Review of Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) by Scottscreen5 — 29 Jul 2022

And I thought Eternals was bad! Just when I reckoned Marvel movies couldn't get any worse, along came Thor: Love and Thunder. Wow, this Marvel phase of films has really sucked... please avoid this garbage at all costs!

How do you make Chris Hemsworth, Christian Bale, Natalie Portman, Russell Crowe, Tessa Thompson and others look really bad on the silver screen? Simple, just employ Taika Waititi to direct another Thor movie. He really must have lucked out on Thor: Ragnarok, as this time around, his direction gives us a movie that falls flat from the opening scene and then manages to just about limp along, right till the very end, embarrassing all involved along the way.

As the credits rolled, my wife asked "did a five year old write this one?" I understood where she was coming from, but I believe five year olds have far superior imaginations to the creative team involved here. Bottom line, Thor: L&T is just a really bad movie, period! As the curtains close, it states, "Thor will return"... let's hope if that's the case, that Marvel has the good sense next time to go with another director.

George Clooney, finally I can forgive you for Batman and Robin.
