Hela was co-created by one of the greatest comic artists of all time, Jack Kirby, and, unlike some superhero movies (ahem, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer), Ragnarok dives deeply into Kirby's incredible designs. The most lovable of the new characters is the gentle, blue rockpile-revolutionary warrior Korg, voiced winningly by Waititi. Among the newcomers, Thompson shines as the conflicted, swaggering, too-cool-for-Asgard Valkyrie (though her alcoholism-of-the-gods drinking problem isn't addressed at all by the film). Even Anthony Hopkins, as Odin, gets to have some fun doing his version of Odin-as-played-by-Loki. The return of Ruffalo's Hulk is more than welcome - so much so that the only complaint with the film's eye-popping action is there isn't enough of him in the final battle. He's actually evolving into the great king he must become, while getting funnier with each appearance. We've seen hints of it before, but Ragnarok fully unlocks Hemsworth's Thor as a likable comic figure capable of personal growth. Not ony does Waititi stir these ingredients together with the aplomb of a mad-but-brilliant chef, but he boldly adds his own special sauce with his quirky humor and even the use of Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" as a kind of new, perfectly chosen theme for Thor.
Ragnarok has dragons and demons and the Goddess of Death, spaceships and lasers and wormholes, gladiatorial combat and revolution, and even some magic in the form of a Doctor Strange ( Benedict Cumberbatch) crossover. Director Taika Waititi and the screenwriters have realized that all these things exist simultaneously in this ever-expanding storytelling cosmos, and they embrace it all. It's as gonzo-funny as the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, it steps up the sci-fi from those and the Avengers entries, it expands on the best mythological threads of the previous Thor films, it introduces exciting sword-and-sorcery action, and it even allows for real, believable character growth. Thor: Ragnarok is a triumphant unification of diverse MCU elements.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe's most audacious entry so far, Thor's third stand-alone movie goes there with wild, bold choices - and it succeeds, epically, on many levels. There's a theme of facing major, traumatic change that will have ripples throughout future Marvel titles and may have an impact on younger viewers characters also display positive traits including courage and perseverance. One character drinks a lot, but it's not treated as a serious problem. Language includes "ass" and "s-t," as well as adolescent humor-style references to masturbation and orgies. You can also expect plenty of big, explosive comic book-style moments. Violence will probably be the main issue for most parents: Characters die (including tons of nameless bad guys), villain Hela can be very scary, and there's more slashing and stabbing than in other Marvel movies, though it's still mostly gore-free and non-graphic.
It's much less serious and dark than the previous Thor installments (especially The Dark World) humor/tone-wise, it's a lot more like Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man.

Parents need to know that Thor: Ragnarok is the third chapter in Marvel's solo-superhero series about the ancient god of thunder, Thor ( Chris Hemsworth) - and the first to be directed by cult favorite Taika Waititi ( What We Do in the Shadows).
