"Last time we saw you, you were trying to kill everyone. What are you up to these days?"
"It varies from moment to moment."
Two years after the events of Sokovia, Thor (Hemsworth) is looking for Infinity Stones. He learns that his father, Odin (Anthony Hopkins), is dying and Ragnarok, the destruction of Asgard, is approaching. On his deathbed, Odin tells Thor and Loki (Hiddleston) that they have a sister: Hela (Blanchett). Hela is the goddess of death and Odin's death will release her.
Hela plans to lead the people of Asgard, by force if necessary. She easily destroys Thor's hammer and defeats both of her brothers, who barely escape. When Thor wakes, he is a prisoner on the planet Sakaar. Scrapper 142 (Thompson) captures him and takes him to the Grandmaster (Goldblum). The Grandmaster rules the planet and uses his prisoners as gladiators.
Can Thor escape the planet and save Asgard from Hela?
This is the fifth film in Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), it is also the third Thor film (Thor in 2011 and Thor: The Dark World in 2013).
Each Thor film had a different director and style. The original film was directed by Kenneth Branagh and build the world of Asgard. The sequel was directed by Alan Taylor and took on a darker tone. This film, under the direction of Taika Waititi, takes a more comedic approach. The risks are still high, but they don't shy away from lightening the mood.
After sitting out Captain America: Civil War, this film pairs Thor and Hulk for an adventure of their own. Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo have great chemistry and it is fun to see the relationship between Thor and both sides of Banner. In this film, Hemsworth gets the chance to show his comedic side, while still staying true to the character. Thor's trusty hammer, Mjolnir, is destroyed so he has to adjust fighting style for this film. Ruffalo gets to do double duty, portraying Bruce Banner and voicing the Hulk (Lou Ferrigno voiced the character in the Avengers films). Hulk gets a bigger vocabulary and a bigger role in the film.
Tom Hiddleston returns as Loki, along with Idris Elba as Heimdall. The Warriors Three (Tadanobu Asano, Ray Stevenson, and Zachary Levi) make a brief appearance, along with Anthony Hopkins as Odin. Cate Blanchett is the villain, clearly enjoying herself, with a little help from Karl Urban as Skurge, her executioner. Jeff Goldblum plays to the rafters as the Grandmaster and Tessa Thompson adds attitude and more muscle as Scrapper 142. And Waititi voices the character of gladiator Korg.
It is an interesting story that keeps the action and laughter coming. The entire film takes place away from Earth (unlike the previous films), with most of the action on Asgard or Sakaar.
The mid-credits scene teases Avengers: Infinity War.
