Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal
Was a bit delayed in seeing it to a few weeks back, and just saw this thread after some inactivity. Sorry I'm late to the party.
First, some level setting. I was rather meh on Ragnarok - the humor didn't catch me. This is after seriously loving both of the GotG movies. I know lots of people enjoyed it, but the first Thor was the strongest for me, and none of the Thor movies have been top-in-MCU list for me.
I enjoyed L&T quite a bit more than Ragnarok. The humor in it worked for me more, and the quantity was toned down so it didn't feel like it was being forced to come at us that fast. And Jane took some of the goofiness in ways that worked.
There were some strong action sequences, striking black and white, two separate tears-in-my-eyes scenes. I loved the kids, laughed at the goats, and liked (but not loved) the chemistry between the characters. Cheered at King Valkyrie and The Mighty Thor. Quite liked our antagonist, not even sure I can call him a villain if it wasn't for kidnapping the kids. I enjoyed the Korg biased-narrator bookends, which since I'm not a Korg fan is saying a lot. Actually more leaning anti-Korg. It had quotable lines. "It's The Mighty Thor. And if that's too hard, try Doctor Jane Foster!" was said many times. And to repeat myself, I really loved the kids, especially their power-up scene, but really anything with Axl.
For me, this was a 7/10, and the just behind the orignal Thor in my rankings of Thor movies. Solid, rewatchable, but not one of the outstanding stars of the MCU.
