I think we can all agree that Phase 4 has been a dumpster fire, with only No Way Home reaching the heights of the first three Phases.

I'd like to think they can at least stick the landing with Wakanda Forever, but my hopes are not high.

Pretty bold of you to think we can all agree on anything
 


When I see Bale's parts in this movie, and then this scene here with Thor and Zeus, it really is perplexing how the final product came out.
This scene with Thor and Zeus makes SO much more sense than "I"m going to murder the king of the gods with his own thunder bolt in front of all the other gods while I'm trying to enlist their help to kill a god killer"

A big part of the movie is talking about the idea of immortality/mortality....and Thor is trying to find his way after so many battles/a long life, what better mentor to have than fucking Zeus? The Zeus that fell in love with a human and had Hercules. Thor kind of has something in common there, doesn't he?
There are so many obvious great things they could have done, that it is just baffling that they seemingly had it, CUT IT OUT, and replaced it with more goat screams and bad jokes.

I agree with this.. based on the beginning of the movie

I enjoyed this movie a lot.

I don’t get the hate a lot of posters have for it. Not all Marvel movies can be as epic as End Game.

But in the end ultimately I agree with this. The beginning was very silly but overall I think this was a great continuation of Thor's arc and it was really entertaining. Chris Hemsworth has incredible charisma and his interactions with the kids was really touching. I did not expect that kind of ending but when it played out I actually thought it was perfect. His interactions with the Guardians and Jane ultimately let him learn to appreciate the limited time he spends with mortals he cares for.
 
Watched this last night. The fighting in the shadow realm was awesome, but most of the rest of the movie was pretty bad in my opinion.

I like the Zeus bit, but it does seem a little too much of an emotional retread of the scene with Odin about him not being the god of hammers, I can understand why they felt they needed something different

True, but the arc of the story for Thor was him trying to find his way. I agree this would've been a retread as far as the lightning/power thing goes, but this version of Zeus would have been far more interesting to me because he could provide that guidance Thor was looking for.
 
Finally watched it. Wasn't that bad after hearing all the negative reviews. Shows how much expectations colors your experience. Hemsworth still carries the show. That dude is perfect for the character.

Main gripes too much Taika being Taika and Gorr not being developed properly. Also didn't like the kidnapped children as you knew nothing would happen to them so the stakes felt very low.

I liked that scene with Zeus as mentor.

I still think they should have cast John Stamos as Zeus

Russel crowe as zeus was one of the few genuinely funny and enjoyable parts of the movie.

I liked the mentor scene too, until jane came in.
 
This movie is the perfect example of your last movie doing so well that you rely on the same jokes, beats, ect from the prior movie too much. The tone is all over the place, there's no weight to anything because the director can't let there be a serious moment without some lame joke. Honestly with JoJo Rabbit he was able to balance that perfectly but in this movie quite the opposite. I can see why this had some of the worst reviews ever for a Marvel movie. It was a terrible movie. How many times are we going to see Thor "find himself"? A lot of the movie felt like bad parity. Nothing about that ending made me want to watch more Thor. That was Dark World bad. Only redeeming quality was it looked pretty.

I think its the most messy/disorganised MCU film for quite a long time although Strange 2 was somewhat that way as well but I would say compared to something like The Dark World it also did have more memorable stuff in it. Bale actually made for a very good villian I thought without just having the character as edgy badass and whenever he was on screen the film was much more sucessful, the Zeus, Shadow Realm and Eternity sections were all very good as well I thought. A lot of the rest of it though did feel quite under written, it doesnt really feels like it gets a good hold of Thor or Jane's characters until about 2/3rds of the way though so ends up more stuff just happening because it has to.

Yeah, its a nice little scene in itself but honestly it does just feel like too much of the same thing to me, going over Ragnarok again so I can see why they backed off of it.

I like the way the finale developed much better as well, I felt that was the first time the film really sold the drama around Jane's illness effectively and the weight of her getting involved.

Honestly I think the films made issue is it really doesnt build up Jane's character very well, you get a couple of quick scenes of her dealing with cancer and then she turns up as Thor. That I think needed a good 15-20 mins more spent on it than we got.

I have no interest in it because it doesn't look funny and I strongly dislike Jane. What made it horrible to you?

The pacing was rushed right from the start. The humor was so over the top. I felt like it was written by a kindergarten class. I was big fan of the humor in Ragnarok but this one just didn't work for me.
 
I collected Thor comics and had boxes of them. I was a Norse mythology dork and read everything about the Norse gods. I even liked the 2nd Thor movie.

I also like omelettes. Omelettes with a bunch of stuff I enjoy consuming. Jalapenos, mushrooms, cheese. Lots and lots of cheese. I also like ice cream, whiskey (lots and lots of whiskey), walnuts, pancakes and loads of other things, that when mixed all together would turn my favorite breakfast meal into a pile of shit.

Love and Thunder is the first movie in ages I turned off without finishing it. At the 55 minute mark. And I enjoy rubbish like the Sharknado movies and old cheese like The Barbarians. Now those movies know exactly what they are. Hell, I even finished watching Wahlberg vs Transformers. This newest Thor movie is a glitzy turd that's going through an identity crisis.

4 out of 5 turds
