Doctor Strange felt completely shoehorned in for the sole reason that Marvel Studios thinks he should have one contact among the Avengers before Infinity War. All he does is tell Thor where Odin is, because Odin didn't leave a sticky note on the fridge.

I went to see this basically just to see more Hulk in a Marvel movie. I was a little disappointed that the movie didn't touch on the conflict between Hulk wanting to stay on a planet that adores and celebrates him, and Banner wanting to get back home. I feel like there could have been more weight to that in terms of Hulk/Banner feeling accepted. As it stands, there's no consequence to anything Hulk does in this movie and that feels like a letdown. Especially after the whole conversation of him maybe never being able to turn back into Banner once going Hulk again. Aside from that, what an entertaining movie. The rock dude and his scissor-hand friend were perfect comic relief, and the whole movie oozes with style, humor, and self awareness. Also, the end where Asgard is being destroyed is one of the most death metal moments ever shows on film.

He's the Sorceror Supreme now, no need to gently caress around. "Does something dangerous need addressing? Here's the right spell, okay off with you, goodbye."

Kurzon posted:It's a tiny purpose that could have been written out by Odin leaving a note on his fridge saying "I'm going on holiday in Norway for a while." Nah, you're forgetting what else he did. He trapped Loki because Dr. Strange is protecting the realm. So about five minutes after Loki arrives, he captures him. It shows that Dr. Strange is actively protecting Earth from big threats. It was a good inclusion.

Like, if you think about it, Dr. Strange was probably having to do a lot of Doctor Stuff on people injured during Loki's previous earthly shenanigans. It'd be almost personal for him to keep that guy contained. Or falling. For THIRTY MINUTES.

For someone who didn't get around to seeing Dr Strange like me because I'm not that into origin movies, it was a perfect intro to the movie character.

I'm really sad that the warriors 3 got chumped so loving hard. I would have at least appreciated a fight scene, or something to show SOMETHING. They've been in three movies. Uh. Also, are they dead-dead? It seems like it? Which is a shame. I also wish Sif could have gotten a mention, quelling a rebellion on another world or something.

Very good movie. Funny, colorful, great designs, a little disjointed with all the random marvel movie continuity crap but other than that a really good movie. The stupid rear end foam space outfits were, truly, amazing.

Definitely the best Thor movie by a longshot, and only not in my top 5 MCU movies because there have been so many stupidly good ones at this point, it's probably #6 for me. Only homecoming rivals it in comedy, just a solidly comedic tone throughout and then you'd get insanely funny stuff that they managed to keep out of the trailers, on top of all the funny stuff that was in the trailers. For me homecoming is ahead of it just because I enjoy Spider-man as a character more, I felt like Holland and Keaton were both knocking it out of the park in it, and it felt like a better told story overall (less CGI per minute helped there too). All the MCU movies have comedy moments in them, and both Guardians movies and homecoming kicked it up a notch and did it well, but Ragnarok just throws some huge Hulk-sized comedic punches and for me they all landed, plenty of laughs in the theater and I had to reign myself in from just laughing super-loud and ruining the theater experience for everyone. This was a fun goofy palette cleanser before everything goes to hell during Infinity War. 8.5/10 for me. Oh, and good visuals and music too, even with near-constant CGI everything was colorful and fun to look at and the synthy soundtrack fit the tone well.

Skipping the spoilers because I'm seeing it on Tuesday (next day off). I just wanted to say I love Taika Waititi's stuff and seeing Hunt for the Wilderpeople convinced my wife to go to New Zealand for our honeymoon, which was amazing.

The alien planet in this movie was bladerunner 2049 if nerf designed everything instead of The Wallace Corp & the BAWWWAAAHHHHH synths were replaced with, I'm pretty sure I heard at one point, a synth version of pure imagination from charlie and the chocolate factory (????) this movie was dope.

As a superhero movie it was as generic and beat-by-beat as they all are, who cares what character growth/pathos they have it'll just get thrown away in the next teamup, but as a vehicle for waititi's comedy and some pretty sweet cartoon fights it was excellent best line was tell her she's dreaming, best acting was matt damon, best bit was hulk when thor tried to walk out of the room

The definitely reused the whole pure imagination track for the 'who is the grandmaster' bit and then yeah I think they sampled it here and there for other scenes involving him

It's a big fun rollicking movie. Thinking about this now, the scenes I'm thinking of seem to be the scenes that got changed around in reshoots since they ended up looking different to what we'd already been shown in the trailers. I'm thinking specifically of things like the brothers finding Odin and Thor's injury in his final fight with Hela.

This film ruled. I was pretty surprised at just how funny it was. It scratched the same itch that Guardians did, and at points did it better. Loki's line after Thor gets smashed in the ring had me rolling.The only part I had any problem with, and a minor one at that, was the "your weapon doesn't define you" arc that they already walked down in Iron Man 3.

This isn't really a spoiler because of the trailers, but goons... I loved how they weaved elements of Planet Hulk into this without directly doing Planet Hulk. Its one of my favorite Marvel stories, but drat the ending is dark as gently caress. So this was a good compromise. loving  'd at Matt Damon. Goldblum's best moment was the post-credits scene. "Good revolution everybody. So, lets call it a tie..."I really loved Banner jumping out of the plane, only to land on the bridge not transformed into the Hulk. It was a joke I saw coming from the second he got up, but it still cracked me up. Someone was asking before if Hulk was permanently Hulk now. If they are mirroring the comics, at this point, Hulk or Banner basically have to let the other take over. Its possible to force a change, like you saw in the movie when he sees Nat, but outside of some shocking and major thing, the Hulk or Banner have to voluntarily let go. Also, my biggest laugh was from Korg kicking and telling the ghost to go away. And yes, Loki has the tesseract/infinity stone. The only other option is that it is floating in the debris of Asgard, which seems incredibly stupid to do since you had a shot of Loki double taking the stone. edit: I could have sworn I heard a line about Sif being off world for a mission.

Just came back from seeing it. It was a great film. I thought it was a lot funnier than GotG. I know GotG is supposed to be funny but I’ve never laughed during either one. I laughed several times during Ragnorok.

Without spoiling anything serious, I'd say the movie glosses over all the bad things Loki did in previous movies, both to the people of Asgard and Earth. He's one of their worst criminals yet Thor and Dr Strange treat him like a bratty teenager.
