Re: [movie] Thor - Ragnarok
Great trailer. I'm more excited for this than any other marvel movie right now.

It is taking all of my self-control to avoid watching that trailer over and over again.

Really looks good. Seems like there will be plenty of humor too - "oh no, I won handily."

He's had the ability to talk on and off in the comics. I'm curious whether they have an explanation for why he suddenly speaks, or if that's just something he does now.stimpy wrote:Not sure I like Hulk talking.

Yeah, but that's just two words. He's having a full conversation in the Thor trailer.

Re: [movie] Thor - Ragnarok
This movie just keeps looking more and more awesome. I thought there was a progression with Hulk. First, he's just an out of control alter ego. Then Banner sort of makes peace with it, denoted by the 'i'm always angry' admission. That's why he gets to the point he can fight with the team.
So, then, if you consider where they're going with that, I think him talking is the next step. Now he can not only fight with the team but talk strategy and tactics with them. It makes the character far more interesting to me.

Re: [movie] Thor - Ragnarok
Surprised there hasn't been more discussion lately about this flick, what with all the trailers and it coming out so soon. The trailers look great and with 81 reviews in, this is sitting at 98% for Rotten Tomatoes, ranking it as one of, it not the best rated superhero movie ever. I'm getting pretty excited based upon what I've seen and the great reviews.

Re: [movie] Thor - Ragnarok
I've been avoiding trailers since the first one. It's pretty hard to do since they are showing trailers on TV all the time now.

Re: [movie] Thor - Ragnarok
I watched it two days ago. For me this is the best Thor movie. I also think this is better than most Marvel movie, the feel is like the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie. It is even more comedy than the first GotG.Grifman wrote: ↑Thu Oct 26, 2017 2:36 pm Surprised there hasn't been more discussion lately about this flick, what with all the trailers and it coming out so soon.

This opened last night. For some reason, my nearby theater has showings at 8am and 8:45am. I've never seen them do that before.

I have tickets with the kids for a Sunday afternoon matinee. I've been doing my best to avoid the trailers, etc.

Re: [movie] Thor - Ragnarok
I liked the first Thor movie. It focused on characters instead of action for much of the film. Boring for some, I imagine. But I appreciated the thoughtful approach it took to an admittedly cliched origin story.
The second one was okay, but the only real selling point for it was Hiddleston's performance.

Re: [movie] Thor - Ragnarok
I enjoyed both of the Thor movies quite a bit. But I'm an easy sell on Thor. I've always been a fan.

Re: [movie] Thor - Ragnarok
Just came out of Dolby ATMOS showing (but regular 2D) It costs as much as IMAX, but I get recliner seats.
It's a fun movie, and it's basically a "fish out of water" story told very very well. It's a load of fun, esp. with all the in-jokes and wink-nudge bits, esp. with call-backs to the first movie.
Oh, and there is an explanation for the mid-credit tease.
Don't you get it?

Re: [movie] Thor - Ragnarok
I saw the first one in the Philippines, it was out in theaters there a week or two before here.
Now that my mother in law is about to return to the Philippines, we discovered that the theater near us has discount Tuesdays. We saw The Foreigner a few weeks ago, along with about 5 other people. This was a 7:30 showing, most of the popular movies started at 9-9:30, too late for a work night. When we left though, there was maybe 3 cars in the parking lot. Seems their discount Tuesdays isn't working that well.
This Tuesday will be the last chance for us to see a movie until she returns late January or February. not sure if this movie is playing or what time.

Re: [movie] Thor - Ragnarok
Wait...are you trying to get me to take your mother in law to this movie?
Anyway...
Saw it Saturday afternoon. Did I enjoy it? Yes, a great deal. However, I can understand why a few fans are a little annoyed with it. It’s almost as if Marvel has taken the success of Guardians of the Galaxy and decided to bring full on comedy to everything now. While fun, I do hope they strike a better balance in the Avengers Infinity War entries.
Also, I think the richest person in the universe is the one who makes collapsible weapons. I don’t think there were more than two or three fight scenes that didn’t include someone dramatically extending one.

Re: [movie] Thor - Ragnarok
Saw it tonight. Good, not great. Agree with comments that they forced a joke into every scene, including a number of them that should have been played straight. Better than Thor 2, on par with Thor 1 (IMHO). Full disclosure, Thor and Cap are my fav Avengers.
And the Black Panther trailer we saw was seriously badass!

Very fun movie, 15 out of 10 on the fun factor, didn't feel an jokes were forced at all. A nice twist from the regular Marvel typo movie, GOTG excepted. This was even more fun than any of those two movies.

Re: [movie] Thor - Ragnarok
There was a complaint that this one feels a lot like the Spidey Homecoming movie. I sorta agree with that. It's got that same irreverent tone.

Well no, she'd be at home watching the kids. Something me and/or my wife are kind of obliged to do ourselves when she's not here. My wife has every other Tuesday off at her new job so if we make it to a movie tomorrow, that will be two. Next one won't be until (if) she returns, perhaps in February.

Re: [movie] Thor - Ragnarok
Saw it this weekend and loved it. Up there with GoTG 1 for humor and campiness and Winter Soldier for just a solid Marvel movie. Hemsworth really shows off his acting chops. The director's voice over as Kor was fantastic too.
I need to watch more stuff from the director, Taika Waititi. Love his brand of kiwi humor.
