The November Rain Makes It The Best Time To See The God Of Thunder: Thor Ragnarok Review


 
We'll start with the Disclaimer – Yes, we did receive complimentary tickets, but this just means we're able to give you our opinion of the film


 
Last month we let you know that THOR was returning to the big screen in case you were wondering what the GOD OF THUNDER has been up to. We are thrilled to report that THOR RAGNAROK is spectacular movie for fans of the Marvel Heroes.  Even THOR himself has accepted himself as a hero and spends the first part of the movie explaining where he has been and what he expects to happen (being that he has been having visions since Avengers Age of Ultron).

 

While his visions are starting to come to fruition, they don’t pan out exactly the way he expects them too and so the adventure begins. Many things are explained Including why he no longer is sporting his long locks.

Look Out For Loki


While you think the film is about Thor’s journey, it was Loki (a favourite character of mine) that set all of this in motion.

 

Although he does not feel this way at the start of the film, he soon starts feeling the weight of what he has done.  Together, while approaching it in 2 very different ways, the sons of Odin being to forge a path to set things right.

While the earlier THOR films were much more dramatic this film takes the tone of brotherly love in a comedic sense.  Whether it is the brothers story of Thor and Loki, or the brotherhood of the Avengers when Thor is reunited with Hulk.  In fact there are a few storylines that include sibling rivalry in this film.  Another way that this film is a departure from earlier Thor films is how it looks.  It has much more to do with outer space giving it a Guardians of the Galaxy feel which may be because of the upcoming meld of the Avengers and the Guardians in Infinity War.  As always, we suggest watching for unexpected cameos and stay right to the end of the film.

This November is sure to be filled with glimpses of the GOD OF THUNDER on the screen and with our current weather situation, we think it is a great time to see Thor Ragnarok in theatres.

Marvel - Avengers Age Of Ultron : What You Need To Know

Moving Through The Marvel Timeline

Last week we had to opportunity to attend the advanced screening of the new MARVEL film
AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON
at the Scotiabank Theatre in Toronto thanks to our friends at Walt Disney Studios / Marvel Canada. Being that Diane is new to the Marvel movies, with Guardians of the Galaxy being the first Marvel movie she went to see, I needed to give her the background on all the previous movies that involved the characters known as The Avengers.

My hour long synopsis went from the first Iron Man movie to the most recent Captain America: The Winter Solider and include tidbits about Marvel's Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D. and Agent Carter.

It was a good thing I covered all the bases as a bit of everything was touched on in this film.

What You Will Love About Avengers: Age Of Ultron

This is a 3D film and from the moment it begins you feel like you are in the middle of an action packed video game. With explosions and stunt driving throughout the film you are sure to feel surrounded by the cinematic experience.

I was also having an 80s fan girl experience knowing that LESS THAN ZERO actors Robert Downey Jr. and James Spader were once again reunited to make this film.



This is one of the scenes I enjoyed most, which while it's not an action scene, it is very memorable. I love the quick quips and sarcastic banter that is part of these films.


What Is New About This Film

While the previous films were very story driven, the stories take a bit of a back seat to the action scenes.  There are great plot lines in the film, but they are more about the team working out there issues.

A Few Surprises In The Mix

No spoilers here, but there are a few things that will catch you off guard. 
  • You will be able to see how The Avengers and Guardians Of The Galaxy franchaises may come together in future Marvel Films.   
  • J.A.R.V.I.S. plays a bigger role with the team as apposed to just being a part of the IRON MAN movies
  • There is more that meets the "Hawkeye"
We think this movie will be great for the tween to teen audience when it comes a family night out at the movies!
