User blog:Jmcdavid/Thoughts on Thor: Ragnarok (Spoiler-free)

Okay, I saw Thor: Ragnarok yesterday, and here are my thoughts on it.

First, they had some BRILLIANT comedy in there! Some real zingers were thrown around, and there was even some nice slapstick action!

Second, the fight scenes were very well-done! I can't help but be impressed by how those scenes went!

Also, he might have only been in there for a short amount of time, but Benedict Cumberbatch's Stephen Strange totally stole the show! He was ever so casually warping reality around himself and Thor when they were together, in a fine display of how much more adept he has become at using the Mystic Arts since the Doctor Strange movie ended. For example, he told Thor, "Pull up a chair." Next thing Thor knew, both of them were already sitting in chairs!

All in all, this was probably the best Thor movie ever. The first one was pretty good, but at the same time, felt a little generic. And from what I understand, the second one, which I haven't actually seen, creates some plot holes due to being written in a way that prevents it from fitting in properly with continuity for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But Thor: Ragnarok was witty, action-packed, and a fresh new take on the God of Thunder!
