Ragnarok in Norse legend was a serious business. It was an apocalyptic, end of times affair with mass murder and death at a genocidal level. On the other hand, Ragnarok in Marvel's world is a series of comedy scenes with zero tension, zero stakes and every emotional moment undercut with yet another witty quip. The film looks pretty and the visual effects are good, but apart from that, I'm gonna make SJW's heads explode and say this: Taika Waititi should NOT have been allowed to direct this pointless, plotless mess. He cannot do emotion in any meaningful or substantial way because he's more concerned with turning every single moment into a comedy sketch.In this film, Thor loses damn everything: his father, his friends, and his home. It should be grim; it should be an emotional rollercoaster, but instead it's a film where a powerful God-like character becomes a one-eyed clown. If you're looking for an emotional payoff for the events in this film, you actually have to wait until Avengers: Infinity War. That's not right. That's not how it should be.What's even worse is the complete waste of Mark Ruffalo's talents. You get a twice Oscar nominated actor in a movie and turn him into a useless, pointless character who plays second fiddle to a Valkyrie whose British accent sounds like Liza Minelli playing Kermit the Frog as a North Londoner.I'm not DECU fan, but in retrospect I respect Man of Steel for having quiet moments of introspection like the scene with the whale. The MCU has become solely for people with ADHD, who know nothing about how to craft a film that has substance to support the spectacle.
MCU MCU rocks. hahahaa I am so ckool. This was an introduction to Mr Thor from MCU and it was funny funny marvellos and fabulous. All of us in the theatre (there was so long a queue to get in) laughed nad laughed and we all decided to start a letter writing campaign to Mr, Disney to beg for more. What are the chacnes you will be kind and make more films of MCU? We would love it.
I agree there was a bit too much comedy. Also, Thor didn't even give a second thought to his warrior three friends who died so quickly in the movie.
Great fun, great rythme, watched it twice. You will definitely have a good time with it. It starts interesting, playing with cliches and from there it takes you from surpise to surprise.
