Thor: Ragnarok

— Who can argue with fun? This is one of the Marvel films that knows how to laugh at itself while most the cast members try to save their planet from a few particularly nasty characters who’ll do anything they can to thwart things. It’s nice when superheroes don’t take themselves too seriously and Chris Hemsworth manages to make us all laugh at his human qualities even if he is the God of Thunder! Believe me, earlier Thor films were okay, but this one manages to almost move into the world of “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Deadpool” and “Ant Man.” Of course, even with the fun, there are lessons to be learned about what makes a home, the strength of family, and the redeeming qualities hidden in almost everyone. Tessa Thompson is a great addition as the Valkyrie , Cate Blanchett is wonderfully evil, Jeff Goldblum is wonderfully wacky.
