Our take on Thor: Ragnarok
Taika Waititi steers this 2017 entry into brighter, funnier territory, stranding Thor on the far side of the universe and racing him against time to reach Asgard. He must stop Ragnarok, the foretold destruction of his homeworld and the end of Asgardian civilization, driven this time by a powerful and ruthless new threat named Hela. Blending action, comedy and cosmic science-fiction, it leans on colorful spectacle and a loose, playful sense of humor rather than solemn stakes. The mix suits viewers who like their world-ending adventures served with wit and energy. If you want a superhero film that's more romp than brooding saga, this one keeps things buoyant and fast.
