Hello movie fans. Today I want to talk to you about the third installment of everyone's favorite superhero, Thor, the God of Thunder, but from the Marvel Comics universe. Considered "the best movie of the Thor saga" to date, this third part had a huge amount of praise and reviews in its favor, whether for the direction, the characters, the special effects and the perfect blend of humor with action and fantasy. Produced by the then successful Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, this film was directed by the well-known Taika Waititi. It features Chris Hemsworth as the main character, in addition to the participation of other great actors such as Tom Hiddleston, Kate Blanchett, Idris Elba, Jeff Goldblum, Teresa Thompson and Mark Ruffalo. This is one Thor movie I do recommend watching.

Plot

The movie begins a couple of years after the events that took place in "Avengers: Age of Ultron" with Thor chained in a dungeon next to a skeleton as he tells him that he has been unsuccessfully searching for the remaining Infinity Gems. There he is greeted by Surtur, a giant demon in the form of a skeleton with bull horns and wrapped in flames that seeks to end the life of the God of Thunder, in addition to ending Asgard in the famous "Ragnarok" which he tells him will come and that it will be inevitable. He also tells him that Odin, the King of Asgard is no longer on his throne, but has been banished and abandoned and by the absence of Thor he is vulnerable. Thor manages to free himself and finish off the great demon for the time being and then travels back to Asgard to see his father.

Heimdall's replacement, Skurge, is the one who brings Thor back after finally hearing his call. Thor, surprised that the gatekeeper has been replaced, wonders what is happening in Asgard. He goes to see his father Odin, who sees him happy and calm watching a curious play that is a crude interpretation of Thor, Loki, Jane Foster, Odin and others who appear at the end of the second part. Thor realizes that Odin is actually Loki in disguise and captures him, taking him with him to Earth in search of his father. They arrive on Earth to find that the place where his brother left him has been demolished and they don't know Odin's current whereabouts. It is then when Loki is pierced by a magical portal that Doctor Stephen Strange makes to trap the great enemy of mankind.

Trailer & Review

Next, I will leave you the trailer of the movie:

I remember seeing this movie in theaters (if I'm not mistaken), the feeling it gave me in the first few minutes was very different from its two predecessors. From the beginning I felt it was going to be different, funnier and much more entertaining. The dark tones he had in the first and second films disappear here, showing us a different, funnier and more enjoyable Thor. However, his enormous desire to fight and to measure his strength did not disappear, introducing in turn very powerful enemies that appear in the comics, such as Surtur, Hella and the Wolf Fenris. I was also very impressed by the appearance of other characters such as Doctor Stephen Strange and the Hulk, the latter being the one who was given more time and prominence, after Thor. And of course, an incredible and highly anticipated fight between two of the most beloved characters of the franchise.

When I saw this movie I really loved how they developed the different characters that appear from the beginning, starting with Thor, as that hero who left his home, Asgard, to search for the Infinity Gems and fight an unknown evil. His experience fighting HYDRA on Earth and his enormous contribution to "The Avengers" team have changed his life. However, his personal and love life is already another topic that unfortunately is hardly mentioned in this third installment. On the other hand, we see again his brother, Loki, who was believed to be dead but actually fulfilled his promise to assume the throne of Asgard, albeit in a very mischievous way, as the God of Madness knows how to do. He must now atone for his sins by accompanying his brother Thor on a journey that will change him completely.

We also see the Hulk, who makes an incredible appearance in the film in a scene with Thor that is memorable and, without a doubt, my favorite of the entire film.If you want to see the green giant demonstrating his incomparable superhuman strength in action, you must see this movie, in which he fights against gods and demons. On the other hand, we also see the appearance of Hela, the older sister of Thor and Loki and the villain of the film, who appears after a sad scene in search of ending Asgard, this being the beginning of the great Ragnarok. Of course, the one we see in this movie is not at all similar to the one we know from the stories, since we are talking about a movie made for all audiences nothing more and nothing less by Marvel Studios in charge of Disney. However, this does not detract from the fact that this movie is a complete demonstration of power, action and fantasy at incredible levels.

With a beginning and an ending that is simply unexpected, the film presents us with an endless series of action and comedy in an adventure between different worlds with a group of somewhat interesting characters. The relationships we see in this film between Thor and Loki, Hulk/Banner with Thor and other characters is something that caught my attention, also the way in which they have an interesting development, after everything that happens throughout the film. Lastly, the special effects, CGI and style that this movie has is amazing, very different and much better done than their previous two movies, that's not to mention the sound effects and the fantastic soundtrack that the movie has. Far from being the best superhero movie I have seen from Marvel Studios, I can tell you that it is the best of all the Thor movies I have seen, which has left me with a very good feeling and a good number of unforgettable moments and scenes.

Personally, I give it a 9/10 rating as far as the fantasy, action and superhero genre is concerned.

Tell me, have you seen this movie, what did you think of it? You can leave me your answer in the comments.

All the best.
