Where to Watch Thor: Ragnarok in the UK

Thor: Ragnarok has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Disney Plus. It knows exactly what kind of film it is from the opening scene, and never loses that thread. With 22,317 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Chris Hemsworth leads a cast with real comic timing. Put it on tonight on Disney Plus and see for yourself.

Thor: Ragnarok is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Thor: Ragnarok does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Thor is imprisoned on the other side of the universe and finds himself in a race against time to get back to Asgard to stop Ragnarok, the destruction of his home-world and the end of Asgardian civilization, at the hands of a powerful new threat, the ruthless Hela. Between them, Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo carry the comedy without ever forcing it. It hit screens in 2017. The timing in Thor: Ragnarok is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

Thor: Ragnarok is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Chris Hemsworth is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
