planet Asgard explodes. Jack Kirby, who drew Thor's comics was sad that people didn't took his life work seriously, he would had hated this movie. Is like Batman and Robin. The second Thor movie was so bad, I thought nothing could be worse and yet this movie is worse.

Trying to remember it to write a review, is painful. Chris Hemsworth is no longer playing Thor, he is just playing himself as class clown, he is definitely the worst actor of the Original Avengers, the other worst one is Mark Ruffallo's Bruce Banner, whom I'm not even sure what he is supposed to be doing. Is a mess. The movie doesn't know what to do with Loki, he is sorta just there like Hulk. Everything is just sorta there, whenever something dramatic is gonna happen is all ruined by another I'll placed joke.

And I don't hate humor in films, nor Tex Avery like humor in live-action. Rogger Rabbit, The Mask, Deadpool, Space Jam. Taika Waititi lands some jokes on Jojo Rabbit, but here he misses every single one, humor is so painfully bad that the prospect of hearing again, any of this jokes, truly terrify more than most horror films. This the worst Marvel MCU comedy at it's worst.

All those are great, and fun. This simply is the opposite.… Expand
