Thor: Ragnarok is the God of Thunder’s 3rd installment in the Marvel Universe. Loaded with action and humor, Thor: Ragnarok was one of my very favorite Marvel movies to date, and it was a given that it would join our collection as soon as its release was announced.

One of the aspects I’ve really enjoyed about recent Marvel movies is how even with them being about super heroes and otherworldly creatures and gods, they’ve managed to somehow make the story feel pretty grounded and more relatable, in their own grand way. Thor: Ragnarok definitely keeps up that trend for me, with the added bonus of tons of humor. Seriously, I’d say Ragnarok is as much a comedy as it is an action movie, without sacrificing anything on either side.

Part of what makes the story feel so real is the amazing cast. Besides the usual Thor crew, there are great performances by Idris Elba, Karl Urban, Jeff Goldblum, Tessa Thompson, and Cate Blanchett that all come together to give you a way in and a sense for all sides of the story.

But first he must survive a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and fellow Avenger – the Incredible Hulk {Mark Ruffalo} – and grapple with his silver-tongued adopted brother Loki {Tom Hiddleston}, the fierce warrior Valkyrie {Tessa Thompson} and the eccentric Grandmaster {Jeff Goldblum}.
