    Default Thor Ragnarok

    I saw this over the weekend - and i went in with LOW expectations..


    I lol'd out loud a LOT.

    This clip may have some spoilers - but it also showcases how FUNNY the movie is at times Also has some Thor's roommate stuff not part of the movie




    And Cate Blanchet as Hela? OMG. She. Looks. AMAZING.

If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Funniest movie I've seen in a long time.

    My newly converted, religious zealot son won't watch movies like that anymore... say's they're "EVIL," because they portray "FALSE GODS."

    I guess you have to suspend your imagination and ability to decipher between a "STORY" just for entertainments sake, and the "truth." Another point of contention that my son has gone off the deep end with this extreme religious consumption.

    It's in the same vein as Deadpool or Ant Man, but definitely amps up the dry humor and it totally works. I never buy movies, but I might buy this one.

    I would say rather your son needs to engage and free his imagination rather than oppress it.

    I will withhold comment about your new-converted son...

    but about the movie - it kinda ruined the mystique of Thor - who by his own admission is NOT an actual deity. "God of Thunder" is really just someone who commands/controls lightning - NOT to be worshiped and all that.

    The movie adds current humor/writing and sayings - and to see Thor humbled and his faults and all that....and did I mention Hela? Blanchett's body suit plays very well with her booty

    btw - I got the impression Thor's "hammer" represents the male's idealized penis and his image thereof. Men place their sexual identity in their 'hammer power' and if they didn't/don't have an amazing "Hammer" they are somehow 'less-than'.


    Wonder what Freud would think about my impression?

    ​Thinking the same thing (dry humor)...but definitely a different twist for this brand based on the trailer I just viewed ....Son and I will check it out.

    (seen Ant-Man a week ago it was fun)

    My SIL is just dumber'n a brick and everything cliche about a dumb redneck. If he was a Holy Roller too I'm afraid I'd have to hurt him.
