Hilarious

Rating: 8/10 (12 June 2018)

"Thor: Ragnarok" (2017) is a comedic action adventure about a Thor, the God of Thunder, played by Chris Hemsworth, as he tries to return to his home planet after being imprisoned on planet Sakaar. He fights to stop Ragnarok from occurring and defeat the villainous Hela, played by Cate Blanchett. This film is not the best Marvel Universe film I have seen, but it is still great and tremendously hilarious. With exception to most of the action scenes, every corner has a touch of comedy riddled in the storyline. Most of the special effects in the film are spot on, but when they aren't, it is very noticeable. The main storyline is of this film is unmistakable, but the little snippets for the supporting cast help to build the overall back story. Director Taika Waititi did an amazing job fitting those sequences in the film and allowing the comedy to breath where ever possible.
I thought the acting was outstanding. Nothing seemed forced by any of the characters except for the early scenes by Volstagg, played by Ray Stevenson. The scenes following his time as gate keeper felt smoother, like he had grown more into the role. As with many of the Marvel films, the landscapes looked very enticing with all the vibrant colors. Overall, this film is great, and I recommend at least one viewing to those who enjoy action with a serving of comedy.
