Struck By Lightening<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

By SD Martins<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>“Another Marvel superhero movie!?” – groan.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>That’s literally what I said walking into Thor: Ragnarok.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Simply put, I have SOMMS – So Over Marvel Movies Syndrome. Their superhero formula, which was once revolutionary, has now become eye-rollingly redundant.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>As I braced myself for the same tired troops, I was surprised by what I saw.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Not only was Kate Blatchett amazing (I swear that woman can play anything), but the whole movie was really funny and fun to watch.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>As always, the special effects and action sequences were amazing (especially in 3D) and it didn’t look like a cluttered mess that you can’t make heads or karate chops of.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Unlike previous Marvel films, Thor: Ragnarok didn’t rely heavily on fight sequences and special effects to build conflict.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Instead the focus was placed on character growth and making us empathize with their personal struggles.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>This was a welcome change from the witty one-liners and cool sarcasm that we\u2019re usually subjected too (there’s only so much of that you can take before you just don’t care if the character lives or dies).\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>That emotional investment paid off.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>The conflict builds naturally throughout the movie.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>The tension pulls you in, and when a fight scene does break out you\u2019re totally invested – something that special effects alone could never satisfy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>However, this good news is a mixed bowl; it seems that Marvel couldn’t break all their bad habits. Annoying one-dimensional support characters and over using situational comedy were still injected.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Still, it was a great improvement overall.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>The one thing that ran through my mind as the end credits revealed the sneak peek of the next instalment –\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Will lightening strike twice?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
