Movie Review: Thor: Ragnarok

THERE ARE SOME SPOILERS IN THE REVIEW.

The last film from Marvel I have watched is Spider-Man: Homecoming which focused on the journey of a friendly neighbourhood teenager who tried to prove himself worthy after Tony Stark confiscated his suit that brought and enhanced his ability. Today, I watched the latest entry titled Thor: Ragnarok which continued the journey for the God of Thunder and the rest of the familiar faces, except this time, his journey would require him to further realise his potential without the hammer he is famously known for carrying.

Thor: Ragnarok proved Marvel to be able to carry on its tradition of giving us incredible films with several exceptions, however this film has exceeded its levels and brought a new kind of perspective outlook, appearance from the previous films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Initially Thor franchise seemed either dull, uninteresting or supposedly does not attract audience to consider as a favourite unlike other heroes who frequently dominate the screen over the past few years, Thor: Ragnarok managed to bring in more developed, more likeable characterisation towards the characters and somehow this latest film from the studio seems to excite us on the scale likely similar to Wonder Woman in terms of fighting choreography and the right soundtrack which elevates the warrior-gladiator feel to the film structure.

First, I like this overall appearance of Thor: Ragnarok. It comes to you with a word stylish and served the audience the handful amount of cool moments which highlighted something you would not expect from Thor franchise. As such, the film got me blown away because I sure was excited and stunned by how much effort was paid attention to bring the film alive, colourfully make us simply enjoyed the journey with Thor and the rest of the familiar faces. Secondly, the interaction between Thor and Loki, and Thor and Hulk, were my favourite in the whole film. I have waited long enough to see more funny moments of these characters and I liked how this whole revamping image of the Thor franchise even managed to bring them together with funny moments done on point and gave me a good laugh. Lastly, the fighting at the beginning and towards the ending were on point. With the inclusion of Led Zeppelin’s Immigrant Song, these fighting scenes have been the highlight to me in the cinema because they were delivered with such refreshing feeling to the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe and have exceeded my expectations for the film, worth remembering and carried out effortlessly with such boldness and warrior spirit.

In conclusion, Thor: Ragnarok exceeded my expectations in the cinema and honestly, I felt mind-blown by its action sequences, cool and funny moments, and the whole new revamping of the franchise which has knocked down several Marvel films released in the past few years. Unlike the previous two films in the Thor franchise, the film was both exciting and memorable. If you were to ask me whether I was being biased or not, maybe yes to certain degree but Thor: Ragnarok sure did brought some joy to my cinema experience on the Saturday afternoon, and hopefully it will be the same for you as well.

Ratings: 9/10
