The first two Thor films have not been that well received by film reviewers and audiences, at least on a scale of the other Marvel films. Thor: Ragnarok on the other hand has been all but universally beloved. With a 93% Rotten Tomatoes score, and a box office that might put it on on the top November releases of all time according to BoxofficeMojo.com.

The final feather in Thor's metaphorical cap (side note: I really can't see Thor wearing hat. A helmet, sure... but a hat? No.) is the just released CinemaScore. Thor Ragnrock received a grade that even Bruce Banner would be proud of - an A. That gives Thor: Ragnarok a better score than Bladerunner: 2049, It, and not surprisingly Geostorm.

CinemaScore is the industry leader in measuring movie appeal. We provide unbiased measurement of audience response that helps gauge movie appeal and success by polling movie audiences on opening night for their reaction to the latest major movie releases.

In 1978, CinemaScore was born when its founders saw a need for theatre audiences to have a "public voice" for their opinions about movie appeal. Professional movie critics often dominate public conversations in the news about movies; while movie critics' interpretations are interesting and helpful, their reviews often emphasize a movie's meaning, not whether the movie appealed to live audiences. And while a movie critic only provides a single perspective on a movie, a statistically robust sample of a national audience offers a broader and more varied point of view.

Imprisoned, the mighty Thor finds himself in a lethal gladiatorial contest against the Hulk, his former ally. Thor must fight for survival and race against time to prevent the all-powerful Hela from destroying his home and the Asgardian civilization. Thor: Ragnarock currently has an 84.74 Comicbook.com composite rating which puts it at number 6 on the all time favorite comic book films.
