It's been a couple of years since we last saw a certain Thunder God appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (barring a cameo appearance in last year's Doctor Strange post-credits scene), but now the Odinson has returned - and he's brought along a fellow absentee Avenger who's presence is equally memorable thanks to the circumstances of both heroes' situations. As his journey leads him to the path of Ragnarok, the warrior known as Thor returns to stop an evil long hidden away that threatens to consume his home realm of Asgard and everything he holds dear in the film "Thor: Ragnarok" - the seventeenth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe which brings Chris Hemsworth back as the "God of Thunder" along with Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner and his jade giant alter ego, the Incredible Hulk!
Thanks to Marvel Philippines and Walt Disney Studios PH, I got to see the film in a special premiere screening last October 18th at the new Ayala Vertis North cinema - and indeed it felt like coming to the halls of Valhalla just by walking into a nicely decorated "Thor: Ragnarok" entrance adorned with Asgardian decor and featuring Heimdall's sword in the front! I brought along my trustee comic book version of Mjolnir to represent the Thunder God as well! So without any more delay, here's my review for "Thor: Ragnarok" - which opens in the Philippines on October 25th! SPOILERS MAY FOLLOW, so read at your own risk!
