Take Christian Bale as Gorr the God Butcher, Natalie Portman as scientist Jane Foster who now has superpowers of her own, Russell Crowe as the partying god Zeus, and cameos from Matt Damon and Melissa McCarthy, put them in a blender and the result will resemble the wacky movie, Thor: Love and Thunder.
Director Taika Waititi (who also voices the stony Korg) specializes in wicked and weird stories and this latest movie is no different. Waititi gives Thor (Chris Hemsworth) both comedy and tragedy. Plenty of laughs, but your eyes might get a little misty from time to time.
From the scenes with Guardians of the Galaxy to the Zeusettes reaction when Zeus strips Thor of his clothes to the competition between Thor’s magical hammer Mjolnir and Thor’s current weapon Stormbreaker to the Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) and Thor’s Asgardian girl friend Sir (Jaimie Alexander), Thor: Love and Thunder will take you on a wild ride.
