I'm a big fan of Thor but I just couldn't bring myself to like what they did to him in this film. I get that he's going through tough times but turning him from being a thundering, huge god to a man-child who shoots lightning is such an ins...

Thor's character is great with the other Avengers, but he just doesn't do that well as a stand-alone character with his own storyline. It's sad because he had so much potential too.

Despite all the hate surrounding this movie, I actually enjoyed it. If you're as big of a fan of "Thor" like me, then you pretty much just like everything that comes out with him on it.

_Ragnarok_ is a tough one to review completely without spoiler, so I'll keep this brief: * I was bothered by a small number of things that happened in this movie. * I was in love with a large number of things that happened in this movie...
