Ok, not as expected

Rating: 5/10 (8 May 2018)

Thor:Ragnarok was just ok for our family. We were disappointed, actually, as the reviews seemed pretty good and some of our friends liked it (though not all). It had an ok start, slow middle, and ok ending. The action could've been better throughout,. Thor (the actor) was good as usual and had some fun lines and a few good action moments. Valkyrie was NOT as good as we heard she was, just ok. Hela was another mediocre villain that showed potential but was beaten way too easily. Hulk's CGI was weird, kind of distracting. The Grandmaster's scenes were fun at times, but the planet scenes (Sakaar) were boring and uninspiring - that middle part was the slowest for my kids as they said they got bored. My wife thought the jokes were too many and made the movie less meaningful overall. All in all it was an ok rental, though we were disappointed thinking this would be much better than it was.
