Thor – Ragnarok

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

I took my wife to see this and she is not a comic book fan AT ALL! We are both 60+ seniors and we both enjoyed the movie immensely. I’m grew up on the “Silver Age” of comics, mostly DC with the occasional Spidey, Submariner, Hulk, Iron Man, & THOR.. WOR, Channel 9 in New York used to run a Marvel series back in the late 60’s and I loved ’em (You can watch them on YouTube). As a matter of fact this was the show that created the great Spidey theme song that even The Ramones covered. “Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can…” is a tune that I still sing to this day. Getting back to the subject at hand – “Thor: Ragnarock”. Chris Hemsworth is charming and extremely likeable and that is what makes this movie work so well. It’s a special something that even Downey Jr. doesn’t have. While RDJ is likeable, his charm seems to be slightly forced. It’s not as comforting as Hemsworth’s charm seems to be. I’m a hetero through & through yet I have to admit to having a wee bit of a bro-mance with CH. As a child of the 60’s & 70’s I prefer Hemsworth’s Thor with the long locks. I mean when you think of Thor, you think of the Hammer and the long blonde, Scandanavian locks but he’s so handsome he could have a freakin’ Mohawk and he would look amazing.
I’m not a huge Mark Ruffalo fan and while he has done a good job with his run of the Hulk character, when he is in the David Banner “mode” (for lack of a better term) is cerrainly the weak link of all the main character. Though it’s in the Hulk form where he really shines. The one and only unique Jeff Goldblum is as quirky and charming as always – even whilst playing a villain. As usual Tom Hiddleston’s Loki is frustrating. Though, this is not a knock on Hiddleston – on the contrary. I say frustrating only because of his likeability as an person makes you wishing he was always one of thd “good guys”. I don’t want to add spoilers so that’s all that I’ll say about Loki. Idris Elba as usual is magnificent as is Cate Blanchett, who is almost unrecognizable as Hela. She’s the actor that Streep use to be. Tessa Thompson who I became of aware of in “Creed” where her quiet sensuality almost stole that movie was another bright spot in a movie that had many.
What really pushed this movie to the top 5 of my favorite super hero of all-time – ironically – was the COMEDY! Yes, I said comedy. I went to see this weeks after it had hit the theatres so there was my wife, myself, & two guys in the theatre…an that was if! Well the four of us were belly laughing throughout the entire movie. Even during most of the many action scenes. Laughter is what will always come to mind when I think of “Thor: Ragnarock”, knee-slapping laughter.
