Marvel’s latest installment in Thor series satisfies

 Released Nov. 3, Thor: Ragnarok follows the Greek god of thunder, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) as he tries to stop the events of Ragnarok and save his home world of Asgard.  
  As part of the Thor series, this film changes tone from the previous ones by relying more on comedy than seriousness. The film still takes itself seriously, but the writers had more fun with the script. With a couple of surprise Marvel guests, and of course the creator of Thor, Stan Lee, the movie introduces new characters that will hopefully make appearances in future films. The storyline was strong and interesting. A movie is only as good as its actors and all the actors in this film did a great job.  
  During the movie, Thor faces many problems and is slowly pushed further and further down until he has lost everything. When the movie reaches its climax, Thor realizes what’s really important and what he’s been missing the whole time. His main goal in this film is to save the Asgardians of his homeland. Heading into The Avengers: Infinity War next year, Thor will still be affected by what happens in this film. It’s an important film that any Marvel universe fan needs to watch.  
  The visual effects are outstanding. The fantasy-like aspects used looked realistic and appeared more than the previous films, which mainly took place on Earth, rather than on Asgard or Sakaar. The comedy, which is one of the things that makes this movie stand out, is great but sometimes seems to be a little much. Marvel has been slowly adding more comedic vibes to its films and it works, but this could have been toned down.
  Sadly, this film lacked Thor’s love interest in the previous films, Jane (Natalie Portman), and her very comedic friend Darcy Lewis (Kat Dennings). But all in all, this is a great action-packed comedy superhero movie. It is meant to entertain and it succeeds at what it is trying to do. For those reasons Thor: Ragnarok deserves a 9/10.
