Much like singing clucking chickens, screeching goats (and giant superpowerful goats at that) are never not funny, and worth the price of admission just for that!

Few funny moments aside, it was a shit film, Christian Bale was the exception and deserved better for his performance.

Ragnarok got the tone largely right, but this skewed way too far into comedy to the point that it largely disregarded the characterisation. There’s a really solid villain there (and you have Christian Bale!!) so it’s sad that it became a wasted opportunity.

Thor has ALWAYS been comedy! As eccentric and OTT as this movie? No. But he was always used as the comedic relief and it showed in the first 2 movies (which weren't Taika) as well. This is my 2nd fave of the Thor movies, but it's bottom 10 MCU for me. Apart from 'Ragnarok', Thor just doesn't do much for me on his own and I prefer him when he is involved in big ensemble casts. I actually didn't/don't mind this as much as others though. It's just pure nonsensical fun. Christian Bale was incred, but he really should've been a multi-movie villain.
