When Thor (Hemsworth) returns to his world Asgard from a successful battle against Surtur, he had believed that he had stopped the destruction of his civilization known as Ragnarok. But instead he finds his brother Loki (Hiddleston) impersonating their father Odin (Hopkins) who has been missing. They will eventually learn that he is dying and upon his death, their older sister Hela (Blanchett) will be released from prison with intentions of annihilating the people of Asgard and replacing it with her own destructive army. Once she is released she destroys Thor's hammer and sends him and his brother on the run into deep space becoming prisoners on another planet ruled by Grandmaster (Goldblum) who will pit Thor in the battle pit to fight his most prized gladiator The Hulk (Ruffalo). With time running out for Asgard, he must put aside his differences with The Hulk, his brother Loki and recruit the help of a lone warrior Valkyrie (Thompson) so that they can escape and save the Asgardian people.
Reel Talk:
I have to start by saying this movie has a lot going on in it. It's like it just bounces around from one thing to another. Is it a comedy, because it is full of joking bantering (some funny and some not) or an action super hero movie? Then Thor's hammer gets destroyed, when I thought only he and Odin had the power over it. The hammer is Thor's power. Although the comedy bantering between Thor and The Hulk gets a little corny at times, there is no denying that the battle scene is epic. And Cate Blanchett as the villainess Hela is so seductively menacing. Jeff Goldblum as the Grandmaster was also somewhat annoying in the film as well, but that is sometimes the roles that had defined him throughout his career. Overall the movie is action packed with tons of special effects, but as I mentioned tons of jokes. It is still an enjoyable movie that Marvel Comic fans definitely enjoy.
