Fun Fact, I'm birthday buddies with Tessa Thompson!

I can't wait to see this. I only get to go the movies ~2 times a year and I save it for big loud fun movies.

 

[metsallica]

Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but is there a UK equivalent to Fandango/Flixster etc? I'm going to be in London next week and want to catch Thor but I can't find a good theater repository (movietickets.co.uk isn't great). Hoping for a Friday night showing in the area around the British Museum. Alternatively, can someone recommend a great theater over there? No 3D. Do you guys have Dolby Cinema or 2D IMAX? Totally at a loss here!

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I liked Winter Soldier (apart from dumb CGI finale)

Still don't get why people say this...most of the cg action (helicarriers destroying each other) happened in the background of the main conflicts -Steve vs Bucky and Widow/Fury confronting Pearce. The helicarriers crashing into the Potomac was the aftermath.

It's still one of the best, most emotional climaxes in the MCU.

"I'm with you...till the end of the line."

Movie is perfect from start to finish.

 

[X05]

It even has a good soundtrack! A Marvel movie! With a good Soundtrack!

Plenty of Marvel movies have great soundtracks, so I take it you are confusing with them being used terribly in the movies themselves and not the actual quality of it.

 

[AlfredX1990]

Not bad, of course it doesn't come close to the masterpiece that's Thor 2: The Dark World, but not bad

 

[Currygan]

Meh. All this talk about how hilariously funny, joke fueled, straight up comedy it is dampens my excitement a great deal

 

[Soldiussnaku]

When that movie does well I'm walking in the thread like this

Haha my man, I'll be alongside you.

As for Thor, well that's based godamn Taika Waititi for you, what we do in the shadows was a fantastic comedy, so when he took the reins of Thor I knew he'd made a great comedy/action/superhero film. So glad it delivered.

 

[Frostinferno]

It's Waititi-style humor though. It's different than what you get in something like Guardians.

 

[Timu]

It's about damn time Thor has a great movie, in fact Phase 3 has been amazing so far.

Funny you should mention that, my birthday is on the same day as Zoe Saldana's (and yes, I have Gamora in one of my MvCI teams).

 

[mordecaii83]

Wow, these reviews sound amazing! I think this is my most anticipated movie right now.

 

[Metalmarc]

100% on the Tomato, for People who care for that sort of thing, I don't (I like some of the movies that are rated low on there)

I need to watch What we do in the shadows

 

[xxracerxx]

I need to watch What we do in the shadows

Watch Hunt for the Wilderpeople first and foremost.

 

[Alienfan]

I'm glad to hear it leans completely in the direction of comedy rather than drama, I don't think trying balancing the two tones worked at all for Guardians 2.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Movie is sitting at 100% on RottenTomatoes with an average of 7.7 using a total of 31 reviews. Some shit is uuuuup.

Uh... care to explain what you mean?

 

[Glass Rebel]

Uh... care to explain what you mean?

for your own sanity

 

[Shaneus]

The soundtrack is "Megadrive-ish"? Thank you, Mothersbaugh!!

 

[Timu]

It's no longer at 100%!

 

[ZeoVGM]

I mean, I realize it's a troll. I'd just love to hear him actually go down the conspiracy theory route.

That would jumping the shark, even for him.

Honestly, a fun Thor movie is all I could've asked for, so I can't wait. Seeing it at the Dutch IMAX premiere tomorrow night!

 

[Litan]

Critic Consensus: Exciting, funny, and above all fun, Thor: Ragnarok is a colorful cosmic adventure that sets a new standard for its franchise -- and the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

It's really hard to make a good 100% serious superhero film because most superhero plots are inherently ridiculous.

 

[7Th]

Heh, the rotten review had actually been there all along. It's Variety's, it used to be listed as fresh.

honestly yeah. i want to see him explain it because a 7.7 100% with a low review amount is not that bizarre.

 

[Currygan]

Indeed, but striking a balance is definitely feasible. Plus, i dont like how the MCU treated Thor, like, at all

Thirsty?

I should count how much alcohol she drinks in the movie lol

That's a pretty well-cut spot; the Ragnarok marketing has been spot on.

Is that music from the soundtrack?

Nah, it's the track from the longer trailer.

This might be used for I dunno

This might be used in spider related threads.

This peanut butter has too much peanut butter in it.

Okay I'm done.

 

[CloudWolf]

People are disappointed this is a straight up comedy? You should be happy, Taika is a master of comedy.

Also, it's pretty much the only reason I'm interested in this. Thor is by far the least interesting main character in the MCU, but Taika's style of comedy is just the greatest.

 

[xxracerxx]

Okay I'm done.

I didn't realize the Terminator was in this. Ha, fantastic.

Spoiler

Yes, I know she is in all his films.

Exactly how I feel. I'm only excited for this because Taika's involved.

Pretty sure they were selling it as a buddy-cop movie from the get-go. So this is delivering on that. Which makes sense:

'Cause it's a comedy.

[neoanarch]

Iron Man 3 is quite clever too, more then people give it credit for IMO.

People just need to stop thinking of it like a Marvel movie and realize it's another RDJ+Shane Black flick. Its the most underrated comic book movie.

 

[#1 defender]

I'll definitely watch this in cinema, but I'm a bit disappointed that the humour seems to be so prevelant considering it's a movie about Ragnarok. I think The Winter Soldier hit the nail on the head when it came to balancing humour and seriousness (Spider-Man was pretty good at it too. Really good actually).

Waititi had his own interpretation of Ragnarok while making this film:

A lot of people want to see Ragnarok and know what it means; but, to me, Ragnarok means stripping down the establishment and then building it up in a new way. ‘Ragnarok’ is what we’re doing to the character and to the franchise and to the story.
