I thoroughly enjoyed Ragnarok, for all its inherent sillyness, more so because self-important Thor films have thus far come across as cumbersome and, at times, laughable, for the wrong reasons. Waititi embraced the daftness of the character and the universe and went with it. What lets the film down is the standard Marvel plotting. If they had a 100 minute cut that failed with audiences, it was likely because it was too po-faced without having a real emotional center to it. Waititi (and what he got out of his cast) made this film by adding in all the irreverence to bring some actual heart and dimension to the characters.
