Thor: Ragnarok - Official Trailer Review

Thor: Ragnarok - Official Trailer Review


The second trailer for Thor: Ragnarok, the next film in the MCU has arrived. Does it deliver? 

Thoughts: There is so much in this trailer that excites me. Firstly, off the bat; does it reveal too much? Potentially, but I think it's riding the line. I think for now, it's on the safe side of not revealing too much, with some old footage but enough new footage to be good. 

Thor is back, and he's back in a big, and funny way. The joke between him and Banner lands so well, and their chemistry seems to be genuine and great onscreen. Hela, played by Cate Blanchett, also looks to be a menacing presence in the film. Unlike Spider-Man: Homecoming, where the villain has a legitimate motivation, Hela is the goddess of death and does not need a sympathetic motivation.

The action also looks incredible, with some slow motion shots of Hela fighting the Valkyries. The visual style is so unique. It's colorful, like Guardians 2, but it's so unique to this film that I can't help but love it.

We do see a couple villains that we knew or suspected would be in the film: Fenris Wolf and Surtur. Both are great additions to the film, although I worry that Marvel may waste these two amazing villains as just bosses in the way to get to Hela, or maybe Surtur would be the end game to get to Hela. 

We do get to see Hulk talking as well, with the end tag, and we do see a powered up Thor. This film looks incredible so far with these two trailers. 

Did it Raise Excitement? My expectations were already through the roof, so to say that may expectations were raised would be difficult, but I am as excited, if not more so. This film is going to be amazing. 



Trailer Rating: 9.5/10
