I love Thor - maybe an unpopular opinion but the first Thor film is one of favourites in the whole MCU. The fish out of water comedy elements were great and Chris Hemsworth shone with these comic moments. Thor got funnier as the movies went on but still retained a serious edge to the character. Then Taika Waititi got hold of the franchise to tell a story of loss and pain with ragnarok, and turned him in to an all out comedy foil - And this is much the same as that movie. Don't get me wrong, I did laugh at some bits, but then immediately thought this is ridiculous. I know people clearly like him but in my opinion Waititi has no place being involved these films, if Gorr hasn't butchered your god, then pray to them that he is never allowed near the franchise again! Thor is an absolute idiot in this film, you can never tell if, in his serious moments he is actually being serious, or acting that way within the character. He also somehow gets in to a love triangle with mjolnir and stormbreaker???? With the exception of Portman the film is full of annoying characters to be honest - Valkyrie - never looks bothered about what she's doing in the film and doesn't even take part in the last battle cos "she might get killed", despite talking to Jane earlier in the film about how she wants her Viking death so she can get to Valhalla????? Speaking of Valhalla, Sif makes an appearance so she can instantly be dumbed down and not understand how you get in to he place - even I know how to get in to it!! Korg - time has come and gone for him and he is just annoying now, constant interrupts the serious moments and just has no point in being in the film. Overall it's just a very boring story, there's no real plot, Thor finds out someone is murdering gods, and just goes to kill him.... Synopsis done, that's it! Way too much filler in the film and pointless scenes just to drag it out far longer than it needed to be. I had also heard that Gorr is the best MCU villain since Thanos.... not the Gorr I saw - he's barely even in the film! I did find his shadow powers visually impressive, but overall though he was quite underwhelming, and didn't really understand the ending - which was also underwhelming. Don't get me wrong, thee are some good elements to the film, there are some excellent set pieces, the cinematography is great at times, Natalie Portman is the best part of the film and I found she has a very compelling story during the film, and there are some genuinely tender moments between her and Chris Hemsworth when the film allows. And the goats are funny.... You'll see. The most worrying thing is, after seeing what phase four has given us so far, I really worry where the MCU is headed as there doesn't seem to be any overarching story arch going on with these films, there was one scene in Shang chi about the rings, but the rest of the credit scenes just seem to be confined to their own movies. I honestly don't know where they are going, and with the last four films being very "cosmic" based, I'm not sure what is going to happen with Black panther next. Anyway, rant over so in closing I'll say, if you like ragnarok then you'll love this film, if not then maybe best to wait till it's free.
