New Zealanders hijack Hollywood and give them a dose of "The Kiwi Way"

Rating: 7/10 (10 December 2017)

I hated the previous Thor movies. All flashy, noisy, grandiose nonsense. This Thor movie was definitely very different, almost a comedy. In fact this movie is nothing like the previous Thor movies or any of the Avenger movies.
Why?
Question: What does Taika Waititi (Director + voice of Korg), Carl Urban (Skurge), and Rachel House (Topaz) have in common? They are all New Zealanders. After the first 20 minutes of this film I was expecting Jemaine Clement and/or for Rhys Darby to show up (alas, 'twas not to be.)
But let's not forget New Zealand's blood brothers and sisters from "over the ditch." We have Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and Cate Blanchett (Hela), both from Australia.
ANZAC Spirit is alive and well in this movie!
This whole movie runs like a New Zealand-style comedy, reminiscent of Flight of The Conchords TV show or The Hunt For The Wilderpeople movie. Thor Ragnarok is in true Taika Waititi style.
Give a Maori "bro" some big bucks and some special FX people and you get "Thor: The New Zealand Experience" ... aka "Thor Ragnarok."
Personally I think Waititi stole the show with his rendition of Korg as "a Maori bouncer from K Road." (Waititi said in an interview that was the voice he based Korg on.) For those who don't know, K Road is the Red Light District of Auckland City, New Zealand.
Even Mark Ruffalo's David Banner character came across (to me) as a typical, matter-of-fact "she'll be right mate" New Zealander.
Jeff Goldblum was... well, Jeff Goldblum LET LOOSE! Great work Jeff!
And Chris Hemsworth looked like he was HAVING TOO MUCH FUN. There are scenes in this movie which are obviously ad libbed and Hemsworth is laughing for real. I would love to see the gag reel from this movie. Happiness and fun permeate this movie. It's pure "Kiwi humour."
Now to the movie?
I haven't read the comics. I watched the movie as a movie. Some of the humour was a bit out of place and the story was OK. The Special FX are fabulous and interesting. A real highlight. A surprising highlight for me was the SOUNDTRACK. What a fabulous soundtrack this movie has. Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" was a great choice for the action scenes. The other incidental music was really awesome too.
Here's the real highlight:
Hollywood should learn a lesson from this. Stop being LEFT WING SJW's and get back to telling stories that make us FEEL GOOD and SMILE and LAUGH and have a GOOD TIME. Hollywood of America is Dead. Long Live Taiki Waititi. God Bless New Zealand and "The New Zealand Way." Making Hollywood great again.
