Thor: Ragnarok opened to 5-star reviews on Friday. Film critic Raja Sen said that
Thor: Ragnarok is 'the funniest superhero film of all time." He wrote: "
Thor: Ragnarok is a true rock and roll original, and the reason it exists is because there's a director (Taika Waititi) who's sure all that titters is gold."

Thor: Ragnarok is the best-reviewed Marvel film ever with 96 per cent rating.
