“The Guardians of the Galaxy movies, Spider-Man: Homecoming and even Ant-Man struck an enjoyable balance between the absurd and the serious that Ragnarok just doesn’t quite nail.”įor the BBC’s Nicholas Barber, the problem with the movie is that “it’s all so bubbly and inconsequential that it can feel as if you’re watching a hugely expensive sitcom episode. “The adventure leans hard into the campy Flash Gordon vibe and slapstick humor, so much so that when the third act save-the-world stuff comes, it doesn’t feel completely earned,” he noted, comparing it to other Marvel features. “The price of this irreverence is the possibility of taking anything that happens all that seriously – even the potential destruction of the Norse gods’ home (that’s not a spoiler either: it’s the title of the movie).”
“Comic-book movies have spent a long time striving to be taken as serious, grownup entertainment but Thor: Ragnarok is almost an admission that you can’t play this material straight,” wrote The Guardian‘s Steve Rose. If anything, the movie might be too enjoyable, with a number of critics noting that the fun undercuts the dramatic tension that the film - about a threat to destroy Thor’s home of Asgard - requires. Try to fit it into an established at your peril, but roll with this and you’ll discover not only a top-tier addition to the MCU, but one of the most flat-out enjoyable comedies of the year.” Similarly impressed was James Dyer of Empire, who wrote, “Like a cosmic fever dream, Ragnarok is a disorientating cocktail of riotous color and batty antics that seem almost unreal after the fact. “ Ragnarok is the child of confident filmmaking and understanding of what the Thor franchise could have always been,” he wrote, adding that the movie “sets the new standard by which the entire MCU will have to adhere to, including the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War. Ragnarok is an intense space opera that genuinely cares about every character having a journey and doesn’t waste a second of screen time on anything artificial.”
I’m a sponge, researching.”Īnd it shows.Polygon‘s Brock Wilbur was equally won over. "I thought, ‘I can do that, I’ll bet!’ I’m working on my part every day. "He’s a hedonist, a pleasure-seeker, an enjoyer of life and tastes and smells,” Goldblum told Empire last summer. He then began to devise his own types of tournaments and contests, challenging various opponents to games of skill and chance for high stakes. He has traveled throughout the known universe studying many civilizations’ forms of games and play to the point of mastering them. The Grandmaster has spent his extraordinary long life in pursuit of amusement through the playing of games. Goldblum is making his Marvel Cinematic Debut in Thor: Ragnarok playing the Grandmaster, “one of the oldest living beings in the universe.” (Thanks, Marvel wiki.) Can we talk about Jeff Goldblum’s look, please? Jeff Goldblum as the Grandmaster in Thor: Ragnarok. OK, now that that’s out of the way, let’s get to the part we’re all here for. “It felt like a rebirth for me as the actor but also as the character.” To recap: Thor has short hair now and it looks good on him because what did you expect? “It was nice not to have to sit in the makeup chair for that hour each morning,” Hemsworth told Entertainment Weekly about losing the long locks. It’s the third movie in the series, and it’s time to change things up, and a haircut is a sensible place to start if you’re looking for a new you. We knew director Taika Waititi was going to be taking Thor: Ragnarok to some new places, so Chris Hemsworth’s new look as the titular Norse god isn’t a surprise.
