Thor: Love and Thunder - Angry Movie Review

Wife and I watched this last week, and we thought it felt like a parody for the vast majority. Could easily have been named Scary Movie Thor instead.

I really thought the whole Jane Foster having cancer thing was going to be taken a little more seriously. We barely even got to see how it affects her career as an astrophysicist. Kind of a waste of potential imo, even w/ Gorr.

[@IntiChabert87]

To me, the film had interesting themes that were left unexplored. The idea of uncaring and unfit gods is shown, but not explored, nor the idea of what it means to be a god, or godworthy. Gor and his grief and was touched on, but the idea behind losing faith in all gods and any hope of an afterlife is passed over. Thor looking up to larger gods who turn out to be dead beats, while thor is actually living as more of a god who actually helps people is left on the floor. There are others themes, but you get my point. Just how I feel though. Overall the film was fun enough.

[@SK008]

They don't want to make the film too serious.. honestly it would have been better if they turned down the comedy and focused on things that you mentioned.. the humour isn't that good honesty.. not good enough to sacrifice the dramatic weight that this movie had the potential of having.

They tried to force humour so much that the villian became joker himself, Gorr is a GOD BUTCHER, he is a GOD BUTCHER, he is supposed to be serious, calculated, cold, fast, strong, like a vengeful beast, not a sinister, psychopathic frail man, and honestly, i don't feel anything for him from the start to the end, the starting scene lasted for like 2 min of his hugging his dead daughter and that's all we saw of gorr's backstory, like at least show us how his people died, show us his wife, let us at least feel sorry for him. Taikiti basically made everyone except thor himself a total joke, gorr has the necrosword, perhaps the strongest weapon in the entire universe, sure thor's hammer is strong but the necrosword is supposed to be stronger, apparently gorr is supposed to get stronger everytime he kills gods, yes, fresh out of the gate gorr would have been demolished by thor, but gorr is supposed to have killed many gods by this point, look at his battlescars, but hey, taikiti wanted to make gorr weak and frail and in the movie, Zeus says his only killed low level gods, but he was able to somehow subdue thor, jane, valkyrie, and could have killed them all, and in the end fight, gorr somehow lost all his braincells and forgot how to use his shadow realm powers to go in and out of the shadow, he literally forgot about his powers, so gorr, whose strength rivals thor himself, is going around only killing low level gods? Gorr is strong and weak at the same time, i don't think i have seen a villian that is so poorly executed, like at times, his as strong as thor, other times, his weak as fuck. Anyways, all the great things that could have came from the necrosword is out of the window now, the supposedly strongest weapon has somehow became a joke, the GOD butcher is a frail man, basically joker who goes around killing only low level gods? But at times his as strong as thor? so idk man, i'll be completely honest here, taikiti just wants to make his own standalone movie, he doesn't care about the mcu, he doesn't know what the fans want, Gorr's iconic look from the comics, he looks like a proper monster, ay man, who the fuck cares about that, ahahahaha. Hey, Jane Foster, the mighty thor, WHO THE FUCK CARES, just give her cancer and kill her off. OH, gorr had a son in the comics? Who the fuck cares, let's based this whole movie to set up for THor's daughter debut into the MCU, who cares about jane, who cares about valkyrie, who cares about gorr the GOD butcher, honestly, this movie could have been 5 min long, show the beginning, and cut to the end straight away of thor being with his daughter, because honestly, that's all the movie is about, it's all about LOVE guys, it's all about LOVE, hey, LOVE can't save Jane thoooo lololo.....

7/10 is generous. all three of you gave it a 7 while saying "eh. I'm being generous." It's a 6/10. I watched it once. I felt it cared more about sketch comedy than telling a story. When it did try to "get serious," it almost snapped my neck with the transition between 30 seconds of seriousness sandwiched between 30 minutes of sketch comedy. Hemsworth's chemistry with Hiddleson and their Odd Couple routine was sorely lacking with the replacement co-stars of Valkyrie and Jane. Gorr was an afterthought, subordinated by the comedy sketches. The movie was watchable. But there's zero story and zero reason to ever rewatch it. (I've rewatched Ragnarok about 10x). I've only see Guardians of the Galaxy more often. I'd go 2.5/5. 3/5 on a good day.

[@dudestravel8934]

It’s solid 4/10.

This movie felt like an SNL skit of a thor movie for most of it but the jokes don’t land as well as it did in Ragnarok. It’s almost cringe. Too many jokes and not enough time to sit in serious dramatic moments that wouldve meant more if it had more room to breath. Plot and story felt very rushed and we got to things with characters that don’t feel earned. The emotional beats dont make you feel the way it should. Christian Bale deserved better for sure. He was amazing as Gorr and needed more screentime to show more of his story, character and him actually butchering Gods but it kind of felt out of place in this more comedic movie. It was like if Heath Ledger as Joker in terms of performance and story was thrown into a SNL sketch. There were no stakes really. Watched Ragnarok right before Love and Thunder and Ragnarok had a way better balance between jokes, drama, story, and character development. And the jokes in Ragnarok landed way better than in Love and Thunder. The theatre i went to only had a big laugh the first time the goats came in and screamed but that was really it. I really didnt like Thors character or his arc much in Love and Thunder, its like when he went to SNL to do skits of Thor. Thors best trilogy and story arc is between Ragnarok, Infinity War, and Endgame. I know phase 4 is like phase 1 and is supposed to set up bigger plots but this movie should still stand on its own and it doesn’t to me.

I'd love to see the 4 hour version of this movie. Adding 2 hours of Gorr development and other more serious scenes would space out the comedy and really improve the overall tone of the movie. Some of the Jane scenes could have been really emotional, but 1 minute before and after you have goats screaming. Every Gorr scene followed Thor being in a love triangle with his hammer and axe. There's a good movie here, but it's buried deep beneath awful tone issues.

Fuckin hate it. Christian Bale out acted EVERY SINGLE person on that call sheet. And they WASTED IT. His character was the only one who was intriguing. When he was on screen he stole it away from everyone else. If there was to be a serious Thor film, this should have been it. It deals with serious, deep, contemplative questions about God, atheism, nihilism etc. That could have been great. But inevitably the answer to Gorr's nihilism is a Christian one. So we can't do that, let's be a slapstick 2 bit comedy that removes all weight. Janes story of her cancer could have been another great mix to the seriousness of Gorr. Taika waky waky sucks. He's overrated, one trick pony who has killed Thor. I liked Ragnarok. But, the best Thor wasn't his. It was Infinity War and Endgame. A very somber, serious, self reflective funny. Not a big buffoon. They criminally wasted a brilliant performance by Bale.

Gorr should have been used much more in the movie (Bale was the best actor and they barely used him), the comedy toned way the hell down, and they should not have made thor into a literal dumbass and joke of a character. Watiti's Thor is just not it, Thor in Infinity War remains the best version of the character and how Thor should be. now it wasn't all bad, such as how it's good they didn't make Jane this "got the hammer = instantly amazing and better than Thor in every single way" like in the awful comics version of this arc, Jane/Thor relationship worked in this, some cool shots/fights... but the movie was all over the place, rather rushed and clearly with a lot of scenes cut from the final edit. It says something when a lot of the actors were talking in interviews how "so many cool scenes were cut". 5/10 at best for me, what Watiti has done to Thor as a character really brings down the movie for me.

[@NathanCassidy721]

Jane was absolutely “instantly good at everything Thor is” or a Mary Sue. The only difference is she didn’t humiliate Thor or try and put him down (he did that on his own) and she actually dies at the end and doesn’t replace him. That last part actually surprised me. But it’s just another movie that isn’t allowed to be creative or let Thor be a hero no thanks to studio politics, ideology, and a director who thinks he’s Stanley Kubrick because he made two good movies.

Anyone who is even vaguely familiar with the comic run involving Gorr knows what this film was supposed to be. It's seriously one of the darkest, most serious runs you can come across. The entire run is depicted as perilous for everyone who comes across Gorr. Aside from what the run itself describes, "off panel" it's implied that Gorr has been "at it" for a while. He's killed MANY "gods". At one point he even claims to have "tortured the god of torture". It takes multiple Thors including a few from other realities to finally take him down. An epic tale with heavy consequences. Instead, we got the classic bait and switch. We got female Thor stealing the thunder (pun intended) and almost nothing even remotely close to how the actual run went. A mish mash of the same "female Thor" run that didn't sell the first time they tried it and the Gorr story. They made one of the darkest themed runs you could muster, and made it a bright rainbow filled g-a-y ass film that just has no purpose aside from "strong female". As usual, pandering to anyone and everyone aside from the actual fans that spend the money.

I really wished they incorporated the multiverse aspect into the film and gave us 2 different versions of Thor or at least King Thor or at least brought in Hercules as well. Like less jokes and more lore friendly would have been much appreciated this time round. And just to add. Why touch on such serious topics just to take the comedy way too far. Like could this not have been balanced as all things should be, between humor and seriousness. Thor 1 and 2 weren't amazing but they were more serious and it seems like this film needed more of that with the appropriate balance of comedy.

That's why Thor Ragnarok was trash too. AJ is retarded for thinking that movie was any different than this and I can't believe he gave it 10/10.

Bale felt seriously underutilized, he at least got some good parts while Crow was 100% wasted. There were over a handful of scenes that could have been straight cut because they served no purpose. I was honestly a lil pissed when I left the theater, the AC unit in the theater I was in broke a week ago and they never bothered to stop showing film in it even though it was over 100 degrees in it. We had to complain and get switched to another showing much later in a different theater, all for a movie that was beyond disappointing.

Tbh you have to realistically look at MCU as it's own universe. That makes all the bad decisions exist in their own merit aka the MCU and it's number, 16666 I think? Someone correct me if not. Even comic readers will agree, it's the reason we have the multiverse numbered and the awesome happenings within the varied universes of the comic runs. However even the MCU messes this opportunity up when they mistakenly reference their own characters in Dr. Strange MoM as being 616, which can't be true because the mainline comics is 616 soooooo Basically they're gonna have to do even more Retcons in the MCU to address inconsistencies with the characters and plot holes, old issues they solved with the comics' narratives decades ago. Tl;Dr we gotta look at MCU as its own universe, as tradition to the comics... Even though the MCU broke the tradition by introducing the confusion (future mystery?) of having the movies and comics of having both the same number of 616. Surely, they can sort this out. Surely.... -oh fuck-

[@xdjrunner]

As I reread this they probably are gonna go the Secret Wars Battleworld angle with Incursions being the major threat, just like in Dr. Strange MoM. In the comics, several universes we're being merged like Incursion events, so that may be explanation of why MCU was revealed to be 616, That is the only connection I could muster because the rest is literally just multiverse stuff and I have seen more than enough of that. No Clone Saga again for me no thanks lol my head is already needing rest trying to sort out a movie franchise's epic narrative.

And that's now led on to him being in total and utter character limbo. Pissing around with the Guardians flying his axe like a broomstick? Now paired up with fucking Gorr's daughter of all people?? Still fighting random CGI bad guys by the end of the movie with no end arc resolution unlike Cap or Tony? Now he's regressed back to Mjolnir and being the God of hammers despite having since progressed to what Eitri called 'a king's weapon'? They need to right the wrongs of Endgame and Love and Thunder, make him King or just kill him off. He's absolutely going nowhere right now and hasn't for 2 movies straight since his brilliant arc in Infinity War.

Taika didnt take Ragnarok (world ending scenario in the comics) seriously and y'all thought he'd take the God Butcher seriously! LOL. He was right when he tweeted 'i'll ruin your mythos in a minute.' This is the MCU in a nutshell.....a joke.

[@jaxx96632]

Gonna cry?

[@charliemora6507]

Phase 4 I has definitely been a let down. Apart from Spider-Man No Way Home which might be my nostalgia talking Marvel has just been downhill lately.

[@justalpha9138]

Yeah, the comedy has just been a bit too much minus NWH where the comedy felt just right. I'm really hoping that Guardians 3 is as dark as James Gunn is saying it will be

[@medalgear654]

Just seen the movie. If Thor 4 is a good and the most excellent movie, we might as well say Batman and Robin is an amazing movie and one of Dc's greatest films.

[@michaelthomas5433]

Well Batman and Robin isn't the worst DCU movie. Idk what that means for Thor 4 though.

[@WH250398]

It's nowhere near as bad as Batman and Robin.

[@rom.e3363]

*SPOILERS* THIS WAS HOT GARBAGE 1. Every minute trying to be funny. 2. How did Valkyrie survive a literal backstab... not a normal backstab with a sword but Zeus' Thunderbolt??! 3. Kids just getting up fighting demons??? What? 4. Gorr looking like uncle fester from Adams family n no where near as strong. 5. Poor pacing 6. Im honestly Gorr was thwarted by children still I had to mention it twice. 7. The Gods are all a joke. Like not one of them are serious. Zeus was a clown.

[@donjosue1000]

Stopped watching after they said the first two Thors were "terrible". If you don't appreciate good films just say that.

[@EthanG298]

Gonna go out on a limb here and I say honestly I thought this film was pretty bad, it's sitting at like a 4/10 for me. Really didn't like this one at all. Visually I thought it was great, and Christian Bale was fantastic but beyond that I'd describe the film as a bit of a stupid mess. Good for kids but not anyone else

[@Motohead_Matt]

I feel like if we got that extra 30min of Gorr in this film it would have lifted it to a solid 8/10 maybe 9 along with a couple of less re-used gags even though I did enjoy the gags. Would have liked to see more of Gorr in the first act to see him going on a rampage of actually being the god butcher. Build up the intensity of how powerful he was going to be to battle. And they could have maybe also used that time to explain a little more of how the sword was corrupting / possessing Gorr.

[@GourSmith]

Why would you ever say “I enjoyed the gags”. Absolute dork 😂

[@Justice4Skye]

I have to believe that anyone saying this was good either is a teenager or early 20s and/or never read the comic runs of the God butcher.

[@iamyourfather4270]

@@Justice4Skye because no one is supposed to disagree with your opinion? The number of Karens in the current generation scares me smh

[@Justice4Skye]

@@iamyourfather4270 I'm stating facts...not opinions, look at the demographics of the age groups of who gave the movie positive reviews. Facts are the opposite of opinions and truths, a dictionary or even thesaurus would help you if needed.

[@Justice4Skye]

@Rigbone it's ok I've been beaten down by worse people in real life then I'd ever allow online, but I appreciate your kind words, means a lot. I'm just a big fan and have dedicated years to marvel and comics, it just hurts to see it made a mockery of. The new generation seems to like it...I guess they are trying to appeal to non comic fans...

[@betterman7233]

Aside from the signaling, MCU movies are also being ruined by the insistence on being cookie-cutter Disney-fied short bursts of goofy dopamine. Phase 4 has been pointless.

[@incoma6628]

Sorry but all Joes are looking thru the lenses of 3rd Thor.. The 4th installment is not "good" it's just plain terrible, stupid, and cringe. Taika forced us to go with him under the duvet and smells his farts. How on earth with this budget, these actors and source material you can screw up this movie so badly is beyond me.

[@granolatimes7185]

I refuse to stick around for post credits scenes anymore. when the credits roll I leave. frankly the MCU just isn't engaging enough for me to spend 10min watching credits for a 15sec sneak peak

[@rubeng370]

Seeing how this, Spiderman 3, and Doctor Strange 2 turned out as a 6/10 movie... then the Boys season 3 just doing so much better than Marvel is refreshing to see what I want to see in superheroes. I hope DC doesn't be like MCU in their upcoming movies

[@thebatman4279]

Batman is the only thing keeping my faith in DC atm. Black Adam looks generic and has a shit director and writer, The Flash is.... lol... yep. Shazam 2? Who the hell cares?? Hopefully beyond that they sort themselves out, now is the perfect chance seeing as Marvel is massively on the decline.

[@paulallen1916]

Season 3 of the boys was a let down. All this hype we have to take down Homelander. They bring in Soldier boy just to take him down at the very end...

[@KhanMann66]

Only thing going for DC is Batman.

[@Thanosdidtherighthing]

Dr strange 2 has a solid rotten tomatoes score

[@iamyourfather4270]

Yet Spider-Man: NWH made more profit than any of favourite products lol. The Boys isn't even top 10 most watched OTT series. Even the garbage Wheel of Time adaptation got more views than it. You ppl can only appreciate failures, because you find them relatable to your pathetic lives lmao.

Mighty Thor was a feminist addition to the MCU. No way I was gonna touch it, and once again I am vindicated.

DC catching up. Marvel is running itself to the ground

[@dariendarkhouse8538]

They completely changed Gorr's look, the origin and species (first Klyntar/Symbiote) of All-Black the Necrosword, changed his background quite a bit, didn't have god butchery, and they left a ton of Gorr content on the cutting room floor. I knew they should have just waited until Disney put out more rated R films. Gorr is supposed to make the past, present, and future Thors all feel fear. He unsettled Thor before they even met because when he looked into the eyes of a dead God he saw the most terror and suffering he has ever seen in a God's eyes. Gorr only losses in the comics because he snaps when his resurrected wife says that he is her God and kills her, leading to a betrayal by his resurrected son, leading to his defeat. Is it too much to ask that they go with a comic accurate version of a character that most people haven't seen yet, before they start doing the flippin' variants?

[@McGriddle69]

The screaming goats got on my nerves. It just kind of screams boomer humor with how long ago it was when screaming goats were actually funny.

[@unarealtaragionevole]

They combined three of the biggest Thor stories which could have been their own films, into a single chopped version. You just can't do that successfully cause there's just not enough time to cover everything well.

[@stareater1870]

Just by hearing this, I can tell it has the same issues I had with Ragnarok, which I admittedly am not too big on, tbh.

[@cosmiccj_]

Exactly.

[@opticracer3927]

That's right Kiwi. Ragnarok not only makes a parody out of THOR but actually insults the character.

[@EthanG298]

Wouldn't recommend someone who's been affected by cancer to see this film because the film doesn't take that concept very seriously, and uses the seriousness of it at times as leverage to pull off the next joke

[@ClunkerSlim]

Thank you.

[@Masteroogway40]

I hated this movie. I laughed exactly once, when groot snickers at the pirate getting married. That was it. It was tonally off-putting. I just saw minions the rise of Gru and it was a lot funnier than thor and it's made for 4 year olds.

[@crabbypatty10fefrefe]

Im not supporting a director that shits all over the source material.
