Review of Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) by Markm17 — 08 Jul 2022

A movie that was enjoyable but far from perfect. At the same time I feel its certainly not the worst of the Thor movies sorry Dark World. Was interesting that Marvel didn't take the easy way out I was expecting them to with Jane near the end.

Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman were great in this. Where the movie falls down is it gets very cartoonish with its humor there were some parts that made laugh admittedly but unfortunately a lot more parts that made me cringe and took me out of the story.

Christian Bale did what he could with Gore but his arc felt a bit rushed and not fleshed out. Zeus felt like more of a punchline rather than a powerful god it was like the parts that should have been serious in the movie couldn't be as the movie was sort of stuck in cartoon mode.

Overall there is certainly enough to enjoy in this movie but it struggles to balance humor with serious parts was great to see the guardians though.
