Thor: Love and Thunder

We can say that "Thor: Love and Thunder" tries to keep the comedy success from Thor: Ragnarok, but it goes way overboard. The jokes that worked before now just feel forced and exaggerated. I'm all for a good laugh, but this movie throws in jokes that don't fit the scene at all, making them come off as awkward rather than funny.

And don't get me started on Gorr. In the comics, he's a terrifying villain, but in this movie, he barely gets any screen time and ends up feeling pretty average. It's such a letdown because Christian Bale is an amazing actor, and he doesn't get to show us what Gorr as a villain can do.

Well overall, "Thor: Love and Thunder" misses the mark. It could have used a better balance between humor and drama and given its villain the attention he deserved.

Wow as a HUGE! Marvel fan I'm shocked at how bad this was. So many cliché jokes, no character development, and Chris Hemsworth is no longer an actor in my opinion but a Disney prop just generating revenue with the same old schtick. I personally think Disney buys reviews because how these disasters just debut with higher rating and falter when us fans speak our mind is shocking. Only good thing was I was able to go see Back Phone after 80 mins of this crap and actually found a movie I really enjoyed that I normally wouldn't have seen. Way better filmmaking and acting. The jokes in this Thor aren't even funny, it's like they try to get the audience to laugh with them but we end up laughing at them. Films don't care about good storytelling anymore, they want to be "politically correct" and enlighten us with how they want us to think. All hogwash. Save your money. Disney is 3rd rate.

Thor: Love and Thunder does attempt to explore themes of love and loss whilst introducing the Mighty Thor and putting Thor on a journey of self discovery. However, it sadly doesn't work as well as it should due to a rushed pace and way too many jokes that are almost never funny.

Chris Hemsworth is still going strong as Thor but the extreme goofiness is getting a little stale. Natalie Portman has never been better as this character and Tessa Thompson is still great as Valkyrie, even though she doesn't really get much to do.

Taika Waititi massively overstays his welcome as Korg this time, who becomes very annoying really fast. Christian Bale is one of the better MCU villains with a good motivation and an unsettling presence but is let down by limited screen time.

Takia's direction on the other hand is stronger, there's some nice visual imagery and the colour palette is pretty vibrant but the MCU grey is still present throughout sadly. The CG is consistently inconsistent from start to finish.

The music by Michael Giacchino is fine, there's one new theme that's pretty memorable but the lack of Thor's theme is annoying. The soundtrack is really good, all the songs are classics that fit the tone and style well but some could have been used better.

One of the worst movies ever. Horrible acting. Horrible dialogue. Horrible colors. Taika Waititi is an overrated hack. He kept running the same jokes into the ground. The kid playing Axel or whatever was one of the worst actors I've ever seen.

The ones who know a bit about norse mythology or at least have read some of Thor's comics know that he isn't just a jester guy with a hammer. Sadly in MCU Thor was only once really Thor and it was in Avengers: Infinity War, where we finally feel that he is the protector of Midgard and the God of thunder as in mythology. I'm not saying that Taika Waititi is a bad director, but the fact is he wrote and directed this empty movie with some jokes. He could maybe make a great Deadpool movie but Thor should have been more than this. Even Christian Bale's outstanding performance as Gorr couldn't save it. The real Thor fans aren't going to enjoy this movie.
