THOR Ragnarok- See It! #Review #THORragnarok

THOR Ragnarok- A Must See For The Entire Family!

ThorA

Recently, we had the opportunity to check out the newest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — Thor: Ragnarok. Being the third movie in the franchise, I was excited to see the return of one of my favorite Avengers, since he has not been featured in some of the more recent films. After the wait, I couldn’t have been more excited to see not only Thor, but also The Incredible Hulk making their way to the screen in this film. From beginning to end, Thor: Ragnarok is an awesome adventure, jam-packed with laughs and incredible fight scenes. http://marvel.com/thor

Ragnarok is fantastic, and the tone is immediately set within the first few minutes of the movie. While previous Thor films focused more on a serious story and heavy action, Ragnarok takes a much more fun approach. With villains and heroes both cracking jokes, the movie flows perfectly, and this is not to say that it doesn’t have a fair share of action in its own right. Ragnarok not only features some of the best jokes in recent movies, but also some of the most intense fight sequences yet in Marvel films. The opening battle alone left me with my jaw open, and I couldn’t believe some of the scenes that came later in the film.

With an awesome soundtrack that finds a perfect balance between 1970’s rock and roll Led Zeppelin and beautiful orchestral score, Thor: Ragnarok sets a new standard for the musical aspect of Marvel films. Music-based sequences played in an almost Guardians of the Galaxy-esque fashion, as Thor fights against enemies set to Zeppelin’s famous “Immigrant Song.” Ragnarok hits the nail on the head when it comes to blending elements together, whether in the music with the combination of rock and orchestral pieces, or in the dialogue between powerful speeches and quick wisecracks.

It was great to see some of the characters make their return in this movie. Tom Hiddleston makes an outstanding return to his role as Loki, Thor’s trickster brother who dances on the line of good and bad in the film. The movie’s villain, a newcomer to the franchise, also stands out as one of the best parts. With her ruthless fighting techniques and unstoppable power, this proves to be one of the first times in which Thor and Loki must band together and combine their power to take down a much greater threat.

Overall, Thor: Ragnarok was one of the best Marvel movies released so far! After 10 years of seeing these films in the theaters, Ragnarok managed to bring totally new aspects to the table, and completely blow me away with some incredible cinematic moments. The movie also sets the tone right for the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War, which will be making its way to theaters in 2018. After many years of making films, Marvel knows how to keep the action fun, the stories interesting, and my family at the edge of our seats the entire time. Ragnarok is a wild ride, and definitely a movie that comic book and movie fans alike do not want to miss.

Guillermo Del Toro Announces Tales of Arcadia Trilogy Series #Netflix

Guillermo Del Toro Announces Tales of Arcadia Trilogy Series on Netflix!trollEmmy-Winning Netflix original series DreamWorks TrollHunters is first installment of

three-part epic from DreamWorks Animation Television

Trollhunters Part 2 premieres exclusively on Netflix December 15,
with companion series 3 Below and Wizards set for 2018 and 2019

troll1

On Monday evening during a preview screening of DreamWorks Trollhunters Part 2, creator and executive producer Guillermo del Toro announced that the world of Trollhunters will expand to become a trilogy of series called Tales of Arcadia.

On the surface, Arcadia appears to be a slice of timeless Americana, but it is no ordinary town. It lies at the center of magical and mystical lines that will make it a nexus for many battles among otherworldly creatures including trolls, aliens and wizards. DreamWorks Trollhunters, the first installment in the Tales of Arcadia trilogy, will be followed by two additional series 3 Below in 2018 and a final chapter Wizards set to debut in 2019.

Following Trollhunters, DreamWorks 3 Below will focus on two royal teenage aliens and their bodyguard who flee a surprise takeover of their home planet by an evil dictator and crash land in Arcadia. Now on the run from intergalactic bounty hunters, they struggle to blend in and adapt to the bizarre world of high school all the while attempting to repair their ship so they can return and defend their home planet.

DreamWorks Wizards brings together the three disparate worlds of trolls, aliens and wizards who have found themselves drawn to Arcadia. The final chapter of the Tales of Arcadia culminates in an apocalyptic battle for the control of magic that will ultimately determine the fate of these supernatural worlds that have now converged.

Premiering in 2016 to critical acclaim, Trollhunters introduced audiences to the seemingly quiet town of Arcadia and an ordinary kid who embarks on an extraordinary adventure in a hidden world right beneath his feet featuring the voices of Anton Yelchin, Kelsey Grammer, Ron Perlman, Steven Yeun, Anjelica Huston and more. The first season lead the Creative Arts Daytime Emmys with six wins, more than any other program, including writing for an animated program (Marc Guggenheim), directing (Rodrigo Blaas, del Toro), casting (Ania O’Hare, Mary Hildalgo) and a voice acting win for Grammer.

DreamWorks Trollhunters is created and executive produced by del Toro with Marc Guggenheim (Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow), Rodrigo Blaas (Alma) and Chad Hammes (Dragons: Race to the Edge) and Christina Steinberg (Rise of the Guardians) serving as executive producers. Dan Hageman (The Lego Movie, Ninjago) and Kevin Hageman (The Lego Movie, Ninjago) serve as co-executive producers.
