His adversary? In this franchise-minded Marvel Cinematic Universe, none other than Hulk (Mark Ruffalo). With his hair swept up like a rooster’s comb, the Grandmaster preens about his ramshackle city, playing DJ at his own parties and presiding over a gladiator-style tournament in which Thor, as his prisoner, is forced to compete. Largely a garbage dump, though punctuated by vibrantly colored shacks here and there, Sakaar is presided over by the Grandmaster (Goldblum). Goldblum anchors the film’s middle section, in which Thor (Chris Hemsworth)-on his way to rescue his home planet of Asgard from a monumental threat-gets sidetracked on the planet of Sakaar. Plus, Jeff Goldblum in blue eyeliner and lipstick. With its interplanetary adventures and psychedelic aesthetic, it’s like a Star Wars spinoff made by people short on sleep because they were binge-watching episodes of Teletubbies. A light, comic touch has been a hallmark of most Marvel movies, but Thor: Ragnarok may be the first one to qualify as slaphappy.ĭominated by bright colors and frequently dazed characters, the movie seems to have both downed a gallon of Mountain Dew and doused itself with it, giggling all the while.
