6 Thoughts on Thor: Ragnarok
Unlike apparently the entire rest of the world, I thoroughly enjoyed Thor: The Dark World. I don’t know when it became popular to hate on that movie because I remember all of us loving it just fine when it came out. Thor: The Dark World was not declared Marvel’s First Failure when it hit theaters so I think people only dislike it in hindsight.
But it doesn’t matter, because now we’ve got Thor: Ragnarok and the world is bright and beautiful again!
Movie Review: 8/10 – Very Good.
Obviously, Thor has never been the biggest franchise at Marvel. I’ve never been a particularly big Thor fan. So the third Thor movie was probably the perfect place to let a new, visionary director come in and make something really wild and amazing. I bet some studio executive somewhere decided Marvel needed to mix the manic, colorful energy of Guardians of the Galaxy with the Avengers characters directly, giving us director Taika Waititi’s gorgeous Ragnarok (also, if you haven’t seen his other movies, go see them!).
Join me after the jump for my takeaways from Thor: Ragnarok! Expect FULL SPOILERS for the movie!
Why Not Enjoy a Cool, New, Sudden Star Wars Trailer?!
Star Wars: The Last Jedi dropped a new, quick little trailer and it’s pretty cool!
I think I liked this trailer best of all for The Last Jedi. It’s impactful and has some really cool material. Maybe we’ll all enjoy this movie after all!
Also, I don’t like Porgs.

I’m Gonna Post the Spider-Man: Homecoming Honest Trailer
Honest Trailers is still going strong, it seems, and they finally got around to Spider-Man: Homecoming. It’s pretty funny.
I debated with myself whether or not I’d keep posting Honest Trailers in light of the sexual harassment claims against creator Andy Signore. That crap don’t fly. But then the rest of the Screen Junkies people aired this big apology, and I’m not going to hold the sins of one against the whole. If you disagree and think I should stop posting Honest Trailers, let me know. I’m not married to them.

I Like This Guy Much Better Than Cinemas Sins
I used to watch a lot of Cinema Sins and share them on my blog. There were some I liked, but there were also times when I felt they just didn’t get it. Then bobvids came along and showed me the truth: they don’t get it.
Here’s bobvids doing it again!
I think I’ll just share bobvids from now on. They’re much more entertaining.

Bright Keeps Looking Better and Better
Bright looks amazing. It’s a fantasy movie, complete with orcs, elves, magic wands and more, but it’s set in the modern day. I don’t know why more fantasy stories aren’t told with modern trappings.
Will Smith is in this, which is neat. But Joel Edgerton is playing the main orc! Do you know who that is? I had to look him up. Edgerton played Owen Lars in the Star Wars prequels! Good to know that guy is still getting work.
