  3. Love and Thunder is far and away the worst MCU movie I've ever seen. A tonal catastrophe, muddled, far too short, jokes at every single second, Thor has been entirely character assassinated to be a bumbling, insufferable (now the Guardians look bored and annoyed whenever he's doing anything), silly idiot who weeps at movies on dates with Jane, calls his hammer like it's a dog and annoys everyone he's around (Heimdall's son gets bored of him and tells him to go away, the Guardians look exasperated by him now being an idiot, Valkryie and Jane look at him like a fool when he, for some random reason, falls out of the Bifrost and destroys part of New Asgard like he accidentally destroys the temple of the people he's trying to save). I am astonished how bad this movie is. You get brief moments where Thor acts like Thor but then he resumes being this new airhead simpleton jock character that Taika and Chris are loving to turn him into. It's such a shame, there's a really brilliant outline here but it's just absolutely saturated, stuffed to the gills with silliness and tension breaking comedy and character assassination (with Thor). Like Gorr. Bale is predictably phenomenal as him but he’s so, so underutilised and they completely avoid some of the best moments of his comic run like the Godbomb and deny him any kind of actual character like: Is he evil or is it just the sword whispering to him and manipulating him, it’s never explained? We literally get an hour and 20 minutes into this movie that doesn’t even reach 2 hours long, before we actually get a meaningful, legitimate conversation between Thor and Gorr, aside from one fight where they throw a few small exchanges with no substance. We see next to none of his brutality against the Gods like in the comic where it’s more of a haunting, murder mystery involving Gods being hunted like prey, tortured extensively and butchered. He’s truly tame here. He kills one God at the beginning of the movie, Thor finds Sif in the aftermath of his next butchering (they don’t even explain why she’s been gone for about 9 years in universe and instead make time for jokes despite her having lost an arm) and then Zeus references some killings. That’s literally it. You get absolutely nothing in terms of actual God butchering. Where was his torture of Thor from the comics? Why didn’t they write it so that Gorr had met Thor years before like in the comics? He’s so disappointingly handled and truly, truly surface level, a Malekith/Ivan Vanko level of mishandling and lack of care by the script. unfortunately for Bale.

    And again, seriously, why is Thor an absolute bumbling, aloof, head in the clouds simpleton now? Seriously, did he get CTE from all his years fighting bad guys? He acts like someone who's not all there and the joke is that the characters are written and directed to mirror that. Notice how loads of times in the movie, characters look annoyed or bored with Thor, like he's a bad smell, because he's written to act like an annoying, absent-minded screw up? He flies away and then…for some reason…smashes into and breaks one of the pillars in New Asgard, much to the dismay of the people, which already is a copy of an earlier part of the movie where he smashes the sacred temple that the whole point was to preserve? And it's all because of Taika's obsessive need to write jokes for 4-year-olds. It is literally farting in the bathtub, laughing at the bubbles level of humour. Taika Waititi forgot the first rule: Never go full retard.

    And why did Thor go back to using Mjolnir? Obviously it’s his longstanding weapon in the comics but in the context of the MCU, Stormbreaker (exclusively Beta Rey Bill’s in the comic) was the upgrade, the King’s weapon, why did he regress back to Mjolnir? I'm honestly shocked how awful it is. Thank God I didn't pay money to be disappointed by this and fund the Mouse. Oh, and I adored Ragnarok. Absolutely loved it, aside from the odd one or two goofy moments that encapsulate this entire movie. That's the problem. Taika saw what people loved in Ragnarok (playing popular rock music over Thor – 4 Guns N Roses tracks, 4?!, I love Guns but 4 tracks from the same band as well as a character being named after them and Guns being referenced? – the play scene with Matt Damon, Luke Hemsworth and Sam Neil, Thor shrieking like a little girl at the Grandmaster) and just turned that all up to 11 and repeated it all again but without any rhyme or reason. I haven't seen Eternals, which people gave bad reviews, but this movie is just appallingly bad. It's exactly as advertised though. A spoiled, 6 year old's fever dream of a movie, which is exactly what Hemsworth and Waititi said it would be, that Waititi had the 'imagination of a child' but sadly the MCU, banking on Ragnarok's success, let him have free reign to butcher Thor. Now I know how the people who hated Ragnarok felt for what they saw as Thor being made into a goofy idiot. I didn't feel that there but I 100% felt it here. ‘I’ll ruin your mythos in a minute baby’. Thanks Taika, you did.
    I pray Hemsworth doesn't come back again despite Thor being alive at the end of this movie. I'd rather see him killed off than subject to this humiliation and character assassination.

  7. I have watched this film tonight at multiplex and my review is :-

    This Film is good but not bad… Don't critisize this film… Yes i agree this film has no Wow moments which we usually expect from Marvel movies 🥺 only Jane's moments were awesome when she lifted Mjolnir and fight other creatures and also i like the fight scene between Gor and Thor/Jane/Valkarie.. That was awesome.. I like the Black and white effect in that scene…
    In this film Thor is a very comedic and Jollu nature person who usually crack jokes which is good i like it…. But i expected more fight scenes and more origin for Gor the god butcher… GOR is a dangerous and strongest villain in the marvel universe but here the fight scenes of GOR seems not up to the mark…

    I am sorry i wrote too much bad things but i wrote my own opinion…
    I lile the film ❤️but I expected more from this film

    I am also Marvel Fan❤️
