Thor: Ragnarok - 10 Reasons It's The Best Thor Movie

9. Chris Hemsworth Gives His Best Performance As Thor

It's fair to say that Chris Hemsworth didn't really have to do all that much in the first two Thor movies beyond be attractive, look tough and occasionally crack wise, and he's certainly been one of the most underserved actors in the main Avengers line-up.

It's a relief, then, that Ragnarok gives him easily the best material of the trilogy, allowing him to deliver a hugely entertaining performance that builds on what came before.

From the delivery of his hilarious one-liners to the one-two dynamic with both Loki and The Hulk, and yes, all the a**-kicking, Hemsworth knocks it out of the park. Fingers crossed that someone at Marvel Studios realised this during production and got him a beefier role in Infinity War.
