An enjoyable movie with good humor and action, but nothing much deeper than that

Rating: 6/10 (22 April 2018)

I totally get the love for Ragnarok - it was super fun and respite from the dark, gritty movies in the MCU. I do think it was effective in being much lighter, and it was genuinely quite funny, with great visuals and good action sequences. While there was nothing glaring that made the movie bad, there wasn't much development of characters or themes and little creativity in the plot. Bringing Hela in was really cool, but she was never anything more than a token evil power-hungry person. I love Bruce's struggles with his Hulk side, but why he went to Sakaar, why he was the Hulk nonstop for 2 years, and how they brought him out were all poorly explained. Plot was pretty rote and unremarkable, it was just more fun and easy than the previous Thor movies. Still not a really good movie, but a passable and enjoyable one.
