Thor: Ragnarok - Film Review

-
Well, Thor: Ragnarok came out today and I saw it, and I gotta say... it's great. This is definitely the best of the Thor movies. Thor and Thor: The Dark World were ok, but they weren't the best of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, rather low in terms of greatness. I actually didn't watch those two until just a few days ago, but that's beside the point.


 Plot
Imprisoned on the other side of the universe, the mighty Thor finds himself in a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against the Hulk, his former ally and fellow Avenger. Thor's quest for survival leads him in a race against time to prevent the all-powerful Hela from destroying his home world and the Asgardian civilization.

Review
Thor: Ragnarok is much better than the first two Thor films, which you should watch and both Avengers films before this, and probably the most humorous MCU film, more than Guardians of the Galaxy.

Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song is actually in the movie, and not just for the trailers. Looking at you, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, putting Fox on the Run and Suffragette City in the actual movies wouldn't be that hard. Even an instrumental of Pure Imagination from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is in it.

Taika Waititi is a great director despite this being the only film I've seen from him, I even loved his character Korg. Pretty much everyone was great in this, even Stan Lee's cameo was hilarious.

Chris Hemsworth's great, Tom Hiddleston's great, Jeff Goldblum's great. Everyone is great in this.

This is my favorite Marvel Cinematic Universe film of 2017, loved it more than Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 or Spider-Man: Homecoming. It's like the three MCU films of this year are better than the one before it.

Overall, Thor Ragnarok is great, best of the Thor movies, and best MCU film of 2017. I highly recommend seeing it (not before watching Thor 1 and 2 and Avengers 1 and 2, though).

9/10

Wonder Woman - Film Review

Image
Justicethon Day 7 Wonder Woman is directed by Patty Jenkins and stars Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Danny Huston, Robin Wright and Connie Nielson. Wonder Woman is the fourth film in the DCEU and the second not directed by Zack Snyder. Plot Set in 1918, long before the other 3, Princess Diana (Gal Gadot) grows up on the Amazon island of Themyscira. American pilot Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) crashes offshore of the island and is rescued by Diana. After he tells Diana about World War I, she leaves her home in order to end the war. Review Let me just say: This is the best of the DCEU by far, it looks great, the story's great, the cast is great. This actually reminds me of two Marvel movies I've seen, Captain America: The First Avenger and Thor . CA:TFA was about a superhero going into a world war (I know they're 2 different wars) and Thor was about someone from another realm based on mythology coming into our society (I know Themyscira is on Earth and Asgard is on a dif

Mission: Impossible 2 - Film Review

Mission: Impossithon Day 2 Mission: Impossible 2 is directed by John Woo, and stars Tom Cruise, Thandie Newton, Ving Rhames, Dougray Scott, Richard Roxburgh, and Anthony Hopkins. Plot IMF Agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise, again) is sent to Sydney, to find and destroy a genetically modified disease called "Chimera". Review I didn't like this movie much, it's pretty forgettable. The first hour is slow and the action doesn't pick up as much until the second act. And I just couldn't get invested in it. I don't even remember some of the characters names, so I'll just refer to them by the actors' names. Also, if your movie is already as slow as Mission: Impossible 2 is, don't overuse slow-mo as much as Mission: Impossible 2 does. Also, this film originally had a 3 1/2 hour long cut. I'll pass on that. I will say, the movie is shot very well and some of the action scenes do look really good, but it's not enough to save this movie for

Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers - Film Review

Halloweenthon Day 5  Halloween 5: The Curse of Michael Myers is directed by Dominique Othenin-Girard, and stars Donald Pleasence, Danielle Harris, Ellie Cornell, Wendy Kaplan, Beau Starr, and Donald L. Shanks. Plot It's one year since Halloween 4 , and Michael Myers (Donald L. Shanks) survives being shot by the police. He continues his search for his niece, who is in a children's' hospital. Review If I were asked where the series started to go downhill, it would be this movie. This movie really had no reason to exist, as Halloween 4 would've been a good enough ending, but it made some money, so they rushed out a sequel the next year, and it shows. This movie isn't good, it's bad, but it's not a pile of garbage or anything (oh we'll be talking about garbage later in the marathon). So this movie begins the way Halloween II began, with them recapping the ending of the movie that came before it, but instead of no time passing, a year passes in
