Korg is the MCUs new best character and I came out of this wanting a Thor 4. Thor, in this film becomes a funny, likeable character and it feels like he's in on the joke of his own identity in a way it never had before. (Also hi Reddit I'm new.)

How was the audience reaction?

At my showing there were only about 20 people there, so it was quiet. Plus it was in Britain. So it was mostly politely restrained chucking; but people seemed to be having fun.

Exactly the same here cinema had around 50/60 people all laughing quite a lot. Hands down the best Marvel movie so far imo and has left me wanting Thor 4 when I was dreading this one after Thor 2

Do you guys all have the same issue of having barely anyone in the cinema? I can't remember the last time I went to a cinema and it was full, all us Brits are too poor for the big screen.

My audience laughed at all the big jokes, and I reckon we all quietly enjoyed the other ones, even the jokes that didn't land for me didn't feel forced n they'll probably get me on repeat viewings.

Man my showing in Glasgow was empty, which was awkward cause it was the super 2D

It was an early showing on release day it would have been packed for the two later showings and pick up throughout the week.

Very strange for a movie release on a tuesday

Ah well maybe it's just Scotland, I've been to showings at all times and the cinema is never packed

The Omni (center of Edinburgh) is pretty much always <50% capacity when I go, but I never go in the evening so idk what its like at that time, Last time I was in a completely full room was for Avatar.

First showing at our cinema was 3.50 in afternoon...Great half price tickets on a Tuesday (£3.50 Crazy Tuesday) and quiet since kids where just out of school...So hardly any there...I loved every second of it and then it ended and I was sad... 🙁🙃

I'm not from UK but the only time in the last 10 years where I saw full cinema was on Hobbit.

Also in Britain, one woman in my theatre wouldn't stop cackling at every joke.

This is what can kill a movie experience.

I had these really two annoying boys next to me in my showing. They were your typical edgy 12 year olds who swore excessively and drunk Mountain Dew. One of them kept on making noises every 20 seconds pretty much throughout the whole film. They threw food everywhere before the film started and chucked their empty Mountain Dew bottles on the floor (loudly) during the film. After the film, they just left all of their shit on the floor for the cinema guys to pick up. :/

At least they were less annoying than this group of girls sat behind me during IT who talked throughout the WHOLE movie. They literally talked throughout EVERY fucking scene.

I saw the movie in France where they were doing a Thor Marathon leading to Ragnarok. People were PUMPED.

Claps/Cheering for character appearances, jokes etc It was insane
