The best Marvel movies are the ones which take up Thor's hammer and smash the established format to pieces.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier was a bold spy mystery, while Guardians of the Galaxy was a cosmic mash-up of space opera, comedy and retro tunes.

Ragnarok isn't afraid to reinvent Thor. That much was painstakingly obvious as soon as we saw the rainbow space-age font and rocking soundtrack featured in the trailers.

Thor's third solo outing is a far cry from the Shakespearean tale Kenneth Branagh weaved with the original film, not that its predecessors were bad or anything - but this time it's all about fun and adventure.

The God of Thunder is the last person you'd expect to see in Jeff Goldblum's cosmic gladiator pit, but this fish-out-of-water approach is the best thing that could have happened to him.
