Oppenheimer is indisputably one of the best films of the century. The production is an intense character study of one of the world's most complicated scientists whose mark on the world was lesser known to the general public, until now. Christopher Nolan creates a spectacular and unsettling story that is complete with suspense and ethical difficulties. Cillian Murphy is amazing in one of the most enthralling performances of his career. The story has numerous characters and each cast member brings a spectacular addition to the story. RDJ plays a disturbing role, Florence Pugh plays a tragic part, and even Tom Conti plays a charming Albert Einstein. The final scene is so impactful it will leave a lasting imprint on your psyche.

Love and Thunder is good but still somewhat lacking. The flow is awkward and the editing seems disheveled. The funny lines are bland jokes and don't really add substantial humor to the conversations. The special effects are dull, but the camerawork and the color is actually rather great.

The characters were hit or miss. Thor is now portrayed as a moron and does not seem like his usual character from his many other appearances in Marvel movies. That said, Chris Hemsworth does deliver a fantastic performance and his comedic timing is always excellent. Unfortunately, it is not enough to redeem the film. Zeus was not as exciting as he could have been. Jane Foster had decent chemistry with Thor, but her backstory is shallow. Gorr, played by Christian Bale, was a good surprise and was quite unsettling as an antagonist. It is too bad he wasn't in more scenes, so he didn't seem that ominous.

Overall though, the action was superb and the final conclusion was satisfying to watch.

Excellent action thriller with an astonishingly weak ending. The main characters are phenomenal in their roles and the supporting characters are immensely entertaining. The villain felt somewhat underdeveloped, but hopefully this will be updated in future sequels.
