Movies THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER (Dragonlord's Review)

If you have seen THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER, how would you rate it?

  • Total voters
    145
This movie was a zero right up until they landed on the Black and White planet. A zero. Like thinking to myself "holy shit, am I going to have to walk out of this turd?" bad.
But then it was great. Solid, inspired action sequences, legit feels. How do you grade a movie like that? I'm giving it a 4. The movie needed another hour to tell this story properly.
When they realize they couldn't in the time allotted, and they should have realized that, they should have gone in a different direction. OR... turn it into 2 movies. Would've earned it.

And why tag on some kid to the next movie? That wasn't Thor's agreement to adopt his fucking kid? Now we have to deal with the 1st 40 minutes of the next movie explaining that bullshit. Stupid. I don't like this Waki guy I think he's overrated as fuck. Hopefully they get a new director who doesn't dress Thor up in shiny plastic bullshit.

If you take some of the scenes out of the context of a total shit show, then Crowe's Zeus was pretty funny. Otherwise, can't think of anything redeeming about the 1st half.

Poor Sif. How long does Marvel have her enslaved to this franchise? Fucking use her or kill her off with dignity.

And I was wrong about the Brood, or should I say Wakiki was wrong about the Brood?

Is this the last movie of Phase 4? Because so far it's been underwhelming AF.

Black Widow = hot garbage.

Eternals = hot garbage.

Shang Chi = mediocre.

Spider-Man: No Way Home = GOAT-level.

Multiverse of Madness = decent, but nothing special.

So yeah, compared to Phases 1 - 3, this has been Marvel's weakest line up so far, with only No Way Home living up to the hype.

I might be done with these movies tbh. This second half has been incredibly underwhelming. They're just bad movies.
As a movie I actually think Eternals was the best made of the bunch, but who the fuck cares about the Eternals? NOBODY.
And if we're being honest with ourselves No Way Home was only cool because of what we brought to the movie, not so much what they put on the screen. IMO

For No Way Home William Dafoe and the two Peters stole the show for me. Holland Parker and company to include Dr. Strange the more I think about it were all fucking idiots that created a Multiversesal calamity for the sake of one person's privacy ? Yeah plot point to move on.

I think you meant to say, "Another solid entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe." :D

More and more I think this movie's editing was god awful , Way too many comedy bits got left in while not enough of Gorr was used, which was a big mistake because they did film more scenes.

100% you have this amazing character portrayed by this amazing actor, he should have been given so much more screen time and development.
But on the other hand, you have the director who thinks he's really funny and needs to be Korg, who of course is immortal...

Didn't realize we were doing a new thread. Just saw it, thought it was good, not great. But I liked the comedy, (particularly the parts with Zeus) the fight scenes were a little generic, but outside of Winter Soldier I think most fights are just for a showcase of superpower special effects anyway. But the credit scenes should have been switched imo, midcredit got cheers, post credit was just "that's it?"
 
I'm a big Marvel fan boy, but I thought this was awful.
Nonstop attempts at cringe jokes throughout the ENTIRE movie, and rehashing the same lame jokes over and over again.
There were a lot of scenes where it felt like someone had a random idea of "You know what would be cool/cute/funny.....this random thing"...and then they build a whole scene around it, regardless of how much sense it makes for the story.

I saw an interview with Hemsworth talking about Taika and how it was like working with him again, and he said he is "like a child genius"...and boy were those words right, and in all the wrong ways. The movie felt like it was made by a child.
Completely inconsistent characters. Wasted appearances and storylines. And even the action was cheesy and felt dated in places.
My biggest issue was that the tone was all over the place. With all of the serious things happening with Thor and Jane, I never felt the weight of them because every moment was sandwiched in between a bad joke.
The GoTG were wasted. Total nonfactor and a very generic appearance.

Thor is a complete joke throughout the movie, and it's just silly at this point for him to still be portrayed as a clueless brute after all he's been through in the MCU.
Christian Bale was so good as Gorr, and it's a damn shame that he was wasted here. I enjoyed every scene of his, and he had a compelling back story, but his scenes and the scenes of just Thor and the rest felt like they were from different movies.

The ending was ATROCIOUS.
MCU is 0/2 as far as I'm concerned for 2022 movies. Maybe Black Panther will be a return to form, but without T'Challa, I don't have hopes for that.

4/10

*Who wants to see a bunch of nobody kids with dolls and sticks have a CGI fight with monsters as the final battle? The whole tone with them and this storyline where they are captured just never felt serious. How do you have a scene of Thor's bare naked ass, and an ending like this in the same movie? Who was this movie supposed to appeal to?

*And how were the kids sleeping soundly in bed when they got captured when there was a literal mini war with these monsters happening outside their house? ????

*There's no variation among the gods? They're all just clueless, dummies that only care about orgies ???

*Sif is an Asgardian warrior......how would she not know how Valhalla works? She's laying in a barren iceland with a chopped off arm, and they're joking..??
*Thor explains to Sif that you have to die in battle to go to Valhalla...but she was still alive, so she wouldn't of went to Valhalla if she had died....but, Jane didn't die in battle..but she still went to Valhalla.

*Valkyrie..."i'm too hurt to fight, you'll have to take this one, Thor".....what? Supposed to be one of Asgard's most legendary warriors, and the fate of all gods is at stake, and you're like...'nah...can't do it bro, i might die"?

*The idea of Jane as a Thor had a lot of potential, but it was just really poorly executed.

*Why did they make Eternity a genie...? Why would Eternity be granting wishes to people that reach him?
And if Eternity could do that, and Thor is aware of him, why couldn't they have just went to him to reverse Thanos' actions with the infinity stones?

*Why would Gorr...a guy that is trying to wipe out gods, then go to basically an uber god for help? The necro sword seemed to feed off of being used....so how would Gorr taking a shortcut be in its best interests?

*Holy fuck was the goats bit played the fuck out.

*What was even the point of the Korg mating story? It played no part at all in the movie--we never met this "Duane" character. So, why?

*Everybody can jus handle Stormbreaker now? Some little girl, and she's Thor's sidekick now? GTFO.

*And Thor can just make an army of Thors with some magic words on random objects?

IMHO, No Way Home is the only Phase 4 movie to reach the elite level of Winter Soldier, Civil War and Infinity War. Because it treats it's subject matter - loss, grief, responsibility - as seriously as it should. Yeah, there are some goofy moments and jokes, but they don't feel out of place or overstay their welcome. They help to lighten what is otherwise a very dark movie indeed.

And yeah, you could say a lot of it's success is based on nostalgia. But that doesn't mean the actors, writers etc can just sit back and let the audience do all the work. NWH and Maverick treated their subject matter with respect, so the films were great and the fans responded. The Star Wars Sequels figured the fans would shell out for any kind of hot garbage if they slapped the IP's name on it. And to a certain extent, they were right, although the movies and shows have been losing fans steadily.

oh, and Christian Bale was amazing.

Such a waste of an incredible actor. Every review I've read or heard agrees on one thing: Bale acts his ass off, as he always does. And Gorr's scenes, especially at the beginning, are the best things about this movie.

Funny, but when the very first trailer dropped, I said that it looked like Bale was almost in a different movie from the rest of the cast. Turns out he was in a better one.
