Thor Ragnarok - movie review...

A couple of days ago, I went to watch 'Thor Ragnarok' directed by Taika Waititi with my younger sister and we enjoyed watching this film with some funnier moments as directed by a New Zealander especially with Taika and his brand of humour (Maori male?) and much better than I'd expected.

It was funnier because some of the scenes/script seemed to be some off the cuff or rather ad libs that were cut into the scenes and made for a less than serious movie that allowed for a few laughs and innuendoes that I wasn't sure that die hard fans would fully understand or appreciate but I sure did.

I think the funnier side started with Taiki and some of the main actors saying 'thank you' to the viewers for watching the movie even before the movie had started and at the end of the movie after the credits had rolled, a short movie addition continued so that those who left after the close of the movie missed it as it suggests a further movie continuing from this one.

Of the actual story line itself, I found it interesting in that they introduced an older sister to the two rivalling siblings and a father who wasn't as forthcoming as he had been historically so there were a few dimensions that were different including having the Hulk play an important role in the story and a Valkyrie warrior as well.

All in all, if you are an adult looking for an action movie where you can suspend your realism for a time then this will be the action movie for you or even the 'Justice League' which will be released next week in the lead up to Christmas...
