Sorry for being missing a couple of weeks guys, essays can leave you a little burnt out for a bit. But I am back with a review of Thor: Ragnarok arguably the best Marvel (Disney distributed) film to come out since Guardians of the Galaxy, and definitely my new favourite Marvel (Disney distributed) film because no super hero film is going to beat Deadpool for me. Ok, let's get started.Synopsis time. Thor has been out of Asgard for a while now but he returns to find out that Loki is alive (This is not a spoiler as it is the trailers) and has thrown their Father onto Earth so that he can rule in Odin's place. When they find their father, they are told of the Goddess of Death and her
relation to them. As the two are about to return to Asgard and the Goddess of Death turns up and follows them to Asgard. Although, not without pushing the both of them out of the tunnel to Asgard on the way there. Thor ends up in a land of scavengers and trash, meets an old friend and makes a new one. They team up and try to go up against the Goddess of death, and I shall leave it there.
My biggest issue with this film, isn't actually with the film at all but with the trailers which have been everywhere as much as I have tried to avoid them. They tell anyone watching it the two biggest reveals of the whole film, that Loki isn't dead and that the Hulk is also in this land of trash and scavengers. These would have been awesome surprises for the audience of the film, as Loki had 'died' in the last Thor film and the Hulk had been missing since Avengers: Age of Ultron. I just think that they should have either revealed neither of them or only one because audiences would have been so thrilled that these characters where back, especially if they had been kept in the dark about who Thor's team in the film would be.
Ok, enough moaning about trailers. I know I should just plug up my hears, cover my eyes and hum real loud until they're over. Now onto why this is the best Marvel film of all time! It is visually stunning, the comedy is on point and just elevates the darker moments, and Chris Hemsworth is a beautiful human that is very nice to stare at for two hours. Seriously though, visually, outside of Chris Hemsworth, this film is absolutely stunning. The green screen stuff was really well done (unlike another Marvel film that I won't mention), and I'm actually disappointed that I didn't see it in IMAX 3D and I really don't care about 3D. Even though it was absolutely stunning visually, it didn't take away from the script which was on point from the very first line. It is a very funny film and actually like a comic book. It's very graphic and colourful but the script is snappy and witty. You won't be bored for even a moment because there is always something to keep you entertained. Plus, you can just stare at Thor and Loki and you'll have a good time no matter how bad you think it is.
Overall, this is definitely a change of pace to the dark narratives that Marvel have been doing in the Avengers narratives. In addition to this, because the film was not set on earth, apart from a few minutes here and there, they got to really shine with their use of CGI to create a masterpiece. This is the second film this year that I have found simply stunning to watch and this one is much more accessible to the masses than Blade Runner 2049 is.
