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.

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?

Fuck I also gave it a 4 and I might have to give it a 2 or 3 after remembering there are even more shitty parts . Feige needed to be more hands on in this.

yeah, after @SmilinDesperado's write I realize a 4 is generous. Although I did like aspects of the 2nd half. 2 or 3 seems fair.

Yep. Honestly, the 4 was generous. The only reason why I rated it that high was because of how good I thought Bale was, and because I know how good it COULD HAVE been with all of those pieces in play.
I"m not sure which was the bigger disappointment for me this year between this and MoM, but this movie left me nothing to look forward to in the future from this branch of the MCU.

I don't mean about the worthiness aspect of it. Back in Infinity War, Thor told the Guardians that they couldn't wield Stormbreaker because the power of the weapon would destroy their minds and bodies.

and now 10 year olds can handle it no problem. Not just about the power of the weapon, but it looks ridiculous physically seeing a child use a ginormous mega axe
 
I read an article on my phone today that pointed out that Phase 4 has already produced 55 hours worth of viewing. And is still no nearer to a coherent through-line. All of Phases 1 - 3 had Thanos and Infinity War/Endgame as it's focus. Even movies that didn't directly advance the story arc had an effect on the main characters that paid off in the final movies.

In Phase 4, so far, there's no sense of moving towards a final goal. No overarching Big Bad. Thanos had already been mentioned or shown in multiple films before Infinity War. Kang, if he is the next Big Bad, has only appeared in Loki. And then died. We haven't even seen his Variant yet.
 
Some of you guys knew this movie was bad and still went anyway. At some point you have to understand that these studios won’t change unless your buying habits change. What incentive do they have to make better movies if they know they can fart out anything and make an easy 150 million domestically opening weekend. It’s the same with gamers and complaints of remakes. Vote with your wallet. I watched the trailer and didn’t even crack s smile so I knew it would suck. Don’t hate on me I’m just giving my brutally honest opinion here.
 
I was dissatisfied. Entertaining but disappointing when considering what it could have been. 5/10

Feels like the writing, directing, and editing all negatively impacted the film. All of the actors did their best, but way too much forced comedy and a Jane Foster storyline that may have not been needed. Gorr’s story should have been more than enough than needing Jane and the Mighty Thor plot.

Gorr in the comics was so much better. Bale did great but the writing and director let him down.
 
I gave it a 7 because i wasnt bored. I liked it better than the batman, dr strange, but not as much as maverick or spiderman.

These post credit scenes are always stupid. Always see them later on the internet.

I mean she's has laser eyes, she's not a normal human. Not to mention she's also resurrected via an Eternity super wish, she could be all kinds of powerful now, which might be why he's raising her to be a hero versus giving her a home with the Asgard kids

Sadly, I have to agree. It will be interesting to see the opening weekend numbers, as well as the drop off next week. If Disney are still making big profits off these movies, they're not going to change the formula.
 
man i was hoping this movie would be good

saw the new dr strange movie few nights ago, meh
