Thor: Ragnarok Zavvi Limited Edition SteelBook New

Thor: Ragnarok has to be one of the craziest Marvel flick yet, delivering everything you want and expect with a little bit more, brimming with fun, personality and action.Anyone who has seen director Taika Waititi's vampire-comedy mockumentary ‘What We Do in the Shadows’ will likely expect his inimitable and delightful brand of humour to extend to his Marvel entry. It’s fortunate that he kept his comedy as it really delivers and fits in well with the comedic personality that Marvel has crafted itself; some of their best films are also, by no coincidence, also the funniest and Waititi has continued this trend, while keeping the laughs fresh and genuinely funny. I wouldn’t say that this movie is an out-and-out comedy as not all the jokes are intended to make you laugh out loud! but they never feel forced and all lend themselves to the personality of the film (and the franchise) and really maximise the fun we have watching the movie. After all, this is a film about a traditional Norse God as a superhero fighting alongside a big, angry, green raging monster, so it's important to have fun with it!'Fun' is certainly one of the best words to describe Thor: Ragnarok and it doesn't extend to just the laughs. Other enjoyable elements include references to the wider MCU to excite us all. All the elements fit in well and seamlessly, not a shoehorned, forced reference or cameo; they all seem natural and make sense to the plot. It's delightful to see Dr Strange, even just for one scene, and to be able to spy glimpses of the Tesseract and a fake Infinity Gauntlet. These scenes definitely add to the rewatch value.The crazy kinetic action really does extend to the whole of the film, from beginning to end, each sequence excellently choreographed. It doesn't shy away from its roots from comics as some of the fights are just as delightfully eccentric and over-the- top. Still they never cease to entertain and, more than that, some are just stunning to behold; the flashback to Valkyrie battling Hela the first time, her army atop a hoard of winged horses soaring through an orange sky only to be cut down by swords and spikes flying towards them in slow- motion! These are gorgeous scenes and Waititi and cinematographer Javier Aguirresarobe have done work to be proud of by showing the beauty of some of Zack Snyder's superhero moments, but in a good film with much more personality and punch.Most of this movie's joy lies in its characters though; at the end of the day, it is funny and the action looks cool, but if we don't love the characters, we won't love the film. Back again we get the usual ensemble of returning characters - Thor, Loki, Odin and Heimdall. All are as regal, fun and charismatic as ever, Hemsworth and Hiddleston in particular; it's wonderful to see these actors develop their characters over the last few films into lovable parts in a franchise full of heroes we already love. I do feel Hopkins deserved a little more screen time and a chance to get more emotional about his sons, his departure and his daughter, but, ever the professional, he makes the most with what he has. Returning characters from elsewhere in the MCU are Dr Strange and the amazing Hulk who add to the delightful ensemble. For me it was a relief to finally see Hulk have a decent amount of screen time and for us to get to know Hulk as opposed to just Banner; they're two distinct characters within each other and it's about time we get to see more of everyone's favourite rage monster.The new characters introduced in this film are all excellent worthy additions and bring a refreshing touch with them. Tessa Thompson is excellent and charismatic as kick-ass female hero Valkyrie, able to confidently stand among Thor, Hulk and Loki. Korg may not be quite the same character he is in the comics, but Waititi takes this part and really makes it his own, saving lots of the quirky laughs for himself. Cate Blanchett too is a particularly fantastic villain, sure to stand amongst the best Marvel villains so far, heads and shoulders above the likes of Malekith and Ronan. She's less generic, less monologue-y and never boring; able to kick ass in a sexily evil way. And of course there's Jeff Goldblum whose character is perfectly suited to Jeff Goldblum, it’s hard to tell when his in character or not!Thor proves himself to be the God of Thunder and Thor: Ragnarok proves itself to be one of the best that Marvel has offered, safely standing proud amongst the best so far. The whole movie is an absolute blast, packed with plenty of references, gorgeous action, fantastic CGI and effects and more genuine laughs than most comedies. An excellent film to round off Marvel in 2017. Highly recommended to watch again and again.

Very entertaining and a great story and great action

Ok I've not watched a lot of 3D but this is the best I have ever seen. The clarity was stunning - I always thought there was some sacrifice made when converting to 3D, but the colours, contrasts and various 3D depths were spectacular. My eyes never strained and there was a whole bunch of "in the box" and "out of the box" stuff going on. A technical marvel.I didn't think this would be my type of film and I'm tiring of all the "me too" super hero films coming out. How wrong I was! A brilliant mash up of heroes, villains, mythology, sci-fi, dark humour and outright laughs. This is no comedy but some of the quips are brilliant. Texas had me giggling like a schoolboy.This is one of those "turn your brain off and let it happen" films and I was engaged for every second. Not only thoroughly entertaining but also a masterclass in how 3D should be done. We can't let this format slip away when it can be this good. I love 4K, but spacial effects are a completely different type of "Wow!". Just look at the VR boom - that's not going to slip away.If you're a Game of Thrones fan you might have moments of deja vu watching this. Nothing overtly ripped off, I just had moments of familiarity - not a bad thing at all. Some of the battle scenes were as epic as any GOT scene, albeit without the nudity and gore.Audio rarely gets a mention - it was really good. Everything from Led Zeppelin to 80s synth, great Dolby 7.1/DTS-HD 7.1 surround sound, voices never drowned out by ridiculously loud background music. I rarely needed to adjust the volume for "good neighbour" purposes. To quote thesoundarchitect web site:"Overall, Thor: Ragnarok was a fantastic film and Taika Waititi has really set the standard for how a Marvel film should be. The casting was fantastic, and the story had all the necessary peaks and troughs to qualify as a superhero movie, whilst never verging on being too serious. The audio progressed and evolved in perfect sync with the plot points. It ensured it was always there to provide glue or enhance dynamic where it was needed, and had a killer soundtrack to boot."I don't know what Taika did exactly, but please do it again.
