Was a fantastic movie, in many ways what I think comic book movies should be.
I’m one of the few who felt that the previous captain america movie was just boring and without appropriate stakes, it landed somewhere between gritty and serious but still lol superheroes. And due to that I think it failed in both. Logan is a good execution on what to do when you want to be serious, and Ragnarok is great at the other end. Don’t try to go into the middle.
But yeah, give me some more of that Ragnarok stuff. No pretense, just pure fun.
Is this a safe space to say I didn’t really enjoy it all that much? My probably overly simplified opinion is that the MCU jumped the shark with this one.
I think that it’s going to be difficult for the Thor and Hulk characters to be in a less comedic movie from now on. Which might be totally fine for 99% of the movie going public.
I suspect i’m the sad individual that would have preferred the much darker version of the movie which is occasional glimpsed in the jokes.
I’m just returning to the words roots, which originally meant overseas expedition. So a vikingr would go a viking, but only after the English goofed and ascribed the verb to the noun ;)
So we finally saw the movie last night. I will admit to thinking it was all most too much humor, but it is hard to complain when 99% of it works. And the Banner jumping onto the bridge scene brought great laughter from the entire theater.
I was a little disturbed by the quick deaths of the “Warriors Three”.
And of course I left the theater wondering if I had Thor’s Led Zep theme at home. I don’t think I have that CD. Damn.
The warriors three issue was probably the most off putting thing in the entire movie. It was completely dismissive. I get that they were not planned as a major part of the movie but damn.
