There are complaints that it's not serious enough, but I disagree. There are some very high stakes underneath the jokes, Thor is very different by the end of the movie in many ways, and they already had two films to try the "serious" Thor.

^The more I think about it, I do think it was a bit too...flippant at times. There was some seriously heavy, world-shattering (literally) stuff that happened in this film, and I think the overly comedic tone was a bit too over-the-top at times. It felt like we breezed past the heavy stuff TOO quickly in some cases. That happened more at the beginning of the film. By the end I was used to the tone and along for the ride.
I did enjoy it a lot, and I MUCH prefer this approach to the mopey naval gazing of most of the DCEU films, but I would have preferred them balancing out things a bit better. I feel Guardians 2 balanced the heavy moments and the comedy better.

Just saw it yesterday.
Lots of fun, funny...the rock Gladiator with the Kiwi accent was hilarious...love that guy, lol.
Hemsworth hammed it up full blast. Cate Blanchett was awesome. I liked the Valkriye chick too. Goldblum was fantastic. Karl Urban did his thing. Heimdall was serviceable. Nice Dr Strange scenes.
The only one that sort of disappointed me was the Hulk...he almost came across as a pansy in this one. He didn't seem that powerful.
It had that GOTG vibe...with a little bit of Flash Gordon thrown in.
Loved Led Zep in both beginning and end scenes.
Fun, fun movie...sigpicComment

Yeah, I’d figured it was from the New Zealander director. I read that Korg’s accent is homage to all the Polynesian/Maori/Samoan bouncers found in every Auckland night club in town, lolsigpicComment

Finally had a chance to catch THOR: RAGNAROK last Saturday night. Gotta say, I was thoroughly entertained and loved the arena match between Thor and the Hulk (even if the Hulk was, as Hector says, powered down a bit). And while I was a bit worried about Surtur after the opening sequence, Taika Watiti made sure I was disappointed with him in the end! Far and away the most entertaining and fun of the three Thor installments.sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.Comment
