By Hoai-Tran Bui/Aug. 2, 2017 6:30 am EST Thor: Ragnarok isn’t going to be like any previous Thor movie. That much was clear when the Thor: Ragnarok trailer was set to a rollicking synth soundtrack and Thor gave a scream of joy when he saw Hulk burst out of the arena. “I know him! He’s a friend from work!” Thor shouts at the crowd and Jeff Goldblum’s perplexed Grandmaster.

But It’s Not Quite Enough IFC The power goes out, lives are increasingly at risk, and patriarch Robert is unhinged almost from the get-go. Healy’s performance is a hoot, playing the character as if he’s gunning for a trophy that reads World’s Worst Father.
