Thor Ragnarok

The funniest Marvel movie to date

The good:

Chris Hemsworth does a lot of comedy in this movie which is good

Mark Ruffulo kills it in this movie 

Suprise Marvel cameos and uncredited cameos 

Thor storyline is awesome 

Korg 

Jeff Goldblum performance is the most he is 

The Bad

Hela was an ok villain. Her scene felt forced and bored

Odin was not that long in the movie which is sad 

The endgame is ok I guess 

The Ugly 

Nothing much. The movie is ok 

After credits: Yes

What's great: 

Animation is spot on

Each mission follows a specific theme

Wall jumping and using grappling hook

The riddler stage is amazing and also hard as nails 

What's not so great:

The game is unforgiving. Make a mistake and you die. 

The batmobile handling is very stiff
