REEL DEAL: Thor Ragnaork REVIEW


I was originally not a Thor fan, but this iconic superhero played by Chris Hemsworth eventually became one of my favorite avengers film. This third installment of series starring the god of thunder takes on a different ambiance as it shifted from the gloomy theme of Thor: The Dark World to a hilarious yet pivotal turning point with Thor: Ragnarok.

Just a few months after Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 which is banks on comedy to capture its audience, it was with this approach that Ragnarok was featured in its trailers. Since they do happen in the vast space, it seems fitting to align themselves towards their theme and would gravitate both of the movies together.

As Ragnarok means the end of the world, a new god is introduced into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and her name is Hela played by Cate Blanchett. As the goddess of death, she is really a foe to be feared who could bring Asgard to ruins. Thor in the meantime find himself in a odd predicament where is made a warrior like gladiators.

Taika Waititi directed this film which is said to be his first hollywood movie. As a comedian himself, the comedic timing was on cue despite some are recurring jokes. It was really hilarious and made use of the outer space realm to introduce more alien life rather than focusing more on Earth. 

Thor: Ragnarok stars Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett, Idris Elba, Jeff Goldblum, Tessa Thompson, Karl Urban, Mark Ruffalo, and Anthony Hopkins. Showing in cinemas  on October 25.

Deliberation time kids! 

Show summary in 3 lines: Bossy Bossy Baby

Technical Effects: 4 out of 5 stars (Colorful like Guardians, yet it also has an artistic approach in some scenes)

Plot: 3 out of 5 stars (Was actually looking for more plot leading to infinity war)

Acting and Actors: 4 out of 5 stars (Cate Blanchett is wicked here!)

Pros:  Humor, Hela, Space plot for the MCU, avengers cameo

Cons: disappointing end credits 

Music and Soundtracks:  5 out for 5 stars (The music was more better than GOTG Vol 2)

Overall: Rating 4.5 out of 5 stars (I agree this is best Thor movie, aside from its comedic nature, because it unlocks the potential of the series which goes beyond the seriousness of space with its rocky and dangerous planets)
