Summary
Reviewers say 'Thor: Love and Thunder' is lauded for its humor, action, and Christian Bale's performance. Criticisms include over-the-top comedy, inconsistent tone, and underutilized characters. The film continues 'Thor: Ragnarok's' style but struggles with balancing humor and serious themes. Visuals and lead chemistry are appreciated, yet some find the plot rushed and humor excessive. Jane Foster's introduction as Mighty Thor is generally well-received, though her arc feels underdeveloped. The film is entertaining but less impactful than previous Thor movies.
Featured reviews
*Thor: Love and Thunder* is a significant misstep in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While it attempts to balance humor, action, and emotional depth, the film ultimately falls short in delivering a satisfying narrative.
Taika Waititi's signature comedic style, which was successful in *Ragnarok*, feels overused and forced in this installment. The film's tone is inconsistent, veering between slapstick humor and serious drama without finding a cohesive balance. The introduction of Jane Foster as Mighty Thor is a promising concept, but it is underutilized and feels rushed.
Christian Bale's portrayal of Gorr the God Butcher is wasted potential. The character is introduced as a formidable villain but is quickly reduced to a one-dimensional antagonist. The film's exploration of grief and loss is superficial, lacking the emotional depth necessary to resonate with the audience.
The action sequences, while visually impressive, lack the impact of previous Thor films. The plot is predictable, with several plot holes and inconsistencies. The film's overall message is unclear, leaving the audience feeling unsatisfied.
*Thor: Love and Thunder* is a disappointing entry in the MCU, squandering the potential of its premise and characters. It's a film that prioritizes humor over substance, resulting in a shallow and forgettable experience.

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.
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.
Movie is okay. Christian Bale is awesome, Chris still can't act, but we never liked him for his talent, rest of the cast brings what they have to the whole movie is an average Disney factory work, everyone knows their job and they execute is as they should. The story has too many silly jokes. I know Waititi's style, but now he feels like his own parody. Like those Scream parody Scary Movies.
