I loved it not the best Marvel movie probably the funniest, thought it was funnier than GOTG2 which I think had a few good jokes but mostly sitcom level IMO

Did you really find Thor 3 funny?

Yep, I was laughing out loud did you not find it funny?

It was a decent movie, and for a change, I could stomach the entirety of a Thor movie. This being said, it was massively disappointing. I take it that I'm not the kind of public these movies are aimed for because everyone else seemed extremely pleased with this movie's progression, but I swear it all feels like a massively wasted opportunity.

Let me tell you my first and big complain: no one seems to like introspection in these movies. Seems everyone wants to copy the Guardians of the Galaxy model nowadays of adding dumb humor even when it's not needed, but unlike Guardians 2, which managed to know when to stop and allow levity to take place, Thor 3 is all over the place. It was one cheap joke after another to ruin everything. Is it too much to ask for a damn interjection at times without dumb shit in the middle? I'm honestly surprised at how incredibly deep some sequences can get (Thor recalling the words of his father and invoking the thunder without his hammer? Fucking yes please), but with each one of these you have to sit through childish, mindless crap. And while I get that superhero movies are also aimed at children, this particular movie has a few dark sequences that don't mesh all that great because it manages to alienate the small kids who might not be able to comprehend them, and the adults who would rather have a grounded experience like that without all the other issues. (Asgard - the city - just got obliterated LET'S MAKE A JOKE ABOUT THAT HAHA)

My second and big complain: everyone in this movie is incredibly braindead. This might have some sense in Guardians of the Galaxy, but it doesn't here. Thor is an idiot, Banner is an idiot, Loki is an idiot; you name him, he's probably an idiot. Don't you love when Banner makes a point of saying if he becomes Hulk again there's a chance he won't revert ever back, but then ten minutes later he does anyway with absolutely zero doubt in his semblance? Not only that, but how incredibly stupid was Banner throughout this whole movie? How come Loki can be so absolutely retarded as to try to betray Thor and five minutes later come in full help? Why does Hela allow Loki to run to the tower and invoke Ragnarok? I swear the characters in this movie are so damn inconsistent there's simply no point in bothering saying why they are, since the movie spells it out over and over.

On a more positive light, I was pleasantly surprised as how the events of Thor Ragnarok basically led to Thor becoming one-eyed Captain Kirk of the Asgard Entership. It was a fun take, alongside the defeat of Hela by basically causing Asgard's destruction at the hands of Ragnarok, that was original too.

You've pretty much just descriped all Marvel movies. Outside of like the first batch they made, where they were still kind of trying to find their way, and experimenting a bit, they've basically all been like this. I think especially after the first Guardians of the Galaxy, with it being such a runaway hit despite nobody ever having even heard of any of those characters before, was really the point where they were just like yep.....everything's gotta be hilarious all the fucking time, regardless of how not hilarious it really is/should be.

And character consistancy? Fuuuuuuck that. The characters will be exactly as strong/weak, serious/funny, etc as each individual scene demands for the sake of maximum "awesomeness." 

I can't bring myself to go out and watch them anymore honestly. It all just comes across as trying way too hard to be likable. But hey, it seems to be working for them, so kudos I guess.



It's amazing. I didnt like the first 2 Thor movies much, but this was much better

Hell yeah



Watched it earlier today. My gf and our friends all really loved it! A lot of fun watching start to finish.

I loved it. It was so, so, so, so much better than the first 2 Thor movies. The change in tone, and staying off Earth for the majority of the film is what the Thor franchise needed. Thought it was really funny, villain was petty good, characters were fun. Might be one of my favourite MCU movies.

Not really. A few laughs but the humour was a bit silly.



I saw it. I enjoyed it. The movie had an odd composition. It was combined humor with a darkness. I won't go into spoilers but there was a lot of loss in this movie.

I get that there's the blueprint and that Marvel is adhering to it since that's where they're printing massive money. But even something like Guardians of the Galaxy (particulary the second entry) knew when to fucking stop with the jokes; the final arc of GotG2 after the Pac-Man joke goes straight to the end without anything dumb or shitty; just the drama that's supposed to represent. There's been a few movies here and there, like the Captain America ones, that at least manage a consistent tone and while people indeed suffer from the "you're going to be weak now because it's more spectacular that way" syndrome over and over and over again, at least the premise can maintain itself without any childish suspension-of-disbelief shattering situation.

This Thor movie, however, throws absolutely everything out of the window and sacrifices the suspense of every single moment for a cheap joke. That's what it becomes: a running, tired cheap joke that's as boring as predictable. And with it, characters pretty much stop being what they're supposed to be but just a puppet to the screenwriter's will to insert more jokes (seriously, I can't point it out more than I already have, Banner is a massive idiot in this movie and he's supposed to be some sort of genius scientist).

I think what I am the most here is disappointed. Disappointed because this Thor movie had legit moments of awesomeness that were both organic and epic without really becoming tryhard. That potential gets immediately wasted seconds later at every single step, and it pains me seeing the what could have been rather than what we get in the end.



Disappointed.

It had potential, but it fell apart with really bad jokes and too many. Guardians of the Galaxy works because they are the misfits, it's their thing. Shoving Thor into that was really awkward. Did anyone care when Hela kills all of Thors friends? No, neither did the movie or Thor apparently who never mentions them.

I'm not hard to please, but when I laughed more at something like Logan than I did this movie which tries so hard screaming "laugh! Laugh dammit!" it just fell flat.

Oh, and Sif could kick lame ass Valkyrie butt any day of the week. What a garbage character and actress phoning in a performance.
