After a rocky start, Thor Love and Thunder is able to find its footing during delivering a fun and despondent Thor adventure filled with a tremendous amount of heart.
It is no surprise that this film is far from perfect, and that is not more evident than the beginning of the film. The entire first act feels so disjointed and rushed. You get thrown plot point after plot point and get whipped from planet to planet which results in the viewer not being able to lock in on the story. I really enjoyed the scenes we got from Gorr and Jane during this act, but they felt a little underdeveloped and rushed. The comedy was a little thick during this section, some jokes completely missed, but it was nothing that was overbearing that it hurt the experience. Once the movie enters the second act and begins focusing on Jane the entire gets much better. It is here where you can really see the balance that Taika Waititi brought during Ragnarök with some moments rivaling the best from that film. The ending of this film has some really great action and cinematography, some may argue it's among the best in the MCU. As the movie credits rolled, I was very satisfied to the conclusion of this film and am ready for more Thor action in the future.
The acting all around was excellent in this film, I found the dynamic between Jane and Thor worked much better than in previous films. They had real chemistry on screen, and you could feel the love the two previously shared unearth with each additional scene. There are some really great conversations that dive into their relationship that were done fantastically. Christian Bale was menacing as Gorr, his demeanor was sinister and completely unhinged as he delivered crazy laughs while delivering his villain manifesto. It gave me serious flashbacks to Heath Ledger’s Joker. I just wish we got to see more of him in the film, but the bit we did see was top tier villainy in the MCU.
The music in this film blends with the scenes very well. When the Guns N' Roses guitar starts playing you know it is about to go down and I could not help but smile. While the beginning of this film was bad, I can admit, the ending was so great that it averaged out the movie and made it a very enjoyable experience.
Verdict: Good
Score: 7/10
Tessa and Natalie can crush me with their bare hands. please do.
I enjoyed it much more than most of the latest movies and shows; but that's not saying much. I loved Gorr as the villain, at some points he was even scarier than Scarlett Witch in Dr Strange 2. Is the movie silly? Maybe. It has the same vibe as Raganarok (which i still think is better than this one, tho); it has Taika's brand all over the place, the music was great (maybe a little over the top, but fits much better than the music battle than the Stranges had). The plot was weak to be fair, but Bale's Gorr had you invested. Could have had a little more fight and maybe less jokes, but we saw in Ragnarok that this formula works fine with Thor (at least much better that whatever they tried to do with the first two). That tease at "Roy Kent's Hercules" had me pumped. I think is a pretty solid movie, a good enough 6 (one point extra because of Bale's performance, which tbh, is much more that we can say about a lot of movies AND series of Marvel since Endgame).
All camp and a whole lot of fun. Lots of cameos from the Marvel Universe. Thor is charming. Thor is beautiful. Thors are mighty. Thor collides with a quest for love. My exit interviews, of approximate 20-25 people, yielded scores from 8 to 10 (with two 11s). I had a blast! I give this movie a 9 (total campy fun) out of 10. [Marvel Superheroes]
I gave it a 6, it honestly is closer to like a 6.5 but people tend to inflate movies they want to like and I won't.
The story is fine, not great, fine. The acting is campy, almost intentionally so. It's full of jokes that just don't always hit and overwhelming deus ex machina.
Christian Bale fits the role wonderfully.
I want to think the content cut from the original 4 hour script would make it better, but honestly I think we likely got the best version in this edit.
Like Ragnarok, this is a comedy. Thor is now a comedy film of a character who endlessly suffers. This film addresses that, that while he has his thunder he has no love as he lost it repeatedly.
As a film, it's rather weak. It's a very basic story and felt like it had no point. But perhaps it's just a Thor story, like watching a chapter from the Thor comics of one of his adventures.
What I liked the most was that they made Thor a father. A good way to have him regain his love and gain purpose in his life and in future movies. Also, makes the new child a candidate for the Young Avengers that phase 4 is building up. The comedy is good, I usually hate comedies but Taika is great at it. And the fighting in the Shadow Realm was very visually appealing.
The worst part of this film is Jane. And it's not that she's here but more that she's gone in just one movie. Essentially deleting her character and even the possibility of Lady Thor. This movie also lacks a bit of the charm of Taika's films, like Ragnarok had. This was more of his comedy and less of his story writing. Yet, like most of Phase 4, I cannot be mad because this is a build up to a greater story... especially the ending.
I think we need to talk about the weirdly racist Russell Crowe scene that just completely threw the film off track and never really recovered.
Otherwise, I liked what they were trying to achieve and say here. Whether they accomplished that is questionable.
Though the movie is entertaining, you can just tell Taika Waititi wrote the screenplay and directed it. Since there’s too much Taika Waititi/Korg and not even enough of the Guardians of the Galaxy. As well as too much humor.
There is plenty heart and drama as well though. Which won me over in the end. Though yeah it is still too goofy at times.
Enjoyable movie, in line with the other marvel movies. There's nothing new in this one either, marvel is churning out same old formula. Christian bale made quick bucks with a character that could be played by pretty much anybody. He did good job though, there's just nothing much to do. Like they say, it's a theme park movie and overall its good enough. If you enjoy Marvel movies, then u will like this one as well. Those two goats with the weird ass voice were the real GOAT.
This is more of a comedic superhero movie than anything else.
I enjoyed the movie but it’s a 7/10 for me. Don’t get your hopes up
Glad we get to see a bit of Thor’s mystical power (safe to say thor has inherited the odin force) on how he unknowingly spoke an enchantment onto Mjölnir therefore making Jane worthy.
“Nice” movie

Classic marvel movie : technically excellent (especially the shadow realm) but plot-wise the usual. Gorr best villain of the whole Marvel saga in my opinion ; he looks cool, very good Christian Bale in acting and his world is fantastic in design level and the absence of colors gave that extra touch. Also good was Chris Hemsworth in playing the god of thunder. I was not particularly crazy about Portman, however. Shitty ending, but as I said, classic Marvel movie.
5.5/10
Not the best, I expected more of it. But still enjoyable!
When can I watch it

It takes the parody seen in Thor 3 to another level. I liked it and it was entertaining
