It’s not. Happening
The Official Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 3 thread - Now Showing -"Thor:RAGNAROK"
i dont know why but the thor movies are the only ones i havent gone to see in theaters. All the others i go opening night. Kinda glad i watched the bootleg though cuz i unno i wasnt feeling this movie.
It didnt really have all that much action until the thor/hulk fight which was an hour in and that was short. After that we didnt get much action til the Hela fight, and she didnt feel like all that much of a threat either. I expected more screen time for her. I didnt get her motivation either, what did she want to sword to the bi frost for? Also was it necessary for thor to become Odin just to be king? i unno think im canceling my ticks for opening night, this had alot of jokes which were funny but other than that it kinda dragged. Good thing Tessa's sexy ass was there to keep me engaged.

What you talmbout ???
The opening scene was a fight , Thor VS Surtur, The Dragon and the Demons
Hela vs Thor & Loki in Norway/In the Bi Frost
Hela against the Asgardians
Thor vs The Hulk
Thor and Loki's escape
The Flight chase scene towards the devil's anus
Hela vs Thor
The whole last 45 mins on the bridge
its called pacing and creating story you cant have the whole movie as just one giant fight
Hela is the first born and the heir apparent and Odin's reign in predicated on a lie that he was always benevolent, a good and fair king when he was not, Hela's appetite to conquer and her brutality became too big she had to be contained and banished since Odin had changed, so she has a grudge against her father and wants to contunue her conquering and ruling of the 9 realms under asgardian dictatorship so to speak.
Thor gave up his calm to the throne in Thor The Dark Word to be a guardian of the Earth and an Avenger, he was only thrust in the role of Leader or defecto Protector of asgard only after Odin died and evidently King after Asgard was destroyed.
Hela needed the bi frost sword to directly and efficiently travel to the 9 realms, to put them all under Her asgardian rule.
This is what happens when you watch bootlegs smh...

Its rare that movie fight sequences are longer than 5 to 10 minutes at a time its called pacing , thats why DCEU movies for the most part are trash because they think spectacle and big explosions for an hr make a movie (its exhausting and stupid), instead of carefully placed set pieces... This is typical of all marvel franchise set piece sequences. If you want exhausting elongated dumb non exposition fights go watch a Transformers movie or something.
and no you dont understand , context , scope, lacking in sound and quality when you watch trash bootlegs.
its fine you dont like the movie but your criticisms are not valid.

Only problem I had was
When ol boy went GI joe with the M-16s at the end. In a movie full of alien technology and weapons how does he end up with assault rifles??

Ah , all of the post are in spoilers how refreshing!
Thor: Ragnarok ‘Failed Miserably’ in Early Cuts
“It was very tricky. We spent a lot of time in post-production, actually, figuring that out. It’s a very hard thing to strike that balance throughout two hours and 30 minutes, however many minutes this thing is, for that much time that you’re engaging in a film.”
As Waititi states, landing the right balance in any film is tough. A blockbuster can present particular challenges, especially one that’s equal part cosmic spectacle and comedy. Of course, Waititi isn’t afraid to say that the early cuts of the film weren’t just weak, but actually somewhat of a disaster:
“So we failed miserably and had a funny first 10 minutes and then a super-boring rest of the movie. But that’s luckily why you have such a long time in post-production, because you can test all these things out and get the very best film that you can.”
and this review said the same thing, i guess he watched a bootleg too huh? Just cause someone doesnt agree with your punk ass viewpoint dont mean theyre wrong.
Even the director admits he had a hard time pacing and balancing the movie. So feel free to go fuck yourself now ya pretentious prick.

after all these years and films, is Thor exactly? And what really mattered to him here in this film? Asgard’s very existence being at stake never seems to emotionally register with him as much as it should. He doesn’t have any real arc to speak of here in Ragnarok; there are opportunities to explore some depth between Thor and Hela that the movie deflects in favor of moving on to the next set-piece or gag.
It’s apparent that Thor: Ragnarok isn’t as invested in Asgard as it is in Sakaar, despite Ragnarok being part of the film’s title.
That’s another big problem with Thor: Ragnarok, outside of its preference for Sakaar over Asgard. The movie rushes through so much, treating everything so breezily and facetiously, that it undercuts any real sense of importance or menace offered by the notion of the end of all things. When Big Dramatic Moments do happen — and there are a few — they’re jarringly weightless. This is Diet Ragnarok.

You think Civil War was a misfire? I'm gonna have to disagree with you there.

I'm not really sure this supports your stance. He was talking about the road they had to take to get to the finished product. You're talking about the finished product. It doesn't matter if he had a hard time balancing the movie if, in the end, most people who watch it believe he got it right.

Its saying that the Thor Movie changed a lot in Post production. After the final edit they added something like 30 minutes to it from one of the articles i read on comicbook.com
remember awhile back there was that rumor that Thor Ragnarok was the shortest marvel film to date? Changed that up in post production

last time checked early cuts are not the final cut and no director is ever happy with an unfinished product, and from Interview ALL the interviews Taiki Wahititi and Cast are happy with the final product and film critics and fans alike...
i think you are being the pretentious prick but hey its your prerogative to go against the grain.
fortyacres;c-10069570 said:
and your general consensus on how fans feel about the movie came from where exactly?? did you do a survey or some shit. because its not out in america yet and from what ive read so far not everyone is in agreement on this movie so please enlighten since you seem to have a pulse on how the world feels about this movie....
The people below who've seen the movie seem to disagree with you as well. Do your research before you comment, just cuz your 5 lil buddies on the ave like it doesnt mean the world does or has to agree with you..
"Personally i still feel the same way as i did. They really should have come up with a new original title all together. For being called ragarok, they barely showed any of it. Hela needed way more screen time imo. It was less of ragnarok, and more of thor getting his mojo back, and realizing he holds the power not his hammer, eerily similar to the austin powers goldmember movie"
"I agree with pretty much everything in this review and even as I walked out I felt really underwhelmed. As a story and a hero movie its quite predictable and tired.
Yet it really did have a lot of charm and fun to it. I feel like i could enjoy watching it multiple times. Not for the story or anything other than the characters and set designs."
"The director openly stated that this is a comedy and I have no problem with that. Obviously it is still a superhero film and thus it had lots action (and other prerequisites of that genre) but first and foremost it felt like a comedy. So perhaps it is best judged next to things like The Hangover rather than The Godfather. It didn’t seem to be designed to create real tension or to move me to tears."
"Apparently the only thing that renders The God of fucking THUNDER useless is a shocker type thing attached to his neck. This movie wasn't a superhero comic come to life, but a fucking cartoon with a series of jokes, many of which fell flat and felt forced. Superhero movies are turning into one big joke thats just too loud and too stupid to swallow anymore, even by kids. I've seen many better Pixar animations, cartoons where the hues are just as colorful, but the stories are way more meaningful. No one will remember this one in a decade, much less watch it."
