Plots(1)
Thor is imprisoned on the other side of the universe without his mighty hammer and finds himself in a race against time to get back to Asgard to stop Ragnarok—the destruction of his homeworld and the end of Asgardian civilization—at the hands of an all-powerful new threat, the ruthless Hela. But first he must survive a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and fellow Avenger—the Incredible Hulk! (Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)

Colorful, funny and also strangely fateful. Thor has finally found his feet and he’s just the powerhouse that his solo movies needed. Waititi packed the movie full of his unreal director’s individuality which overturns genre rules on a level similar to Guardians of the Galaxy (not always better, but he isn’t afraid to take risks). The childish photos suit the videogame atmosphere and the newly built planets. Inspiration from Planet Hulk is obvious, just the heroes have swapped roles. Great one-liners, ingenious action scenes (the hammer finally has its say) and playful. Cate is real foxy in this movie and her acting is great, although she doesn’t get much room to display her skills. Incredible care is devoted to supporting characters (the theatre scene) and Korg the crusher shines whenever he is in shot. Ragnarok can’t stand alone, but at the same time it didn’t seem like the final part of a trilogy – it’s too high-spirited, but still, it’s the best movie about Thor that we’ve seen on the silver screen yet.

The Thunder Emperor has a special place in my viewer's heart and his first adventure remains one of the best experiences not only within the universe but also in comic book adaptations in general. While the critical community has issues with all the parts, Thor's trilogy remains the most balanced series in the MCU for me. No matter who took it on and genre-wise, from romance to drama to fantasy, it always amazed me. And I am amazed for the third time because it moves away from the leading love story, isn't afraid to eliminate familiar characters, yet still walks regally towards the highest rating. It breathes all the ingredients of the fantasy genre, adding unquestionably the best action in the series. Not a few minutes pass without me bursting into laughter, and Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston clearly embody their characters. Something tells me that Thor: Ragnarok is the end for the classic Thor, but I'm glad the story ends so triumphantly.

After all the embarrassing and serious stories about saving the world, or even the universe, Marvel finally excels at what it does best: a comic book comedy caper. It’s a tad worse than the first Avengers, but the juicier and snappier humour and the great characters (Cate Blanchett with antlers and a painted Jeff Goldblum) are a hit. What is absent, however, is a balanced group of superheroes where everyone has their own. Even so, it's damn catchy, and every time the spoiler from the trailer played, the audience in the cinema giggled with satisfaction, quite rightly so.

I loved Marvel a couple of years ago, but lately I've gotten tired of it and am becoming allergic to infantile, colorful CGI mess for elementary school kids. After Doctor Strange or Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Thor isn't much different and it's basically the same old same old with just different heroes. I can praise the opening action sequence and the final very brief bridge carnage accompanied by Led Zeppelin, which was perfect, but the rest went over my head. I didn't laugh even once, there is a lack of jokes and the humour consists more of scenes where someone falls on the ground or breaks something – I guess I'm too old for this – plus there are a lot of annoying characters. Loki got on my nerves, Karl Urban was completely useless, Jeff Goldblum gave the worst performance of his career, Hela lacked space and I didn't even enjoy the character of Thor himself. The action is mostly okay, but there wasn't enough of it to keep me sufficiently entertained. I couldn't even avoid the deaf passages, so for me one of the weakest, most confusing and most infantile Marvel movie. A mix of Star Wars and Power Rangers. I hope Avengers gets darker, otherwise I can't take it anymore. 60%

Thor: Ragnarok is an absolutely mainstream movie that brings the child-like elements of Star Wars into Thor’s world,
while its costumes and makeup make it more colorful than The Fifth Element. But I didn’t really want Thor to go in
this direction, as 70% of its runtime is filled with situational, slightly infantile humor that doesn’t address any plot
points. Which doesn’t mean that the masses who adore Guardians of the Galaxy are not going to have a great time.
And that seems to be the whole point of the movie.
