Marvel’s Thor series has received mixed-to-positive reviews ever since making its thunderous MCU debut in 2011. While the two previous films had great characters and visuals, the story always seemed to be mildly exciting at best and downright bland at its worst. But Thor: Ragnarok is something different. Director Taika Waititi was brought in to helm the third Thor film and it looks to be a great mix of action, drama and humor. But that’s just based off of the trailers. Tonight, the social media embargo has finally been lifted off of the film. So, what critics’ first official reactions to Thor: Ragnarok?

Well in short, critics are absolutely loving it! The film has gotten widespread positive reactions from twitter. The praise goes to the cast, visuals and musical score most of all. See what critics are saying below!

'Thor: Ragnarok' has a few surprises I didn’t know about. One of them is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G and possibly the funniest scene in any @Marvel movie. pic.twitter.com/NRNFeftHyQ — Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) October 9, 2017

Thor: Ragnarok is just plain fun. It's hilarious from start to finish with quirky performances & exciting action. Tessa Thompson is the MVP. pic.twitter.com/7GyYG4IZZ5 — Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) October 9, 2017

THOR RAGNAROK is hilarious & weird & offbeat & retro & sublime. Love how Marvel let Taika Waititi make a movie that's Waititi-ish as hell. — Kevin Polowy (@djkevlar) October 9, 2017

After seeing #ThorRagnarok I can say that @chrishemsworth’s Thor will become many people’s No.1 favorite Avenger. The guy shines in this. — Conner (@ConnerWS) October 9, 2017

‘Thor: Ragnarok’ music/soundtrack is fantastic. And some of the visuals are insane. Seeing again as soon as I can. Another @marvel winner. pic.twitter.com/GgCUEiDcmC — Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) October 9, 2017

#ThorRagnarok is SO much fun I almost can't take it. The best: Thor movie, Cate Blanchett scene stealing, Jeff Goldblum Goldblum-ing. — Kara Warner (@karawarner) October 9, 2017

Hulk is once again the scene-stealer, and a lot of it is that he can finally talk. Great to see him back on the big screen. #ThorRagnarok — Eric Eisenberg (@eeisenberg) October 9, 2017

#ThorRagnarok: a goofy good time. Easily the funniest non-Guardians MCU flick – EVERYONE in it is funny. Great music (Mothersbaugh), fights. — David Daniel @🏠 (@CNNLADavid) October 9, 2017

Thor: Ragnarok makes a thunderous premiere in theatres on November 3, 2017.
