Reviews of the Week
Thor: Ragnarok may not be out in U.S. theaters till Nov. 3, but the reviews are out, and the film has generated widespread praise. The critics are in agreement that this film is funny. Very funny. “It basically throws up its hands at its own ridiculousness and plays it all for laughs - and it gets them,” says The Guardian.
Indiewire’s headline declares: “Marvel’s funniest superhero movie is a dazzling buddy comedy.” Variety says: “Thor battles his sister and Marvel franchise fatigue alike as director Taika Waititi injects a welcome dose of self-parody into the character's standalone series.” What appears clear is that this new addition to the Marvel canon is a breath of fresh air in an increasingly crowded genre.
