She hasn't seen the others but she was bloody smitten with the trailer and the video of Hemsworth playing with toys and tonally it sounds a bit more suitable... I wouldn't say that it is suitable for a 4 year old. There is some swearing and (fantasy) violence in it. For anyone else who has seen Thor Ragnarok, where is the song The Lonely Man used in it?

Keith Houchen Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 Speaking of Thor, could someone go and see it with no real interest in the Marvel franchise? I've seen a couple of them and they weren't for me but my girlfriend is a fan. Would I be all "Who's that?" throughout the film? Quote

Definitely, it's a straight up comedy with over the top obvious characters in a totally new setting. It's worth it on comedy value and spectacle alone. You won't really be asking "Who's that?" Unless you don't know who the incredible Hulk is. Quote

I'm not a fan of them at all apart from Guardians of the Galaxy, I've seen bits of the others but never finished an Avengers film or anything, and I liked the new Thor quite a lot. I was expecting it to be more of a comedy based on reviews, and it isn't, it's just a more comedic take on the usual spaceships-and-fights Marvel formula. Quote
cobra_gordo Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Went to see Thor: Ragnarok last night. Really enjoyed it, just good silly fun. I'd like to give it a second viewing to make sure it's definitely not a turd disguised with plenty of good gags. The fella made out of rocks is the MVP though, not one line from him missed. Quote
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted November 14, 2017 Paid Members Posted November 14, 2017 Yeah, it's good fun. Marvel is at it's best when it doesn't take itself too seriously and Cate Blanchett is wearing a skin tight costume. Quote
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted November 15, 2017 Paid Members Posted November 15, 2017 Expectations were low, but Zack Snyder and co smashed it. Reviews for Justice League are middling to low. Quote

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted November 17, 2017 Paid Members Posted November 17, 2017 Solid. I think my favourite thing about the "positive" Justice League reviews are most of them basically say "aye, it's still shit, but it's not as shit as the other shit ones". Shit. Quote
Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted November 17, 2017 Paid Members Posted November 17, 2017 Just back from watching Justice League. It's OK, a bit flat but there's nothing really 'bad' about it. Quote
CavemanLynn Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 I'll be going to see it next week, but I wouldn't be going if my wife didn't have an unlimited cinema card combined with Meerkat Movies. That way, I can satisfy my curiosity without actually giving money to Warner Bros., because I emphatically think the DCEU has been shite and needs to change direction or give up. Wonder Woman was a highlight, but even she was a good character stuck in a bad film. The biggest backhanded compliment I've heard is that it apparently feels more Avengers-y. Unsurprising considering they parachuted in Whedon, but a sign that a lot of critics and audiences want something less miserable and portentous than DC insist on giving us. But THEN AGAIN, the dark palette, glacial pace, and navel-gazing by men in tights wouldn't be an issue if the films they were in were above-average, which in my opinion they solidly aren't. Quote

They still send the takings back to the studio on a per ticket basis. Just like the NHS it's just free at point of use but someone still pays for it. So you are contributing. Quote
Paid Members chokeout Posted November 17, 2017 Paid Members Posted November 17, 2017 Just seen Justice League. Its a mess with a few enjoyable moments. It's very obvious they've tried to cobble bits together, it seems to have about 4 separate opening scenes. The lighter tone really benefits Superman and hinders Batman. They really can't get the balance. Oh and Henry Cavills digital top lip is very distracting. Quote
