- If I wanted to list my top 5 Marvel movies so far, Thor: Ragnarok (Thor 3) would've been in there (the other four being Iron Man, Captain America: Winter Soldier, Avengers: Infinity War, and Spider-man: Far From Home). The delightful Ragnar ok was directed by the bright New Zealand import, Taiki Waititi ... so of course, after awhile they corrupt him. This film's screenplay has a similar structure with similar jokes - down to a mid-movie sequence where a crazy god-like figure (Jeff Goldblum in Thor 3, Russell Crowe in Thor 4) demolishes throwaway characters. And Natalie Portman wasn't just going to stand by as the girlfriend/sidekick, so they turned her into a Thor clone in this one (no joking), never really explaining what the mechanism of her metamorphosis is. The only interesting aspect is Christian Bale as Gorr, the god-butcher (yikes!) and his tormented past - but then again, Christian Bale has a habit of being the only interesting aspect of a movie.
