The oldies who didn't get enough love during theInfinity Saga have been highlighted by the MCU. Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman will reprise their roles as the thunder god and the damsel in distress, respectively, in this weekend's THOR: LOVE AND THUD. One of the most interesting villains in recent comics history, and Taika Waititi back to direct and also co- write the film, Love & Thunder should be an instant knock out.
Yes, no. The final film is not well received by the critical and audience boards. The tone and writing are not selling as well as they could. It will do well at the box office because of how much it lit our world on fire and how much L&T isn't winning people over. We want you to tell us what you thought of the film if you saw it.
The criticisms of its tone are dead on even though I mostly enjoyed it. Between Jane's cancer getting accelerated by wielding Mjolnir and Bale's Gorr being a horror movie creature that feels like he'd be better home with Sam Raimi the goofy antics of Odinson stand out all the more. Levity is good and there are some good gags, but the humor feels too pleased with itself.
It feels like the movie is just barely interested in exploring Jane THOR in any real way. Her comics incarnation felt so alive and vulnerable while also being a force of nature, that it's a real disappointment that her story gets breezed by. The biggest issue with the movie is that it feels like a TV show concept stapled awkwardly into a movie where most of his earth friends are dead or retired. They both feel like guest stars in each other's stories, with the only thing connecting them being Gorr, who would probably be better as an antagonist for Jane.
It is important that the movie gets a different ending, one that is actually earned. It feels wrong for the movie to show that the gods are shit, since a child is something he has always wanted, and galivanting across the universe is something he wants. We will see Jane as a Valkyrie within the next couple of years. I didn't like the last 10 minutes of the movie.
Let us know what you thought of the film's post-credits scenes. In the comments, okay?
