Mrs Widds and I saw Thor: Ragnarok last night.
Cate Blanchett chewed scenery wearing a second skin of shiny black, something-or-other, (Loki is no longer the shiniest villain in town) Jeff Goldblum did Jeff Goldblum, Stan Lee’s cameos were funnier when they were shorter and he didn’t speak. The Hulk, did speak.
Many great deeds were done and buckets of blood were shed. Witty quips abounded, and every now and then a hero allowed a single tear to slide down a manly cheek.
It was magnificent.

The poster that says it all
W and I saw it today. Cate Blanchett in black vinyl … “magnificent” indeed!

And the way she … no spoilers … em … moved. It takes a talent I’ll never have in a million years, but I can appreciate. 🙂

Pardon my ignorance, but WTF is the Hulk doing in there! I think I need to get out more!

Well … Did you watch Avengers: Age of Ultron? … um … trying to avoid spoilers here … he does kind of explain. I guess you’ll just have to go see the movie and find out … heh, heh, heh. 😀

We finally saw the first two Thor movies a couple weeks ago. We are definitely ready to see this one!

You’re going to love this one … remember to sit through the credits, to the end. 🙂 … I love how Marvel has used these snippets, both to move the ‘universe’ forward and to say thanks to the fans. 🙂

Thanks for the tip. We usually sit through the credits. The Husband, because he thinks there will be something at the end. Me, because I like to read the credits.

It’s quite mind-boggling to realize just how many people work on a movie these days. 🙂

Hubby and I went to see it last week. Aside from me having to explain some of the plot points to him :-D, we thoroughly enjoyed it too! Magnificent, as you say 🙂

How about that mid-credits scene? … for those who haven’t seen it, I won’t spoil anything but you’ve got to sit through the credits, to the middle … and to the very end. 🙂

Oh yes, had to sit through the credits for the extra scenes (had to explain this to hubby) and yes, setting things up nicely for the next one (no spoilers) 🙂 Fab film!
