Thor: Ragnarok is by far the best movie in the entire Thor franchise and one of the greatest movies in the entire Marvel cinematic universe. It all begins when Thor finds himself at the hands of a mighty villain capable of destroying even the most fierce some of fighters. After an intense slew of events, the god of thunder finds himself imprisoned halfway across the universe by a mysterious threat. Now without his hammer, Thor must discover a way to escape, and if he fails, the consequences will be dear. To make things even more challenging, the once proud son of Odin soon finds himself being pitted against the Incredible Hulk in a gladiatorial contest that can only have one winner. As things start to unravel, Thor discovers that Hulk isn't the biggest of his worries, and that he should be more afraid of the amazingly powerful Hela, who plans on destroying all of Asgard and making the legends of Ragnarok come true. 
 

Unlike other Marvel cinematic universe movies, this one manages to be way more quirky, fun, and shows an entirely new version of the Hulk that everyone seems to love. Even though the stereotype of the Hulk being a green monster that loves smashing things is still evident in this movie, Hulk's funniness absolutely reaches its peak in this movie, and this adds an entirely new level of depth to the dialogue and to the character. Dr. Strange's cameo in this movie also adds another touch and is another great example of showcasing heroes dealing with other heroes, while also managing to show Stephen Strange's quirky magical powers in an awesome manner that the once-surgeon would be proud of himself. Not only does every other character get funnier in this movie, but Thor also wields witty one-liners and comical scenes that occasional rival the likes of Deadpool.

 The vividly appeasing visual effects are absolutely astonishing and allow the movie to compliment their brilliant jokes with the realistic science fiction-esque that makes the god of thunder feel both relatable and out-of-worldly. The ending to the movie is spectacular and ends things on part cliff hanger, while tying together the beginning with the end in a cohesive story telling manner. It also matches the exciting entertainment that the movie jumpstarts the story with. 

Not only was the movie a success with die-hard fans, but critics and typical viewers seemed to enjoy the movie. Rotten Tomatoes gave the movie an impressive 92%, and 93% of Google users liked the movie, which is fairly impressive. Thor: Ragnarok isn't afraid to take jabs at themselves, and this allows the mighty Thor to embark on an adventurous satire that is sure to please just about everyone.
