Thor Love and Thunder Movie Review!

[@jerronwesley4473]

It was ok- entertaining but could have developed Christian Bale’s villain Gorr more - maybe 10 minutes more. Build up the menace and this movie needed to let him breathe as an actor.

[@sebastienc.2257]

Exactly

[@tkghhhhh]

More like 20-30 more

[@bookwormdesigngroup]

That’s all I’m sayin

[@MR.Rexx101]

Apparently there was alot of footage of Gorr left on the cutting room floor... & supposedly Christian Bale was alil upset about it! 🧐🤓

[@DavidLawyer]

The black and white fight sequence was the best part of the film. Bale killed it as GORR. He did the character justice… but agree that they should’ve shown more of his ‘God butchering’. Only personal gripe is that some of the humor felt forced, and unnecessary.

[@blkcajunqt_3575]

For me Ragnarok was a good balance of traditional Thor and the storytelling and Taika's humor. Love and Thunder went overboard for the laugh. I agree with Cam to in that we knew where this movie fit into the scheme of things. It felt like a stand alone but it's definitely my least favorite marvel movie. It could have been better.

[@henikimura4413]

I loved it, the emotional beats hit for me. The kids in the cinema loved watching kids kick ass, and their parents were teary eyed. I heard recently that the asguardian kids were played by Chris, Taika, Natalie and Christians children. Also, gorrs daughter was played by Chris Hemsworth daughter. Taika got the kids to sketch monsters, he gave them to marvel and they put them in the film. Hit me in the feels knowing this film was a family affair.

[@beautyandnique4186]

I went into it with no expectations and I enjoyed it nobody in the mcu has a more tragic story than Thor he’s literally lost everyone close to him and I like to see how this all ends for him

[@cassimatchia9321]

That was literally what i was telling a friend the other day. Even his friends in the founding Avengers, 3 out of 6 of the main Avengers are out. He's got no one else left but maybe Quill, Valkyrie, Korg and the little girl.

[@cheyennetolbert1753]

Wanda

[@Neener1437]

Thor is still so positive too

[@petalstt45]

Anybody notice that the bad guys Thor and the Guardians fought at the beginning of the movie looked like Jim Henson's Muppets (a la Dark Crystal, Labyrinth)? Made it extra comical. 😄

[@bessythompson1472]

YES!!! it was hilarious to me!

[@woodbridgesfinest1904]

I was excited for Love and Thunder, it was tragically never gonna beat Ragnarök though. I missed my Sir Anthony Hopkins and his tough love father routine" are you Thor the God of Hammers?"Loving the Jason Aaron Run that Introduced Gorr, I too wish we could have seen some of his kills, or at least something to help him earn "the butcher". Truly one of the best Marvel villains, I wish had gotten more and a more comprehensive look at him at his killing spree. The film was good, I just wish we had a more focused film.

[@yaboysix]

Lol I randomly think of that “Thor , the god of hammers “ line and chuckle to myself lol.

[@michyrocks2755]

We need a review talking about the actual plot and your thoughts/predictions in the next month or so pleaseeeeee 🥰🥰

[@justinsingleton2113]

Someone said it's less goofy, naw this was too much, Ragnarok had balance, jokes and an actual story, the journey was better, Love and Thunder was just too silly, A-list actors were wasted on Love and Thunder

[@sebastienc.2257]

I agree

[@beasties07]

Facts

[@Passion84GodAlways]

I enjoyed Thor:L&R more than Doctor Strange:itMoM. 🤷🏾‍♀️ I look forward to hearing Tony's review. 🍞

[@aatiti2011]

Agree. Raganarok was my favorite Thor movie so far

[@Big_Kuzco35]

It was over the top corny in the first half, and in the 2nd half it got more serious. That whole scene of them on that planet in black and white was the best scene of the whole movie hands down. Also, not enough bale was my huge problem with it

[@whowatching7668]

I agree 100% about C. Bale. Hated him in Shaft liked him in other films. He be acting.

[@sebastienc.2257]

This movie should’ve been Gorr centric. I believe Gorr deserved two movies.

[@geeman8332]

The butchering would have probably made pushed it towards rated-R, and I thought I was the only one who loves Tessa Thompson's face!

[@Snake-eyes1980]

The scene of gorr holding his daughter when she died was reported to be so powerful. They said gorr gave off such a blood-curdling scream that it made marvel had to cut the scene completely i wish they left that scene in.

[@ChrispiTheInFallible]

The “who tf is this woman?!” Axel Rose shot?! Omfgggg I’m dying

[@Warrior04086]

I enjoyed it Tessa Thompson was great & Christian was great as well

[@dannytheliftgod5351]

Every time GORR touched the screen I got chills Mr. Bale killed his role from the sounds and the picture and the way he moved and talked completely amazing!!!

[@1027srich]

I saw it with my bro last week... I thought it was good... My brother just thought that it was ok or even solid... We both agreed that Christian Bale carried this movie... We both liked Jane Foster's story, especially given that we've been thru that in our family... We also believe that this one was a little too goofy at times... Thor: Ragnarok was lightning in a bottle so it felt like they tried to overdo it with this one and got oversaturated... My brother gives it about 2.5 "saxophones" and I'm teeter-tottering between 2.5 and 3 "saxophones"... It's not in our top 10 or even top 15 of favorite superhero films, but this movie is definitely solid 👌🏾... On another note, I liked Thor: A Dark World, especially since it was a "Thor" type movie... I liked that one way better than the 1st Thor movie... Granted, A Dark World is not in the elite group of MCU movies, but I think it's underrated... Plus, it had a more serious tone than any of the other Thor movies... Anyway, Thor: Love and Thunder was surprisingly good 👍🏾

[@isthat_kp2544]

Thor love and thunder is a 10 out of 10 for me. It just hit for me. Wanted a lil bit more of the guardians of the galaxy probably like 10 more mins of scene time. Love your movie recap Tony yesssir.

[@SpaceGhostPower]

This was just a double down on Thor Ragnarok. But this is the only movie review that matters to me so thank you again Tony for another great video.

[@18touchdasky]

Completely agree with Tony, I think it was a good time. I loved the chaos, the comedy, and the hint of romance. I would've loved to see more Gorr action and more of Valkyrie. A little more Guardians b/c I love Thor's interactions with them. I'm excited to see what's next for Thor.

[@dayhop3257]

I'm tired of the spoiler free reviews. I'm not gonna watch the movies for 2 hours, but I'll sit and listen to Tony talk about one for 1 hour. All love tho, I still listened 🤗

[@lilre133]

Volume is low for this video, except for the opener.

[@stajamarie4431]

I liked it. I enjoy Thor more as a comedy. The first two Thor movies were garbage trash. They could’ve gone really dark with Thor considering all the death and everything he’s gone through. But instead they made flipped it and made him funny. It works! Lmaooo YESSSSS TONY!! What more do you neeed!! Damn. I mess with Guns N Roses heavy music wise.

[@Snake-eyes1980]

Fun fact Tony the little girl that played gorr's daughter is Chris Hemsworth real life daughter.

[@bluessax5089]

Man Dude, I completely agree!! I saw it with my kids and we had a BLAST!! So much fun! Even my 3 year old didn’t get bored

[@AnimeAngel115]

I enjoy Tony's reviews more when he does them solo, having others talking in the background just feels off to me and they arent as entertaining.

[@TheKrazykwasi]

Had a rough time taking this movie seriously. Christian Bale’s full scope was flat, I cant believe homey said Hela didn’t have much to do and Gore had more. Really? Hella’s motivations were consistent all the way through and from the minute she came on the screen she was busy busy. Gore essentially attacked once (barely), ran, then sat down waiting to trap Thor. Every encounter with Hela had stakes, bc she was killing people left and right. Her collateral was visceral. Her “declaration of intent” was seen, and felt. Gore really did not make an impactful declaration. He was almost like a Voldemort in Harry Potter 1-4, he was a boogie man that barely existed (even Zeus was afraid and gave him the ‘he who is not to be named’ treatment), which was a real waste of a good character and actor. Everyone has their own opinion… to each their own. This is a 2 saxophone movie at best.

[@pcfool13]

I watched this movie and still don't know how I feel about it but it was an experience

[@ChrispiTheInFallible]

Where the entire McHell is my “smoove jazz music!?”

[@robertjackson919]

That black & white scene reminded me of Sin City.

[@Snake-eyes1980]

Shouts out to the late great Jack Kirby if not for him wouldn't have got what we watched in Thor.

[@marinodejesus8024]

Infinity war Thor is the best Thor. Ragnarock and L&T Thor is just a dumb frat boy. Dark World Thor was better imo. Not the movie itself but the character Thor.

[@TwiStedReality1313]

Yeap. long gone is Thor Odinson, God of Thunder. Now we just have dude bro Thor..

[@sterlingarthur4908]

Just saw the movie last night. I didn't think I would like it, but I was pleasantly surprised

[@tomadon]

I thought it was a fun movie. The way they were able to mix deep tragedy with humor was very interesting. The movie was both one of the darkest and silliest movies marvel has ever released. people will talk about this movie for a long time.

[@emilharty]

That's true @ 11:13... If we saw Gorr dicing up the gods, I definitely would have been at the edge of my seat.

[@katrinaj7173]

I liked it but not as much as Ragnarok. But was pleasantly surprised. It did feel rushed though. Gor needed more of a intro and back story. But it was a good time.

[@cassimatchia9321]

Nah bruh. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5. The comedy was there. The action was there. The feels was there. The drive of the villain was there but barely explored. The gravity of the situation was missing. The stakes were low. The seriousness in certain moments was missing. Some stuff was just plain childish which i am not complaining, but some scenes could have been taken more seriously

[@Ohnezone]

I loved Gorr and I also believe he needed a bit more screen time BUT I loved the fact that the movie is more of a romantic comedy piece than anything else. It was a good bookend to Jane Foster especially after her absence in Ragnarok. I feel like this movie was more about Jane than it was about Gorr.

[@justhumblemeclarke7292]

I feel like Marvel is becoming a little too woke for me. The movie was ok.

[@AbdulAnWeeZySalaam]

Thought the flick was enjoyable... Bale DEFINITELY killed it. I think they didn't give him enough screen time because he woulda taken over the entire movie. If this movie has maybe 20 more minutes, just to flesh a few things out, it would change the WHOLE thing.

[@MrTykel]

That's Disney for you. We have to be family-friendly. But you have a load of adult jokes in the movie. Bareback Thor. Show us Gorr actually butchering some gods. I enjoyed the film. Going to see it again in about an hour.

[@beasties07]

Love that Marvel is Disney because the production budgets are going to be fully backed, but everything is gonna too kiddie. No grit. Plus dry sarcastic humor.

[@LoDownBrown]

Tony, bruh!! Can you please do a couple of different top ten list about Kung fu/ Martial Art movies. Gimme at least 3 different top ten list please.

[@feliphaturner468]

Nah man look out! We want the spoiler review 😂😂

[@christianlevy4487]

Thanks for the spoiler free review! I usually have to put a pin on your reviews till I get a chance to watch them because of spoilers but you got me hyped for this one now!

[@joshuariggins3571]

Yeah they HAVE to redeem the Hulk…he never got his run back with Thanos 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

[@wilkic2]

Thanos beat the brakes off of him. He ain’t never coming back from that

[@KingOfAllNoobs]

The volume in this video is waaaaaaay too low. I still enjoyed it but I was hella leaning in to my phone😁

[@nicolemonroe3655]

I thought it was okay. To me the best part was Hemdall 's kid.

[@theicekingonYT]

Tony's movie posters are something else 😂

[@Ratchet-Network]

I feel Sabrina on the owl/aliens feeling uneasy. I strangely felt the same way about the hotdog fingers in Everything Everywhere All At Once lol that shit was creepy af but I still laughed everytime I saw them

[@chrisnichols2896]

Am I the only one that laughed and thought of Yugioh when they mentioned the shadow realm in this movie?

[@ecj17cel]

Tony....I've been "patiently" waiting on your NOPE review..😌😌😌 Tick Tock Tick Tock..😂😂😂🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

[@alexandria18m]

I agree with everything. I had a great time watching it. Ppl are getting too picky. I feel like when ppl watch a marvel movie they want to see how it goes against other movies amd don't take the time to just like it for it. I was entertained the whole time. I do wish I saw more butchering, but I still loved it. Loved every character which is why I really loved the movie. Even fell for his axe every time he wanted his hammer. I would give it a 4. Not my favorite movie but I'll definitely watch it again and buy it when it comes out. It was a great movie.

[@Catdaddy2112]

What about the comedy? It was low key funny as hell too! Laugh out loud moments!

[@quincyharding9060]

Shoutout to Christian, I love him as a actor idc what anyone say. They could’ve did his character better but it is what it is. Spoiler The part about the rock partner creating a child cracked me up 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@chriscali2976]

Movie was iight, Chris Hemsworth and Natalie has no chemistry at all together. Thor and Mijolnir and Stormbreaker have better chemistry. NOT GONNA LIE kids scene at the end folded me, I was a mess.

[@feliciafoxworth1]

Christian Bale be Bale-ing! He is awesome! I saw the Machinist and it was great!

[@maliwhi6868]

I didn't have any expectations but I didn't really get it. Something about the wide swings from goofy to sentimental romance didn't resonate with me but I'm going to watch it again.

[@sebastienc.2257]

Fans and Christian Bale were let down by the lack of character progression in the movie.

[@jaybot1988]

Could’ve at least showed the death of the Giant God

[@samrw80]

I'm not a comic book fan so I didn't know Gore but I liked the movie Gore character right off the bat. When I saw what his motives were in the end, it gave him so much more substance.

[@SaimesierP]

They ruined the character.

[@samrw80]

@@SaimesierP I went in ignorant not knowing anything about him. I'm sure they did.

[@tdub09will84]

I think Hawkeye could have been more grittier. I like in Dr. Strange that Wanda had a dark side but the teenagers in the MCU they need a dark side. I agree with you they need to redeem the Hulk. Probably not with Thanos but with someone comparable to Thanos.

[@nataliehurd2532]

I really like your take on this one.

[@nawfsidemoe9858]

Gotta bring the smooth jazz review music back

[@willieirvin7492]

That was the second best Thor movie in my opinion. Ragnorok still has the top spot.

[@troylee76]

I think those scenes with the God Butcher were taking out. Hopefully we get those in extra scenes on Disney+

[@romezoolander2291]

Thor wasn’t silly in ragnarok like he was in this movie. A lot of the silliness was around him.

[@blackpanthro]

Really liked the movie, felt like it was for the chil'rin. If i saw this as a lil kid, this might have been my favorite movie. And really, when you have a movie about losing your faith and deciding to kill God and it ends up being a movie aimed at kids, you did something there.

[@itsteraj]

Not sure if the multiple mention of orgies is for kids though lol

[@armahthetrainer]

Axel Rose is the Bobby Brown of Rock music. Haha.

[@icymoe1024]

He was amazing I'm American Psycho! I felt so wierd Loving that character and movie! But yea - he be acting ACTING!!!

[@tamzap16]

💯 Christian Bale is a fantastic actor!

[@JohnnySturdivant]

Tony World War Hulk doesn’t work in the context of the MCU. Unless they show what happened between Ultron and Ragnarok that the Hulk had a spouse and child who died because an device created by the MCU version of the Illuminati or That Hulk is a variant World War Hulk doesn’t work.

[@BrandonM803]

Great episode but the volume was low

[@geeman8332]

Taika Waititi and Chris Hemsworth are Gold together. The film was less than 2 hrs, I wish it was 2 and half hrs

[@Cattvee]

I didn’t watch reviews either but I thought it was great. Can’t bring myself to watch she hulk though. I don’t want to be disappointed. The fact it’s a series ??

[@kemalmoise5945]

Movie was great, I was entertained. But do you think every movie will feel "rushed" as we switch between 6 hour mini series and 2ish hour films? I agree that not knowing what we're rushing towards is tough but in general I acknowledge that we have 2 hrs to get to the end before I walk in a theatre and it seems to help with my satisfaction level.

[@lenabellamy1262]

When a Marvel film comes out I make it a point to NOT read reviews. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie on its own merit.

[@Mikepepp2]

Well what. I saw in theater is kids loved it It didn’t give adults everything they wanted and expected of a movie based. On one of the best thor graphic novels ever made . I enjoyed it . It did need about 30 minutes of dark world seriousness added.

[@stanthedemigod]

The first Thor was good in my opinion the third one was good too Thor love and thunder was decent

[@younganthony7084]

5 out of 10 and after seeing the interviews 3 out of 10

[@mrserwin08]

Thor Ragnorok was my fav out of the trilogy. The first movie was blah and the second one was ehh. I wanna see this one but I’ve heard no good reviews 😬

[@darkethereal]

The machinist is a great film. The vibe is different.

[@EddieWoodsRemnantOutreach]

You gonna have to call me a liar because I enjoyed the first Thor far more than Thor 3… Thor 2 was Pooh Pooh. There was funny beats when Thor became mortal in that hospital, his inactions with Jane and so forth. Not that I didn’t like Thor 3. It’s just that there were serious elements that were too playful for what was happening so it took me out of the movie a lot. Not that it’s bad but Thor 1 is better to me.

[@JayWhite845]

I agree with every thing you said Tony about This Thor movie. I think paramount still owns the Hulk so I’m not sure if marvel can do a solo Hulk movie.

[@chrisgeezhbgvictum]

Universal owns the hulk

[@allemoney]

I thought it was a little weak. Especially how little they used the potentially great villain. 6.5/10.

[@icymoe1024]

I still believe they crippled hulk so Thor can fly. That last Thor movie was really Planet Hulk/World War Hulk. I'm curious about this new Thor but in no rush

[@JKissoon1]

I love the first Thor, I think The Dark World is bottom 3 MCU movies, I don't care for Ragnarok, but Love and Thunder was a little better to me (maybe because my expectations were already low).

[@LasNotLos]

They undercut every single scene with jokes. Its hard to take something thats supposed to be heartfelt seriously when it’s immediately undercut by a joke

[@joshh.9195]

I have Ragnorok in my top 10

[@kalibtracks]

Ragnarok was better …L&T was solid… I like the humor but don’t really care for Thor being a joke the whole time… The fact that the Guardians didn’t take him serious threw me off… But I wanna know why are we like multiple movies and shows in post Eternals and NOBODY has mentioned the giant hand sticking out of earth? 🥴

[@raymonddiaz2254]

Tony I’m saying this with hand claps between every word! You need to keep that same energy you have now with Pixar movies. LIGHTYEAR was a Good movie and you ranked on it being picky comparing it to the past Pixar movies. Rerate Lightyear my good sir!

[@Duke52DDOJ]

Curious because I'm new to Tony's movie reviews. Are they all spoiler free?

[@komzs232]

My thoughts are I feel Thors character has been watered down when compared to the comics....

[@fbafoundationalbuck-broken6011]

THOR IN THOR RAGNAROK = GOKU IN DRAGON BALL Z THOR IN LOVE AND THUNDER = GOKU IN SUPER

[@dvdvsjaydriller2636]

Gotta get that audio up. My phone is loud and I could barely hear you

[@d-rockthegreat]

just my opinion, but they could have left Jane's Character out and the whole scene with Zeus, should have fleshed out Gorr's character more and given him more screen time as a villain. the movie was hilarious, but I preferred Ragnarok.

[@KingBrandonm]

Jane becoming Lady Thor, then dying, was pulled straight from the comics. Everyone kept going, "They are gonna replace Thor with Jane FOREVER!!!! WHHAAAAAAAA!" And i kept telling them to read the fucking comics. When she gets his powers, she dies from cancer. That's exactly what happened.

[@d-rockthegreat]

@@KingBrandonm yes I'm aware of the comic story on Jane. I still think that Storyline could have been cut. Gorr is more intriguing than Jane's Story in my opinion.

[@KingBrandonm]

@@d-rockthegreat Jane was done dirty after Dark World, they wanted to correct how she was just cut from the movies without any explanation. The Lady Thor storyline let her be brought back and have a proper send off to fix her abrupt disappearance after Thor 2. We got to see how their respective jobs drove them apart until one day they just were too distant to keep the relationship going. Idk if its been confirmed, but the difference in how long Thor said it was vs Jane points to her having been snapped, but she had disappeared long before Infinity and Endgame. I do agree that i would have loved to have seen more of Gorr, but i was happy that they addressed her disappearance from the movies and gave her a proper ending to her character. The MCU is too big and interconnected to just have people be dropped off the roster unexpectedly without addressing what happened. Black Panther 2 is gonna have a helluva time with Chadwicks passing in real life. Either they'll give some exposition explaining how he died off screen, or if his family allows they might CGI him in to show how he dies.

[@KingBrandonm]

@@d-rockthegreat People may criticize how Taika has made Thor much more comedic, but he truly does understand the MCU on a very deep level. Thor's character development was done by both Taika and Hemsworth, it wasn't just Taika alone that drove him to be more comedic. Chris is legitimately a very funny guy and they both wanted Thor to be able to have that real part of him show through. But if you look at the ideas and easter eggs Taika works into his Thor movies, its clear that he does get it and him taking the time and effort to integrate the comics in a way that ties up Jane's loose end shows that. I don't want to beat a dead horse with this, but i really did appreciate how well he did her justice. She gets that proper send off she was denied, while continuing to drive Thor's character development further by having him lose the love of his life, and be given the chance to raise Gorr's daughter, becoming a better man through fatherhood and continuing on his journey of self discovery beyond his expected duties as a God. That's what the Taika Thor movies has always been about, Thor finding out who he is when you strip away his Asgardian Godhood and take a serious look at the man underneath. His position in the Aesir was who he is, it was all he was. Now he is becoming more than that, he is becoming himself, who he truly is in his heart. He didn't know who he really is and for much of his time since Ragnarok he has been simply trying to find that out. Its been a bumpy ride for Thor, he went through periods of depression, feelings of aimlessness and doubt, and I do not think this journey is done for him yet, but he is closer than ever before in finding the answer.

[@kayla-xd7hi]

It was great

[@PankysPen]

Mr. Baker can we get a Ms.Marvel review!?! Please sir
