'Thor: Ragnarok' reviews: Reasons why it is a must-watch

It can be recalled that in "Avengers: Age of Ultron," Thor (Chris Hemsworth) was urging to go back to Asgard; so, "Thor: Ragnarok's" story is set back in his home on the other side of the universe. Now that Marvel has released the third installment of Thor, it is acclaimed as the best of all Thor movies by far. And here's why:

First off, the characters have matured, especially Thor. Having spent time on earth fighting with the Avengers trying to save the world, it is safe to say that the new Thor is "a lot grubbier," according to the film's director Taika Waititi. Also, there is no denying that there's growth in the characters of Loki (Tom Hiddleston), the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and Thor. This was backed up by Hemsworth during one of his interviews. Perhaps, saying goodbye to his sexy long locks did the trick, or didn't it?

Second, the movie focused on Thor and Loki's relationship this time. There may be the hero–villain sign tainted on their connection, but there's one thing their differences cannot take away from them: they are brothers.

Thor is also noticeably apathetic toward his brother who, after faking his death in the last Thor movie, now rules over Asgard, and Loki finds his brother's lack of care troublesome, knowing how he had always wanted to matter and be somebody.

Also, the Hulk made such a wonderful beast in this movie. He is cute, he is lovely — he's the hero everyone's rooting for, especially on the last part. It seems like no one is aware of how Hulk can have different characters and moods, but in this movie, he's just great. He can also be seen playing opposite his co-Avenger, but that doesn't mean he's the bad guy.

Meanwhile, any superhero movie will not be complete without a villain and Hela (Cate Blanchett) made sure of that. She is such a great character that anyone who will see her will freak out. Hela, the Asgardian goddess of death, plays as the major antagonist of the movie and everyone hates her. The greatness of her power is one of a kind that she would give Thor, and even Loki, a hard time defeating her.

Lastly, the movie is filled with sense of humor. "Thor: Ragnarok" is so unpredictable that nobody ever anticipated it could make people laugh, thanks to the very spontaneous script and story flow.

The movie is showing on over 2,000 cinema locations (domestic and international).
