My Thoughts

I give the Thor: Ragnarok Blu-ray a B.

My first impression of this Blu-ray is that it’s a colorful, fun, and adventurous ride.

Thor may not be my favorite superhero as I’m more of a DC fan, but there are a few things that I did like about him.  It seemed like in some ways he’s a little naive but is ready for anything that comes his way. Well, considering he is the God of Thunder, I loved when he tapped into his powers during the scene with Hulk.

My favorite thing about Marvel films are the Stan Lee cameos.  I think the one in this film is probably one of his best and my favorite.  I always look forward to seeing him pop up in a random scene in any of these films.

Don’t forget to check out the special features on this Blu-ray.  I actually get disappointed when a Blu-ray doesn’t have special features.  I like seeing scenes that maybe didn’t make it into the final film or in this case, the gag reel.

If you like action, comedy, and adventure this Blu-ray is definitely a must see.  Catch Thor: Ragnarok out on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital March 6th!
