Entertaining in a stupid way but ok watch. But you can throw the first 2 thor movies in the garbage because they don't match at all. And please give Loki a rest.....
Some funny moments but the humor does hurt the movie in a way that you never feel involved or feel danger for the characters.
I think I've finally hit critical mass when it comes to Marvel movies, there are just too many characters, locales and storylines that it all seems like alphabet soup now. Ragnarok is a strange Marvel film in that it is supposed to be somewhat (serious?) and yet the insane amount of gags and jokes inserted into almost every line of dialogue is nauseating at times. It creates this unbalance of the viewer not being able to take it seriously even when major things are happening.
Cate Blanchett is ok, but Hela is a very one sided villain with virtually no development. Seems like there just wasn't time for any with all of Thor's misadventures. Dr. Strange seemed shoehorned in, there was no reason for him to be here except for added comedy and to fulfill the mid-credits bonus scene from Strange's movie.
My wife fell asleep towards the end. When she woke up during the credits, she asked, "What happened with the bowling alley and the puppy?" After asking her some follow-up questions, I realized her sleep-addled brain mistook the Bifrost Bridge for a bowling lane and Hela's wolf for a cuddly puppy.
Entertaining and original, yet still disappointing.
It's a fun action comedy, but I don't think Ragnarok, the epic of the Norse Gods battle that brings about the end of the world should be told in the format of a comedy, even if it's the Marvel comic version. It just doesn't fit the story - to the viewer the events seem trivial and inconsequential, while to the story's characters they should be sinister and devastating, and yet they seem to share the audience's light-heartedness.
Why is everyone complaining that they didn't get enough feels out of this movie? C'mon guys, its an Marvel Superhero movie - you're supposed to kick back and have some fun.
Thor Ragnarok has some great jokes (and comedy cameos), amazing set pieces, and justifies my life-long love for the Hulk. It's also the best performance Chris Hemsworth has been allowed to give as Thor (both in terms of comedy and drama). But it's TOO funny for its own good. There are some important, epic and tragic things happening in this film, and in nearly every case, the punch to the gut I should have been feeling was undone by a great big joke slapped in front or in the middle of it. I could easily point to the second Guardians of the Galaxy for a film that gets that balance right. Similarly, the political satire many have been raving about, I feel is hidden under too much humor to register properly, the most indulgent of which comes from the character played by the director himself. Don't get me wrong, Ragnarok is hugely entertaining, but it ultimately lacks a stable emotional core.

Mi è sembrato di vedere una puntata di Dragon Ball Z o di Dumbo doveComunque piacevole ed abbastanza ironico (ma non troppo).

It's funny but marvel is handling Thor the wrong way. It should be more serious and not funny. I don't like it because of this.peterskb45

Found it to be one of the most enjoyable Marvel movies lately.252
I didn't like the auto-tune hulk voice. That aside, I had lots of fun watching this movie! This is what I feel a Marvel movie should be like.crazy_bitch

The entire middle act of this painfully obvious movie could be omitted and we'd have the same film.What a waste of digital space.
