Through sixteen films, Marvel has maintained a really good track record of creating fun and entertaining superhero films. Thor: Ragnarok seems to be no different.
In order to stand out from the rest of the franchise and earlier Thor films, Marvel looked to change things up with Thor: Ragnarok by adding more comedy, brighter colours, and setting the backdrop in the cosmos. If you couple that with the appearance of Hulk and a new crew of heroes, the film is shaping up to be one of the studio’s biggest gambles. It seems that gamble has paid off.
The social media embargo for Thor: Ragnarok has lifted and with that comes several early reactions to the film:

Thor Ragnarok is one of the funniest Marvel Studio movies thus far, definitely the best Thor film. Loved Mark Mothersbaugh’s score.

Thor: Ragnarok is just plain fun. It's hilarious from start to finish with quirky performances & exciting action. Tessa Thompson is the MVP. pic.twitter.com/7GyYG4IZZ5

Of course
I mean of course it works!! …and hey it isn’t a D.C. Movie…
Yeah, they are copying the GOTG formula of fun and adventure….so what? Thor has always been about high stakes adventure with humor on the side. Watch the first 2 Thor films. Some humors land, some don’t. But if Taika Waititi makes it more fun for everyone, why the heck not?
At least it’s not like Justice League. From the get go, the DCEU has always been about grim and gritty, but when BVS and Suicide Squad bombed with critics and fans now the trailers are focusing on the fun, fun, fun, one liners, aaaand copied GOTG’s style of giving the film a rock soundtrack. Sheesh!
Peter-John, let’s Scene Xtreme this bastard!
Imax??
Either or bro, I’m easy.
Imax bra… No comparison with the sound quality…. Chalk and cheese.
You coming with Bren? Daala what you must!
Sssooooooooooooo pumped for this….!!!!
Yup. How can i be worried for the big threats when all their movies are comedies?
Can people not see that they are just copying the Guardians of the Galaxy formula?
if it works it works dude
It appears GotG has had an influence on Ragnarok, but is it really a bad thing?
This is a bad thing how? Superheroes are a little absurd, as much as i love them. Play up the absurdity.
