Director Taika Waititi takes on a whole new approach to the Marvel cinematic universe. With hilarious one-liners and references to previous movies, ‘Thor Ragnarok’ definitely tops the previous ‘Thor’ movies.
I love a good superhero movie but the witty comedy; amazing soundtrack, incredible special effects and enthralling action scenes really topped other Marvel films for me. Despite previous conflict between brothers Thor and Loki, the two work together in order to save Asgard from their rival and sister portrayed by Cate Blanchett. Loki continues to scheme against his brother despite agreeing to help him multiple times, their sibling rivalry is increasingly funny throughout the film.
I really enjoy how the Marvel films allow different directors to take a new approach to each movie, as it is incredibly interesting to see the different director’s approaches to each film. The first two films in the Marvel series of ‘Thor’ were deeply revolved around action and there was much less character development. I thought Thor had far better character development in ‘Thor Ragnarok’ in comparison to the previous movies as he deals with far more complex issues and is far less of an arrogant superior god, but instead a warrior and a leader.
