Movie Introduction
Thor Ragnarok is the 3rd installment in the Thor series that is part of the greater connectivity of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). Newcomer director to the MCU; Taika Waititi takes the helm on this next chapter. This also serves as a partial Incredible Hulk film as Disney does not have the distribution rights to make a solo Hulk film.
MPAA Rating/Content
Thor Ragnarok is rated PG-13 like every other MCU film for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and brief suggestive material. I'm a little surprised that language is not included in their rating because it sure seemed like much more language was said by Thor and Loki than I remember in previous films. No F-bomb in this movie, however. This is essentially a mashup of the worlds created in previous Thor films, and also a bit of flavor from what Guardians of the Galaxy has given us.
My Rating: 7.5/10
*What I Liked
One thing that stands out in this and if you've seen the trailers is the use of color. I would say that this is the most vibrant and colorful MCU film to date. It's very visually appealing, and different. Not since School of Rock have a seen Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin used so perfectly. It fits so well in with the Norse mythology that I'm surprised it hadn't been used already. As a possible conclusion to the Thor series this does have a decent trilogy closer while still leaving things open for future films.
*What I didn't Like
At times I felt that they overdid it a bit with the humor. There was practically a joke every 5 minutes. While I do appreciate and enjoy the comedy in these Marvel films I also want a fair amount of seriousness when it comes to these characters. It was often hard to take the movie seriously because everything was just one big joke. I'm a little tired of the Loki is bad, we can trust him now, oh wait he betrayed us again storylines. I feel like they did this in both the first Avengers movie and Thor The Dark World. It happens yet again in this, and I sure hope it is the last time.
