Thor: Ragnarok (2017) Movie Review: Enthroning The God of Thunder With His Best Film in MCU

“A King is the slave of his own deeds,
These deeds decide his realm’s feet;
Realm grows stronger with the King’s lead,
If his deeds become people’s creed.”

Oracles have always been a strong part of any mythological story. These stories contain conflict between a good bother and a bad one. But when it is made in Marvel Studios, we come to know about the God of Thunder, popularly known as Thor, who deals with his corky brother, Loki. Thor has passed through the two phases of MCU. In this third phase, what director Taika Waititi has done in the land of Asgard is highly appreciable. “Thor: Ragnarok” has changed the tones of the main character with its chromatic touch of fun, action, and dulcet humor. Moreover, it has never been this much fulgurant.

Chris Hemsworth owned his kingship as Thor. He sharpened the character and became as good as he could be. By killing the Surtur, he destroyed the prophecy of Ragnarok. But out of the blue, a queen of death named Hela (Cate Blanchett) came back to rule over Asgard. The scene where she destroys Thor’s Hammer is really peculiar. Cate Blanchett as Hela is reverberant in her negative role. Tom Hiddleston as Loki has always been frustrating for Thor, and he has played this role decently.

Thor’s journey leads him to the planet of scraps, where he meets the Incredible Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) in a deadly gladiatorial fight. Mark Ruffalo, as Hulk, is funny and certainly the best supporting character in the film. With the recruited members of the Revengers, they try to save Asgard from Hela’s despotism. Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) is one of the Revengers who wants to take revenge on the queen of death. She is aggressive and a blast of action. During this whole journey, Thor reveals the true meaning of being an Asgardian.

The best part of this latest Marvel feature is the inclusion of Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant” song with the thundering entry of Thor. Taika Waititi has delivered a perfect blend of dark comedy and suitable actions without scratching the immensity of its central character. “Thor: Ragnarok” contains a huge visual effect team. This is another great thing about the film, as they have rendered the saga with their dazzling piece of work. Like “Guardians of the Galaxy,” this film is another fun-packed action venture, which is richer in terms of delivering an exciting cosmic experience with this third winning streak.

“Thor: Ragnarok” is another fruitful addition to the MCU. It expands the saga of Norse mythology with its vivid cosmic viability. The film is effectively crafted with possibly the funniest portrayal of its character and the praiseworthy plot line. Without being too conventional, it is the brisk celebration of the Thor franchise’s ascendancy. With its impressive final act, the film knocks down the genre clichés. On the whole, “Thor: Ragnarok” is a beautiful satire, and certainly, it is the best one in this mythical trilogy.
