The hype is real!!

Rating: 9/10 (9 November 2017)

You know...The last time I saw a movie because of it's hype was Wonder Woman. Which was unbelievably god awful. After that monstrosity i swore I'd never see another movie based on good or "sponsored" reviews ever again!
I saw a trailer or two for Thor Ragnarok and thought..looks cool..looks pretty funny actually...But nah, I'll wait till I can stream it on some website for free. Hey I live in LA..going to a movie costs more than my wifi bill. Then I looked at the cast--Chris Hemsworth..a pretty boy who can actually act. Okay. Tom Hiddleston..I like the guy..and he plays Loki to absolute perfection. Okay. Idris Elba..my dude! always gotta support that guy..and looks like they actually gave him something to do..instead of relegating one of the most talented actors working right now to a featured extra role. Okay again. Cate Blanchett , while I respect her talent, has always been a bit POSH for my tastes. Not the most accessible actress I've ever seen. I always thought she would think herself above this sort of movie. However, she was great and seemed to really enjoy the role.
Then they threw in my baby Tessa Thompson. OKAY. Jeff Goldblum..playing JEFF GOLDBLUM. I was laughing the second he showed up in the trailer. And Anthony Hopkins..legend of legends. He truly is the heart of this franchise and thats made really clear in this film.
Guys..it was great. When I say it was hilarious..It was truly funny..but not in a stupid, completely misplaced way like Age of Ultron..or ANY of the other marvel movies. This director captured exactly how we communicate with our friends, family and significant others. Taika captured US! People. The Audience. He made his characters in our image..and it was amazing. I laughed, I cried, I cheered. Thor Ragnarok is exactly was this genre is supposed to be.
