IMDb Picks: November Editors' Picks1 of 11
Thor: Ragnarok
Not a month seems to go by when yet another superhero movie is released in theaters, so it was a pleasant surprise to find the 17th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe fresh, funny, and wildly entertaining. The not-so secret ingredient is director Taika Waititi, who has combined his quirky brand of humor with the bright palette that made Guardians of the Galaxy a smash hit. Chris Hemsworth looks as if he’s never enjoyed himself more as Thor, while Cate Blanchett chews the scenery as Hela, the goddess of death. Waititi himself proves the softly spoken voice to rock monster Korg, stealing every scene he’s in. It all adds up to a much-needed dose of fun, and proves there’s life in the genre yet. — Michael
Opens in U.S. theaters Friday, Nov. 3
