Thor: Ragnarok. Science fiction or comedy?
It's not a secret to anyone that year after year Marvel films are usually the most expected to see on the cinema billboards, and in this case the almighty god of thunder was not an exception. More than having the beginning of a sequence the Marvel Studios title doesn't give it a rank of honor, as it happens with this new appearance of the blonde haired character.
Looking it from the visual perspective, the movie is exquisite. It has really good effects, those that highlight in the battles, the universe in general, or even Asgard himself at the height of his destruction. On that side Marvel is characterized by providing the public with a visual effect that is good for the retina, they take 10 points ahead of any other that dares dispute that title.
But then we have the plot.
I bet that since the movie started until the last post-credit scene in the room where they were watching everyone was laughing incessantly, and I will not say it was a sin, because in this case I also did it, but only Adam Sandler was missing to change the category and be a timely comedy. I don't mean with this that having comedy puts the movie in a lower range, but, was so much needed? Sure many will come and go there saying that the films of Iron Man has comedy, and I will not deny it, but not really at this level.
The amount of humor Thor handled throughout the film was impressive, only from that aspect the film began to descend, because comparing them with the two previous productions with the same protagonist, is it at the level of the previous ones? And while it was impeccable performances, in certain parts we can see or think that the actors were improvising.
When many people left the rooms at the end of the show they asked the same question that I asked myself, it was a Marvel science fiction movie or a Broadway's comedy?
But beyond that, this movie doesn’t lose merit, and much less the sequence that followed. Leaving everyone in expectation of how they plan to do the next, and of course, to know how everything ends in this universe.
