It is Director Taika Waititi’s wry touch, such as he
exhibited in last year’s wonderful Hunt for the Wilderpeople, that
makes Thor: Ragnarok succeed over most comic book-action films.
The film stands out because of its non-action scenes, where
we learn about the characters’ feelings, plus some brilliant casting with Cate
Blanchett as Hela, the villainous daughter of Odin, Jeff Goldblum as
Grandmaster, the impresario of gladiator games, and Tessa Thompson, as the
valiant Valkyrie.
The other superb ingredient is Mark Mothersbaugh’s score,
which drives the action along at a forceful pace.
Oddly, the action scenes are the least aspect of the
film. Nevertheless, Thor’s fans will
enjoy the ride.
I give Thor: Ragnarok a 4.1 out of 5.
