Thor: Ragnarok

THOR: RAGNAROK MOVIE REVIEW

Thor: Ragnarok was undoubtedly the most loved movie from the Thor movie line-up. Along with jaw-dropping action sequences, the most important feature of the movie that contributed to its popularity among Marvel fanatics was its comedy. In previous Thor films, Thor Odinson (Chris Hemsworth) was portrayed as a serious character that was fighting to become worthy of ruling Asgard. In this movie, however, there is a whole different type of plot and it portrays a more upbeat version of Marvel films.

 

The plot of the movie revolves around Hella (Cate Blanchett), The God of Death and Thor & Loki’s sister, return and takes control over Asgard. Thor & Loki (Tom Hiddleston) are accidently transported to an unknown planet called Sakaar where Thor meets The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and a retired Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson). The planet is ruled by The Grandmaster (Jeff Goldbum) who takes joy in organizing tournaments where competitors, who are the Grandmaster’s prisoners, fight till the death. After spending some time on this planet, Thor manages to steal one of Grandmaster’s many spaceships and travel to Asgard, with Hulk and Valkyrie by his side. There they engage in battle with Hela and her army of the dead.

 

When Thor was introduced to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2011’s movie Thor, no one would’ve though that this character would bring a humorous touch to the big screen. However, Chris Hemsworth managed to excellently portray a witty, comedic and even clumsy (at times) God of Thunder and Marvel fanatics adore the character even more than before. And, of course, it is impossible to not praise Tom Hiddleston’s depiction of Loki, the God of Mischief, and Thor’s half-brother. Tom fits into this role like a tailor-made glove. There were brilliant performances all round when it comes to this movie, but these two Gods take the cake.

 

Thor: Ragnarok was no doubt a brilliant film on its own, containing all the features of a classic Marvel movie that makes viewers want to watch over and over again. But in 2022, most of the hype is circulating around the Thor movie that is yet to be released. Thor: Love and Thunder is the fourth Thor movie and the one that appears to have caught the most attention from fans. It is set to release on July 7th, and the two trailers for this film have gotten everyone super excited. It is set to be the best and most awaited Thor film in the MCU.
