First off, the cast of this debacle is not to blame for it. Crowe, Hemsworth, Portman, Thompson, etc... have all proven mastery of their art on multiple occasions.
No, the culprit here is Taika Waititi, and while Ragnarok was palatable, but only just, what he did to Love and Thunder borders on criminal negligence for the damage it will do to the reputation of said cast. I will avoid everything he does from now on and speak of him no more.
The ONLY noteworthy character in Love and Thunder is that of the villain, Gorr. Christian Bale's monumental performance stands out even more because virtually every other character is depicted as a one-dimensional, frustrated neurotic on the verge of throwing a toddler tantrum, it is that bad.
The only times this thing has any sort of superhero movie feel to it are the scarce occasions when Bale is in the picture, and on those occasions, it feels like the Gorr scenes were inserted from a completely different movie altogether. Gorr is also the only one I ever felt any sympathy for, as he's the only one who resembles an actual person one can build some kind of rapport with.
I was a toddler in the early 1970's, and I grew up with the original DC and Marvel comics, reading and re-reading about the gods that were my heroes. Watching Love and Thunder, I halfway expected to hear the complete cast join in for the Oompa Loompa song. (Which would have been funnier than all the 'jokes' in the film combined.)
There are no gods in this monstrosity. So sad,... and so bad that I have to wonder if this was done deliberately...

One of the reasons I created an IMDb account is because sometimes, there are things you don't wish upon your worst enemy, and this movie is one of them. Personally, I think this kind of garbage should be rated Z, and it should be made obligatory for this sort of non-productions to have a big fat red Z on the cover so that everyone is warned that the product is an insult to 'below average'.
The acting is awful. The story is awful. The effects, I won't even call them special, are awful. This movie is so awful that even the shoes of the cameraman's nephew's mother in law are awful, and they're not even in it.
To be honest, I'm just trying to fill the 10 lines to get this over with JUST TO WARN QUALITY MOVIE ENTHOUSIASTS NOT TO WASTE THEIR TIME, so I can go do something interesting, like learning how to knit.
Do yourself a favor. Unless your IQ is below 65, don't watch this, because it will go below 65 once you do. What the... Am I drooling??!??
