Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
It's fun, it's fast, it's not flawless
I saw the premier last night. This is definitely the best Thor movie, but let's face it... that's not a difficult thing to achieve.
It's fun from the beginning to the end. It's lightning fast, there aren't any dull moments at all, but it's missing a little gravitas. The Thor character has suddenly become the complete opposite of what he's always been. There's hardly any transition. The same goes for Loki. It works though, it just seems a bit off.
The supporting characters are fun. Hulk/Banner is great as always. Valkyrie, Korg, Grandmaster they are all colorful joys to watch.
The villains however were (as always) underwhelming. Skurge, though he gets his minute in spotlight, feels wasted. Hela, though I love the way Blanchett played her, is just a ruthless powermonger. There's hardly any background or reason to some of her actions. And Surtur well, he's just a means to an end (pun intended).
Conclusion: It's good. It really is. You'll laugh, but you'll miss a little seriousness at certain moments in the movie. And like most Marvel movies, the villains don't marvel.
Super Troopers (2001)
Great movie to see with some friends
This movie is one of my favorite pré-party movies. Together with Old School this is the thing that gets you going. The film is hilarious, though it doesn't switch into overkill. Although this isn't a big budget movie, I find it better then most others. This is a good example of how a talented cast and (fairly) good script, can sometimes do more then just Big Bucks. You can actually see, that the actors are having a great time. And that atmosphere will be reflected into your living room.
If you ever feel down, and you need a good laugh, don't think about it twice, just pop it in your DVD-player and run it. You will not regret it.
