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. GRADE: B
Not going to the movies any time soon, but we’ll see this when we can. Jackie is a fan of the Thor movies.
Jeff, Diane enjoys the humor in the Thor movies. Disney+ will have it in 45 days. The Doctor Strange movie is available now on Disney+.
Who could have predicted how dominant these films would be-plus related TV fare.
Patti, MARVEL movies tap into the need for escapism. Stan Lee, who constructed much of the Marvel Universe, knew how to engage his audience…and keep them coming back for more. The producers at MARVEL STUDIOS follow the same play-book!
“Goofy” definitely appeals to Jackie.
Jeff, the hallmark of the MARVEL movies has been humor amid all the battles and special effects. Diane loved the wackiness of THOR: RAGNAROK which carries over to THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER!
