Something for your family. Nothing more and nothing less.

Rating: 6/10 (13 December 2017)

I saw this movie more than a month ago, and I really hope I wasn't the only one who walked out of the hall both, in-splits and dissappointed. As a guy who grew up reading comic-boks, Ragnarok was one of my favourite storylines along with Flashpoint and Civil War. But how does a studio like Marvel combine stories like Planet Hulk and Ragnarok, and still come up with his movie?
The movie's color scheme reminded me of GotG, and was rather out of place with the "Revengers". Oh, how I hated that joke! There was no forced humor in this movie because of the way that the MCU has been constructed (cue the shawarma scene). But as a plot point, i'm definitely tired of the taking over the universe thing. It works for Thanos and Darkseid, but not Lady Death. She could have a brilliant characters arc, but the writers really lack imagination.
My rating for this movie is mainly for the actors, their efforts, and KORG. Now that's what I call a humourous character. There wasn't a single second where he was on screen that I wasn't laughing. On a more serious note, I want to start a petition where all Stan Lee cameos are replaced by this man. However, I'm afraid Thanos kills him at the start of Infinity War. Chris Hemsworth is a naturally funny person, and Mark Ruffalo can nail all aspects of his character. There's nothing we can say about Tom Hiddleston's performance that hasn't been said before. Jeff Goldblum plays a potentially gay brother of Taneleer Tivan, and his character only fails in depth. Cate Blanchett and Karl Urban are the only ones who don't wow us. I most definitely hated the over-dramatic death of Karl Urban's Skurge.
All in all, I believe that the entire movie is only passable but definitely something the family can watch and enjoy.
