‘Thor: Ragnarok’ Early Screening Reactions Have Arrived!

Thor: Ragnarok won’t be cancelling the apocalypse until November 3rd, but some lucky critics got to attend an advance screening Sunday night, tweeting their initial reactions in the wee hours. Although full reviews are still under an embargo, the initial reactions still have us psyched about this movie like the early reactions to Spider-Man: Homecoming and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 did.

Quite a few people also praised Tessa Thompson’s turn as Valkyrie:
