Giggity

So Thor Ragnarok was pretty damn good. Sure maybe there were too many jokes, but I was laughing, and the cast was great too. Plus Jeff Goldblum acting like Jeff Goldblum is never a bad thing, that and The Hulk talking was awesome. I'm not sure if it's my favorite MCU film, but I do think it's one that I'll revisit several times.

I agree that this was on par with IM3...both were pretty shit.

Very fun and funny movie! I always worry about the lack of urgency but it goes away when I watch the movie because I can't help but laugh and have a lot of fun.

 

Loved Hulk in this but I especially loved Bruce. He's different in this one. For those who haven't seen it, you'll see.

So that’s how BDSM is done in Asgard. 

 

Now I know.

Didn't care for the first two Thors but I enthusiastically liked Ragnarok quite a bit 

[BadAtGender]

My sister messaged me to say she really liked Ragnarok and is going to take my nephew next week. He's all into the MCU, so I'm sure he'll dig it.

 

I just need to write another ~400 words today and then I can go myself.

They were just painfully mediocre, painfully.

 not that my opinion matters on Thor very much but I pretty much hated this movie right up until the final 10 minutes.

 

3/10

 

I hate having similar opinions to you

[John Marston]

I've heard complaints to IM3 and I don't get it. The humor was actually funny and there were still stakes and urgency unlike that movie 

[Steele131]

Haven’t entered the weekend thread since IT. Nice to see a film making money again lol. So what’s Thor looking at? Around Homecoming numbers?

[TwoMisfits]

This movie is interesting...it seems both the American critics and viewers were a little less kind to it (although still large majority enthusiastic)...Now, I almost need to watch it right now to get my own feel for legs, and I can't b/c I'm busy all weekend...

 

So, I'd love to keep reading more thoughts...and why the disappointed might be disappointed in a non-spoilery way...

Seeing Ragnarok again and I finally got the second Black Panther trailer.

104M is the initial estimate. I was telling you guys that those 120+ predictions were too high. The movie had to overcome Thor's perception, among the MCU fan base, as the weakest (and non-Russo) franchise.

 

Also, JL looming so close, is also going to lower the ceiling on the OW. Two blockbusters of the same genre so close to each other can have a gravitational effect. Considering these circumstances, anything over 100M has to be considered a victory. 

 

I said 100-110, and that high 90's wouldn't surprise me.

1:15 Saturday afternoon. 11th release day and this session is 80% full in the biggest theatre.

It's easily going to do $100M+ OW. 

[grey ghost]

Even Deadline is predicting 115 m and they're typically conservative.

 

"90 m OW", lmao.

The 120+ weren't and aren't too high....
