Thor: Ragnarok

[rynling]

I went into Thor: Ragnarok thinking that it couldn't possibly be as good as everyone has been saying it is, and it wasn't. It was better.

Tessa Thompson gets a sword!

Idris Elba gets a sword!

Chris Hemsworth gets two swords!

Cate Blanchett gets ALL THE SWORDS!!

I still don't understand why everyone loves Tom Hiddleston so much, but he gets some swords too.

I chuckled when I recognized Matt Damon. He's got a very good cameo.

I literally laughed out loud when Jeff Goldblum came onscreen. Jeff Goldblum is perfect.

I may have wet myself a little when I realized that Taika Waititi himself is voicing one of the characters. Taika Waititi is better than perfect.

I have seen some good movies in 2017, but this was definitely the best of the lot.

I haven*t recognized Matt...

At the very beginning of the movie, there is a "play within a play" sequence in which a character disguised as another character is watching a Shakespearean dramatization of the events at the end of Thor: The Dark World. Within this drama, Matt Damon has been cast in the role of Loki. I think the joke is that, unlike Thor and Loki, Chris Hemsworth and Matt Damon are supposed to be pretty good friends in real life.
