Thor Love and Thunder Movie Review
thor love and thunder is a full-blown comedy
more in line with austin powers than say
thor one i’m not mad i’m disappointed
director taika ytt is back for thor love and
thunder after doing thor ragnarok which i
thought was awesome i love thor ragnarok it’s one
of my favorite mcu movies definitely in the top
10 range for me so after seeing this i start to
question my own taste that’s not fair to myself
thor ragnarok is absolutely awesome still because
it does a great job marrying action comedy drama
and spectacle into one beautiful two-hour film
this however goes so far in the comedy space
that anytime something serious happens you’re
just waiting for the next joke to discredit it
as my intro stated i’m not mad i’m disappointed
because i didn’t hate thor love and thunder when i
realized very early on that this was not gonna be
a movie i could take seriously and i’m just here
to get some laughs and walk away and not think
twice about this film ever again the part that
disappoints me is it should have been so much more
especially hot off the heels of some great thor
outings in both ragnarok and infinity war slash
endgame hemsworth doesn’t miss a beat playing the
character
a god he’s massive he’s impressive to look at he’s
a specimen beyond all compare his dialogue however
and the way he carries himself our full-blown
parody at this point he’s a character of his of
thor one and two joining him on his misadventures
is natalie portman as jane remember remember
jane everyone’s favorite from from the old films
sarcasm after an extended break she’s back in the
mix this time dining her own armor and that hammer
that trusty mjorn mjornin your i can never say
it the hammer that thor loves and that’s where
the bulk of the comedy comes from not so much his
infatuation with jane and the one that got away
but that of his hammer and how he has to deal with
stormbreaker and the jealousy between these two
objects again it’s it’s zoolander okay it’s austin
powers there were a series of web shorts that came
out years ago where chris hemsworth played thor
but he was in a more comical situation like an
office space or just in an apartment with a
roommate these were only like five to ten minute
long things and they were just total comedies
through and through they were very funny i liked
them i never really thought of them as being part
of the thor universe though they were just kind
of their own little spin-off things i think thor
love and thunder and i hate myself for saying this
because almost all the disney plus shows are trash
would have worked better as a disney plus show and
with it would be the understanding that this is
not the thor 4 we were expecting to see this is
like a side story a fun little spin-off and then
we would get the real thor for in in a year or so
i brought up jane i’m not done with you yet missy
everything she says is absolute cringe and that’s
not the fault of natalie portman although i feel
like i say that a lot but maybe it is her fault
too anyway she plays lady thor here she’s flying
around jumping doing all sorts of cool stuff
and i was worried it wouldn’t be justified she
would just get the hammer because she’s suddenly
worthy and that would be that but no a lot of
montages in this but he does take some time
to build this character and why she’s worthy
and and the explanation behind it is actually
very compelling and dramatic it should be far more
dramatic actually and there’s lots of stuff like
that sprinkled through this script where i could
look at it and say man there was actually a really
good emotional story at the core here but taki
just wanted to make a comedy so all the stuff that
should be focused on is just brushed aside
it’s just glossed over so quickly because
the jane foster stuff that was a movie and it’s a
movie that i think would have worked really well
it’s funny kat dennings shows up for a small
little scene here and she was the comic relief
in the first two thor movies that were much more
serious now somehow she’s like the straight man
of these films because they’ve gotten so looney
tunes bonkers she comes off as the most sane one
just a weird uh weird flip ragnarok’s valkyrie and
korg are both back they’re perfect zero complaints
about them i would have liked to see even more
valkyrie the guardians of the galaxy are here too
briefly for about five to eight minutes they don’t
last long which sucks i wanted them in this longer
especially with the t’s at the end of
end game that this was going to be a
as guardians of the galaxy adventure they would go
on the dark knight himself christian bale is here
playing gore not to be confused with thor or korg
lots of a lot of ores in this film i’m not gonna
lie i was getting some tommy lee jones batman
and robin vibes from this guy uh it’s unfortunate
christian bill’s an amazing actor but again i
think it’s because he’s kind of overly serious
and hamming it up contrasting that with everyone
else who looks like they’re in a space jam movie
it’s tough it’s a tough thing to see i said
this works better as a disney plus show not just
because of the script but because of virtually
everything happening in here this is a movie
that probably costs a stupid amount of money
but looks like a tv show production often times
they’re not even trying anymore it’s just scene
after scene of actors in front of green screens
i’m so sick of it like i know nothing’s real and
granted yeah oftentimes they’re in big coliseums
or on a different planet and you know we don’t
have that stuff readily available but you can
build things i’ve seen lord of the rings they
build [ __ ] they make costumes that don’t look
like knockoffs from that pop-up halloween store
and that’s another thing these costumes are so bad
thor looks like a jackass in this in this movie
everything is just noise and not only is the
noise coming from the colors it’s coming from
the music and the sound effects remember this
screaming goat meme from a couple years back
pepperidge farm remembers he uses it like 15
times and i’m not even being over the top i
think there’s 15 legitimate goat screams in
this a lot of action in this it’s 50 50 whether
it’s played as a serious moment or something
out of a hot shots film and again 90 of it’s
in front of a green screen with fake weapons
so it’s just watching actors pretending like
they’re me like in front of a green screen
throws the hammer sprays off always
goat sound effect
guns and roses song number three playing in the
background and speaking of which what the hell
happened here does disney have stock in guns n
roses merchandise or what what sort of synergy
[ __ ] is taking place not only is their guns
and roses songs prominently featured there’s
a poster in the background of a kid’s bedroom
another kid is wearing a guns and roses t-shirt
what is going on with the guns and roses there’s
a kid in the movie that wants to be called axel
i don’t i don’t get this there is some jackass
executive that’s using this whole film as a case
study to sell to different bands or some [ __ ]
i guarantee you they’re like all right uh let’s
put a guns and roses song in here and let’s have
a t-shirt and a kid change his name and all this
stuff and then we’re gonna look at spotify and
itunes and record sales we’re gonna look at the
charts and the schematics and we’re gonna see what
changes and how much influence we have and then we
can package that and sell that going forward as a
perk like look we’re making the next black panther
you want to be the next kendrick lamar we got a
slot for you it only cost seven million dollars
we’ll drop a name we’ll have a kid wear a backpack
maybe a hat that’s cash money penis in your pocket
baby long story short if you’re looking for a thor
movie that’s going to respect the source material
it’s going to treat gods and goddesses and
different characters walks of life with respect
don’t don’t watch this movie if you go in with the
knowledge that this really is nothing more than
a comedy you can get some laughs out of it and
you can have a good time like i did just because
i enjoyed it on a superficial level though
doesn’t mean i’m not incredibly disheartened
absolutely devastated that
this is the route they went
huge misstep for me huge i talked long enough
now i want to hear from you let me know in the
comments if you saw thor love and thunder or
if you have zero interest because of what you
heard or what you’ve seen so far maybe you don’t
like ragnarok in which case i can’t imagine a
single living being would like this film
if they don’t like ragnarok in fact this
is one of those movies where you’re not going
to gain any new supporters and you’re probably
going to lose a good chunk of them that came
from thor 3. make sure to take that hammer and
smash that subscribe button so you don’t miss a
single episode i post tons of movie and tv show
related content all the time i’m about to watch
the finale of boys season three and then i plan on
doing a review of that whole show so far so stick
around for that and hopefully i see you next time
what the hell was russell crowe in this he
he was supposed to be zeus but he came off
like that gay golden robot from futurama can’t
remember his name the caesar bot or whatever
