THOR: RAGNAROK - KEVIN SMITH'S REVIEW 

It was really cool how Odin (Anthony Hopkins) made it a point not only to notice Loki's presence in Norway, but said " I love you my SONS." The look on Loki's face when he heard it....

In a movie full of jokes my favorite is Korg coming from off screen to kick Loki and say "piss off ghost."

The way banner hit the rainbow road right after he told Valkyrie he was going to save the day made me laugh more than any other gag in all of the other MCU movies

I think Dr Strange's part was absolutely hilarious

Cate Blanchet was insanely awesome. "Alright, get up... you're in my seat." Or, "'who I am'? Were you not just listening?!"

One of the best part in the movie was when Loki (as Odin) saw Thor came back to Asgard and said "Oh sh*t" XD

"Wh- Why are you handing me the, the the the zap stick? He, uh, interrupted me, that's not a, uh, capital offense!" Waititi definitely knew how to use Jeff Goldblum.

For all the comedy the thing that gave me goosebumps was the final fight when Immigrant Song comes on and Thor cuts loose. One of the best comic book movie moments ever!

every Marvel movie kinda alludes to making homage to Jack Kirby's artwork, this movie? Thor Ragnarok IS a Jack Kirby movie, it's like Taika waititi said to the art department: "you see those panels? don't make a homage, bring it to life!" it's such a beautiful movie, this is exactly why you go to the movies for!

Doctor Strange owning Loki was uproarious!!! "I've been falling for thirty minutes!!!!" HAHAHAHAH!!!

I literally got news 20 minutes into the movie that my grandfather passed away and the movie definitely brightened my evening and helped me cope with the loss. This is now my favorite Marvel production and I grew up revolted by anything Thor.

Actually, can I just say the way you talk about the heart of these films with such clarity and love is just wonderful. I love that you don't get hung up on details or rage that it's not the film you would have wanted. You look at what's there and see what makes it good. I've heard a ton of reviews today, and yet found yours to be the one that seemed to care the most. Thank you.

"Good Luck new Dead Doug!" One of the best Marvel flicks ever!

Thor: "Where's our father..." Loki: "I put him in an retirement home" *Cut to demolished building* LOLOLOOLOLOL Killer movie. Thoroughly enjoyed it

Omg. When Banner flies out the plane and...faceplants on the rainbow bridge. And great twist to have Thor and Loki not run away from Ragnorak but actually cause Ragnorak to happen 😂

I fucking lost it when Thor, was yelling at Hulk, for smashing Surtur in the face. Hilarious.

Cate Blanchette is EVERYTHING! What an amazing performance! Idris Elba gets some badass moments, there's some last minute redemption, Robert Plant screaming and Jimmy Page wailing on guitar as Thor opens a can of whoopass, and a lot of heart too. Do yourself a favor and see it!

When korg talked about starting a revolution but didnt make enough posters so only his mom and stepdad showed up 😂😂😂. Laughed so hard

Best line: "piss of ghost!"

The snake story was amazing

I've been falling! For 30 minutes!!!

This is one of those films that will stand repeat viewing. There's so much goodness in it. I literally was grinning and laughing from the top to the bottom of this film. It's just joyous. It is very funny and I think Marvel have pitched it deliberately so because the Thor franchise needs re-energising and also, for those complaining about Marvel making comedies, Smith is right- things are going to get a lot more serious with Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War. Either way, Ragnarok is a brilliant crowd pleaser and it's definitely going to be taking my money again.

Taika Watiti should do He-Man.

Cate Blanchett was damn hot!!!

One of the best superhero films of all time. What an amazing time to be alive, man.

Can we talk about the Wonka theme music playing while Thor was getting the "tour" of Sakaar?

Just came back from my second viewing, it's even better the second time, and it really holds up too! This is a comedy for the ages, even out of the MCU or the superhero genre

Thor 3 is definitely in my top 5 of Marvel movies. It also seems Marvel has more or less figured out how to make their "flavor of the week" villains now ie. Zemo, Vulture (Ego not so much) but Cate Blanchett as Hela was awesome. Of course Jeff Goldblum was a joy to watch too.

one of my favorite scenes in this movie, was when Thor was locked in the chair and being moved along to meet The Goldblum, and "pure imagination" is playing as he freaks lol

Matt Damon!!

Taken as a whole it might be in my top 5 favorite MCU films. However......strange as this might sound, broken down in to its constituents, it might be my favorite. There were just so many little moments I loved in this movie.

Loved it....but what I loved the most. Watch it again and see all of the beautiful Kirby designs throughout the movie. It was like they literally took Kirby designs from the page and put them right on the screen. As an old head comic book collector.....it was a thing of beauty to behold.

And for all its humour, some *really* serious shit goes down in the film... including some bits where they altered the shots in the trailers to hide plot details (which is a great thing to do)

Did they really go the whole review without mentioning Dr. Strange?

Pat yourself on the back @Kevin Smith. Chris Hemsworth has credited you as being one of the reasons for the change in tone from (IMO the very dreary) Thor: The Dark World, to (I know it's been overused, but FUN best describes this movie) Thor: Ragnarok. With Thor: The Dark World holding the worst Rotten Tomatoes score (66%) out of all 17 MCU movies, Thor: Ragnarok was odds on going to be an improvement. Very few would have picked Thor: Ragnarok to hold the second best RT score (currently 93%) out of the entire MCU franchise.

Just saw Thor: Ragnarok. It is absolutely, 100% a good time at the movies. It IS this generation's Flash Gordon. Best movie of the year. A++ I want, nay, I need Taika Waititi, the director of Thor: Ragnarok to do a Superman movie. He would kill it.

My God! The hammer pulled you off? So when is Marvel tapping Kevin to direct?

You're not my friend if you didn't like Thor. It was glorious.

Those people who are complaining thats its "Too funny" its SUPPOSE to be a comedy. Like Cap 2 was a political thriller, Ant-Man being a heist, Guardian's Vol 1 was about space and Vol 2 was about family!! Thor 3 is the best one out of the trilogy. Marvel took a chance of doing something DIFFERENT other than doing the same old Thor movies that many people complained about bitched about Bravo Marvel for taking a chance and succeeding!

Stan Lee's cameo was hilarious, loved this movie!

It's pronounced, Tie(as in tie a knot) -ka Why-ti-ti.

Buying this on VHS

Ragnarok was epic!

Ragnarok's actually funnier than Deadpool which relied more on toilet humour. It's also epic as a bonus

Holy shit Ragnarok was amazing. Pure joy. Move over Deadpool and Guardians, this is the funniest comic book movie.

I thought the first Thor had plenty of comedic moments, and Thor has some of the funniest lines in the Avengers movies - not as much as Thor: Ragnarok admittedly but he's not as serious as everyone's been making out recently.

I've watched it 6 times. I'm about to watch it again. This movie is badass.

Taika Waititi: Tie-ka Why-tee-tee. He has a gift for getting you back in touch with the kid that you were. You see it permeating throughout all of his films. He knows how to balance the heavy with humour without ignoring the former. What I love about the humour he infuses in his films is it usually picks fun of his characters without being degrading. He's just wonderful.

Sorry but by far the most fun I've had in 2017 and i liked WW and Logan and Guardians. The script was perfect with each joke. They do a Zepplin opening montage wtf! Hulk naked lmao and Thor got the Loki beatdown. Goldblum getting constant laughs. And christ Cate was amazing as Hela. Idc for me the best Marvel film to date just because not 1 second i was ever bored in this film. I'm seeing this twice this weekend lol This film had at least 100 jokes the next year your going to see memes now of watch. God Krog was awesome and who gave Thor a haircut lol

man you really know what you are talking about, everything you said about Ragnarok on preparing for the darkeness ahead, lot of death, that loki had his days numbered and how was setting the tone for the movies ahead, and lot of things like that.. you were actually spoiling Infinity War/Endgame year and half ago.... love you're reviews i'm watching all your videos !.. Regards!!

Funniest comic book movie ever. Was too damn good.

I am the goddess of death...... What are you the god of???? Goose bumps EVERY single time I watch this moment when the LED Zepplin-slow motion part happens!!!

*Spoilers here* I know there were sooo many good parts in the movie that is was hard to add into a review but I found delight in the nod to Gene Wilder with the Charlie and the Chocolate factory scene as Thor was coming to meet the Grand Master. Also, the dropping of Banner to the ground I also thought was a bit of a sentiment to him no longer having control over Hulk and showing us that as the universe progresses the ability to control each other becomes less and less. Another gem that was missed is the question to the mythology of Ragnarok in that it is part of a cycle that happens with Asgard. With certain nods to the Norse mythos, the destruction of Asgard forces a reset or rebirth of the realm. The beginning of the end result as we had seen was Thor begin to take on the physical characteristics of Odin as he becomes Odin in the rebirth. Obviously Loki stole the tesseract and Thanos' ship intercepts them at the post credits placing another of the gemstones in his reach setting up the infinity war story line. Finally, it is a bit of a stretch but with the wisdom share of Dr. Strange in the beginning (and with the Black Panther showing up, Tony Stark sticking around and Dr. Strange appearing) I have long thought that the next phase in the marvel universe would include the Illuminati and I think with this we had just witnessed the first scene of this having Dr. Strange watching over the world and showing Thor the way to Odin. Some interesting moments in the film to also take in and totally agree, one of the best Marvel films to date. Justice League has a mountain in front of them. I only hope they can deliver the goods as well...

I can't believe y'all didn't say anything about the dr !! Soooooooo goooooood !!

this movie is beyond great,so much fun,and the fact that we got 2 action sequences with the immigrant song...holy fuck go see this movie!

Epic movie from beginning to end action, comedy, drama this movie has it all MCU finally shows how powerful Thor really is and Hela baddest female comic character ever brought to the big screen wonder woman has nothing on Hela period

Just saw this amazing movie 3 days ago, and watching this review just now really drove home just how dense the awesomeness in it was! Take a bow, Mr. Waititi! You knocked it out of the park!!

one little irony, in the original legend Loki is instrumental in the destruction of Asgard. In the movie Loki is instrumental in the destruction of Asgard, but he does it to help the good guys.

One of my favorite relationships in the movie was Valkarie and Hulk...fun, friendly and just plain adorable :)

I love that you guys talk about the emotional moments as well as the awesome ones. I feel like they're often overlooked amongst the admittedly awesome action scenes and jokes.

Logan Blade Runner 2049 Dunkirk Thor Ragnorak Baby Driver are my top 5 movies this year Thor was so awesome it got me so pumped for the new God of War

Thor, son of Odin Surtur, son of...a bitch, you're still alive! I'm still laughing at this

I disagree slightly, there was a threat to Earth in the form of Hela attempting to cross the rainbow bridge and destroy the nine realms.

You guys said how even Hopkins was having a bit of fun... when he (Loki in disguise) sees Thor walking towards him while talking to some asgardians after the play, he’s like “oh shit”... I cracked up.

You know Loki took the teseract to bargain with thanos...!!! He stared at it in Odins treasury..!!!

The intro battle with Surtur was worth the cost of admission alone- and it was just the beginning! As a 48 year old true believer, I loved how the colorful and futuristic panels of 1970’s comic books were brought to life. And was Hela sexy or what?!

You guys didn't talk about *MASSIVE FUCKING SPOILERS FOLLOW* thor losing his eye and basically becoming Odin/ Old Man Thor, it's so badass and just shows that the director read the comics and i find that so awesome

Also, another really FEELS moment is when Thor is praying for the peaceful passing of Odin and Loki joins him, praying too. I thought that moment showed that Loki was greatly affected as well.

Just got back from it. Took it on the face, neck and chest!

The color treatment, the music, basically put us in a comic book from the 80's, and was a great ride throughout. Hats off to Goldblum. Thoroughly enjoyed the show, will be back this weekend for another sitting.

As soon as I got home from seeing Ragnarok I watched Flash Gordon and Buckaroo Banzai.

The absolute best parts of these reviews and why I watch is that these are two guys my age (maybe a little younger) who add references I know (Midnight Run) as well as all my years of comic collecting and pop culture. Thanks guys!!! Can only imagine how awesome it would be to just sit down with them and talk comic books and comic book movies.

The Dr. Strange scene is really fun too.

Looking back at this ep 4 years later is wild special

Thor Ragnarok, gave the Thor I've been waiting for! - It rocked.

The opening scene was worth the ticket and popcorn my god the best Thor sequence I’ve seen on film 🙌🙌

Thor Ragnarok just the beginning for Kevin Smith in late 2017. Justice League and Star Wars The Last Jedi are also coming up pretty soon. The reviews might be kinda bias, but we don't really care its what we all like and will have our minds totally blown over! Kevin's like alot of us? Is going to be on "Cloud 9" in no time at all. And next year's already shaping up to be good with; Black Panther, Ready Player One, Avengers Infinity War, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, The New Mutants, Pacific Rim Uprising, The Predator, Deadpool 2, Alita: Battle Angel And sheer tons of untold great shit coming up as well in the next 6 to 8 months or so already!!! Get excited folks....

Hulk bouncing the ball against the wall was a moment where only I loughed in the theatre but I loved it

47 people dislike this???? two lovable geeks talking about a movie

8:00 Lol! That scene was amazing. Although after watching that scene, you have to ask yourself, is it any wonder that Loki hates Thor? :D

LED ZEPPLIN Were born to be in this fucking movie. They knew the future, absolutely epic tune fitted so perfectly!!!

Cate Blanchett's portrayal of Hela reminded me of Frank Langella's run at Skeletor in the 80's Masters of the Universe film (my all time favorite villain performance). Just like Kevin said - she just owned it, and had fun doing it!

Best comic book movies I've seen in ages. Not too serious and heavy. Just what I want in a movie

You so inspire me Kevin. Your unabashed love for comics and creativity has inspired me to be uniquely me over the years. Keep on being you. And please, keep taking us fans along for the ride. You make the world a better place... Just by being you.

Got dam it Bernardin! No stakes?! Asgard Falls!. Odin dies! The hammer is broken!

This review just kind of got me jazzed to see this again in theaters.

These guys are too old to appreciate Thor’s PSYCHO CRUSHER

I didn't know it was the same director of What We Do in the Shadows but damn explains alot Fng loved Ragnarok

Spoilers... the movie was freaking amazing!!! So the Thor trilogy ends with a bang? Part 4?

the sorbet is generally served as an intermezzo as a palate cleanser for your next course, kinda like a sweet funny quip between action sequences

this movie was great, and marvel absolutely killed it this year with their shows/movies. the only people ive met that hated this film were DC fanbois

Thank goodness this wasn't just "KEVIN SMITH'S REVIEW." Glad you both liked it.

They're totally fucking up Taika Waititi's name. It's not even hard.

When Valkyrie falls off the ramp during her intro and she puts her hand through the carcass, Was that a BilgeSnipe mentioned in the first Avengers?

Not trying to troll just real feedback. The audio is not great in the venue and I preferred this show without an audience. Babble needs an audience - Fat Man has a two guy intimacy that is lost in front of a crowd in a theme bar. I miss the old format. I don't mind Kevin repeating himself across his many audio/social media platforms but it's feel just too repetitive when he's telling stories to get an audience. Please think about just getting back to the old style.

I'm surprised you guys didn't mention the scene between Dr. Strange and Thor near the beginning. Another magical scene!...no pun intended. I was rollin'...How funny was that dialog!? Thor: "Why didn't you send me one of those electronic e-letters? - ya know, an email." Dr. Strange: "Do you have a computer?" Thor: "Of course not. What for?" LMAO! Love this movie...Seen it twice! Top 5 in the Marvel all time list so far in my book. Funny ass review Kevin!!!

After watching Thor I gave it 8 out of 10, then watched it and in 3D and gave it 9 out of 10 fantastic 3D film

I’ve seen the movie at least 10 times now and it still blows me away each time! I actually get goosebumps every time Thor flies down on to the Bïfrost bridge surrounded by thunder with Led Zeppelin’s Immigrant Song playing - (this was actually cheered in the cinema!!) WAY better movie than i thought it was going to be, and I knew it was going to be good!!!

I can't FUCKIN wait to see it

"I've been falling for 30 minutes!" 😂😂😂
