    Thor: Ragnarok - 7/10
    1. Overall Plot - 6/10 I like the Ragnarok storyline a lot. And I like the Sakaar storyline a lot also. But I hate how they did Sakaar in this movie. It doesn't fit for a Thor movie at all, and it's supposed to be a Hulk planet. I just feel like Thor was out of his character the whole movie. It didn't feel like a Thor movie at all.

    2. Entertainment / Engagement - 8/10 This movie used to be a lot more entertaining for me. But now all I see is how it doesn't feel anything like a Thor movie. But the movie itself as a standalone thing is still pretty entertaining.

    3. Emotion / Investment in Story - 7/10 There is a good amount of emotion in this. But it doesn't hit as deep as it should. For as much as Thor goes through, he just doesn't really feel that much emotion. It's like he almost forgets about it, rather than dealing with it how he should.

    I don't really get that invested in this movie, because it does not feel anything like a Thor movie.

    4. Theme and Depth of Story - 4/10 I cannot honestly think of a theme for this movie. It kind of feels very random in that sense.

    This movie isn't very deep at all. It tries to go deep into Thor, Asgard, and the past, but it just misses.

    5. Characters - 4/10 The only characters I like in this movie is Loki and Korg. Loki is really the only one who stays true to himself and had proper character development. While Thor doesn't feel like Thor at all. He acts complete differently than he ever has, and there isn't really a reason why. Hela is more annoying than menacing, and something about her I just don't like. She seems to cheesy. She has no reason for us to even think of her as a villain, as even the main characters don't really know anything about her. Korg is a great comic relief character. He just has great one liners. I also like how Heimdall is still helping the Asgardians, but he should have been in it a lot more.

    I also hate how Hulk is a bit smarter. He is talking more, and smashing less. Mark Ruffalo Hulk just sucks. And Bruce Banner being in this movie doesn't really fit in a Thor movie at all. It's part of why it doesn't feel like a Thor movie. Valkyrie is also just kind of annoying, and pretty forgettable.

    6. Acting / Writing - 6/10 The only good actor in this is Chris Hemsworth. And he just doesn't feel as good in this as Thor. Probably because the character was changed so much. Tom Hiddleston as Loki is still great, and honestly steals the spotlight in this film.

    All the other actors aren't great. Cate Blanchett sucks as Hela. Mark Ruffalo is worse than usual as Bruce Banner. And Tessa Thompson is not great at all as Valkyrie. Even Jeff Goldblum isn't that great as the Grandmaster. He's just too weird. A lot of Goldblum goes a long way, and in this case it's too much.

    7. Cinematography / Sets - 8/10 This movie looks great. It is very bright and vibrant.

    8. Score / Sound - 5/10 The music for this movie isn't bad. I actually kind of like it. But it absolutely does not fit this movie or Thor at all. It is way different than anything we've heard before, and ruins a lot of epic moments.

    9. Editing / Pace - 8/10 The editing is good. The fight scenes are edited well.

    The pacing is pretty good. It is just a bit rushed at the beginning, but is pretty good throughout.

    10. VFX/Practical Effects - 8/10 All the CGI and effects are very good. Hulk just doesn't look that good, and his face is ugly. Hela's sword power stuff is also not that great looking. It kind of looks pretty cheesy.

    Average Score: 6.4/10

    My Overall Rating and Final Thoughts: 7/10 I don't dislike the movie, but I don't think it is as cool as a lot of people think. It just doesn't feel like a Thor movie at all. And they completely changed his character in it. I do really like Loki in this movie though.

    childish crap
    This is one of the most childish Marvel films I have ever seen (well, except for She Hulk).

    The humor is terrible, here we see how Thor is more or less made fun of for the first time and I find it terribly irritating.

    The only scene that really provides a bit of tension and some nice humor is the scene where he has to fight the hulk and his initial enthusiasm.

    That was a revival for a while, then it quickly goes downhill again when Valkyrie makes her appearance and we get another dose of forced girl power, which of course standard now

    the story never get's interesting and is rather boring.
