Trailer
Why watch this film?
Taika Waititi (“What We Do in the Shadows”) has taken over the Marvel Thor franchise to shake things up - most of the supporting cast is out (mainly on Earth) and plenty of humor, along with a style reminiscent of Jack Kirby's work in comics, is in. One of the film's merits also brings another hero into the mix: the Hulk, in a story that blends elements of comic book series like "Champions Challenge" and "Planet Hulk." Although it may not please those who preferred a more restrained tone for Thor, the feature was a success - with an ending that directly connects with “Avengers: Infinity War.”

From the same director
Hunt for the Wilderpeople
Deliciously funny comedy from director Taika Waititi, the same of 'Thor: Ragnarok' and 'What We Do in the Shadows'. The movie brings an interesting view on family life, nature and childhood. If you like to laugh, here's a great choice.
What We Do In the Shadows
Hilarious mockumentary-style movie depicting the lives of some vampires in modern-day New Zealand. A pleasant surprise, which catapulted Taika Waititi from his previously sparse roles in the US to being the new darling director of Marvel Studios.
Jojo Rabbit
'Jojo Rabbit' is undoubtedly one of the most surprising movies of the 2019-2020 awards season. Director Taika Waititi ('What We Do in the Shadows' and 'Thor: Ragnarok') uses a child's mind to present the evils of extremism with a lot of humor. In the name of leaders we never see and through brainwashing we prefer not to see, we fight wars, repeat prejudices and preach ideals that have little to do with ourselves. Special mention for the performances of Scarlett Johansson, Sam Rockwell and Waititi himself, but the show is really from young Roman Griffin Davis and Thomasin McKenzie. It is definitely not a story for all tastes and there is more drama and tears than the funny trailers let on, but it is certainly a movie that needs to be seen - and unfortunately and frighteningly, echoes a lot of today's world.
Thor: Love and Thunder
The fourth solo adventure of Thor - and the second directed by Taika Waititi - is a breath of fresh air for those experiencing Marvel and big shared universe fatigue. That's because 'Thor: Love and Thunder' finally brings back a self-centered story that doesn't require prior knowledge and delivers everything you need to know to understand the plot. Like in 'Thor: Ragnarok', this adventure invests in humor and jokes, making the titular character lighter. However, at the same time, the movie manages to bring some more dramatic (and even melodramatic) layers, evoking subthemes such as love, life, death, religion, empowerment and paternity. In this sense, the script knows how to get the most out of its star, Chris Hemsworth, while Natalie Portman's return offers more of her performance. Already Christian Bale, famous for being Christopher Nolan's Batman, manages to bring an interesting villain - albeit underutilized. Yes, there is an excess of themes and a polished script with better worked dialogues is missing, but still the work brings some good reflections - while empowering those who watch, especially those who are or have gone through difficult health moments or the loss of loved ones.
Next Goal Wins
Filmmaker Taika Waititi takes on the true –albeit with considerable creative liberties– story of the American Samoa national football team and their humiliating 31-0 defeat against Australia in 2001, and the coach hired to turn the team around. 'Next Goal Wins' follows coach Thomas Rongen (Michael Fassbender), who, after hitting rock bottom in his personal life and being fired from the MLS, is recruited by the Polynesian team. Waititi fans from movies like 'Jojo Rabbit' or 'Thor: Ragnarok' will enjoy it, although it should be noted that some of its humor can be insensitive and even problematic.
Action
Bloodsport
Jean-Claude Van Damme makes his starring debut in the descriptively titled Bloodsport. An American soldier at large in Hong Kong, Van Damme becomes involved in the Kumite, a highly illegal kickboxing competition. Whoever survives the bout will be crowned Kumite champion of the world…a title that has plenty of challengers with homicide in their hearts. The finale offers a duel to the death between Van Damme and reigning Kumite king Bolo Yeung. The script is based on the real-life exploits of martial arts champ Frank Dux, who serves as the film's fight coordinator.
War on Terror: KL Anarchy
Khalid, a rebellious cop from an elite special force must prove he is able to work as a team in order to thwart terrorist threats to bring down Kuala Lumpur.
The Order
In The Order, Van Damme plays a man accused of murder who seeks a sacred scripture in Jerusalem before it falls into the wrong hands, jeopardizing his freedom. With shades of Dan Brown and a script by Jean Claude Van Damme himself, alongside Les Weldon (screenwriter of another action star film, Replicant), the movie is what every fan of the Belgian actor wants: brawling, with a fun plot, and never boring.
Enemies Closer
Enemies Closer, a movie starring Van Damme, brings a fun story: Henry (Tom Everett Scott) and Clay (Orlando Jones) are mortal enemies who must set aside their differences to help a drug lord (Jean-Claude Van Damme) locate a missing drug shipment. The film features a plot full of twists that keeps the viewer constantly engaged, in a good mix of suspense and action. Van Damme also steps out of his comfort zone, playing this crime boss full of quirks - but still with plenty of brawling.
