Thor (Hemsworth) is back after his discovery in Age of Ultron that someone has been collecting Infinity Stones. While looking for answers, he uncovers a prophecy which tells of the beginning of Ragnarok and the end of Asgard. As he quite likes his home, he sets out to stop it. Unfortunately, Hela (Blanchett) is keen to do some major Asgardian redecorating after having been banished for many years. Hela is more than a match for Thor, which leads to him being stranded at the edge of the universe where he meets a few familiar faces in his quest to return home and save Asgard.

Kiwi director Waititi takes Ragnarok in a new direction capitalising on the ‘Asgardian out of water’ that Thor often is. Waititi also steals the show voicing Korg, who is hilarious. There is a lot of comedy woven into the film, a brilliant appearance from Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk is wonderful, and Cate Blanchett is almost unrecognisable as the thoroughly villainous Hela. I loved this film. It was a breath of fresh air for Marvel plus Loki (Hiddleston) is one of my favourite characters and delivers perfectly.
