Good afternoon Chris bro! Love your review! (I think I’m worthy enough to have the Mjolnir popcorn 🍿 hammer!”😂🔥🤟 Anyways!! I really liked the way it still has some aspects of a serious and comedic tone it gives out.. I love how they introduce powerful entities:The Gods ! There’s so much to grasp and Thor is growing more as a superhero ,as a protector and as a new foster Father! It really made me feel like a kid when seeing the cool fight scenes-but I wish it was a bit longer and wished we explored a bit more depth Gorr the god butcher Overall can’t wait for future projects for Thor and all the Og hero’s ! Thanks for having the time to give us your review ! And for having the time in reading our Marvel geek reviews aswell! Hope you have a great ass day ! -Ivan🦸🏽♂️🦸🏽♂️
Personally, I loved this movie. I believe it truly had a balance between the comedic angle and dramatic side as well. I found myself emotionally attached to each of the characters and their journeys and by the time the film ended I was heart broken but beyond excited for what can happen next with the character of Thor. I am a long time fan and subscriber of your channel and would love to be worthy of the popcorn bucket!
I thought the biggest problem was the run time. If you give it an extra 30 minutes, those emotional beats could really hit home and you can setup the crazy ending better. I like the idea of Thor have a daughter to live for. There’s some really fun story telling potential there.. overall it was really fun but would have become pretty top tier if they stretched those out.
What?! Lol this movie was so bad… bad acting and worse writing. It’s such a basic movie (like most superhero movies)…. I will never understand why people overhype superhero movies
No it could have still had the right run Time a lot of it comes down to the editing And a good amount of the time editing can make or break our actors performance depending on the materials angles and shots given Also Dialog was a huge if you were to have given Gore the God butcher 1 or 2 extra lines or add it or change the word even Could have changed our perspective of the whole butchering thing regardless even having seen him do it or not
I think Korg was kind of the biggest problem in the movie, when Zeus hit him with his thunderbolt they should have let him die do give more of an impact and more reason for thor to continue the quest to find Gorr.
I don’t know why but it’s so bizarre to see other big RU-vidrs commenting on other RU-vidrs videos. It’s like you know they’re normal people and why wouldn’t they comment there thoughts. But it’s still bizarre to see them actually comment
This was such a solid analysis. I'm always impressed with how together and cohesive your points are while being open minded and stating genuine concerns. I sit in a similar place of my enjoyment level. Twas fun, but a little more goofy than I initially expected.
It was disappointing how Gorr didn’t get more screen time. I would’ve loved seeing him being a creepy dude and an actual threat. We should’ve seen more of an impact left by Gorr.
I agree, I wanted more from Jane too, about her cancer and how she was able to wield the hammer. Gorr reminded me of Jared Nomak from Blade 2 fused with Uncle Fester.
I actually cried out loud when korg got hit by the lightning bolt. I've never been so upset in such a short time space. Then, of course Zeus is 'supposedly' brutally killed by thor, I honestly just stopped feeling anything in pure shock. Then I was full of relief when korg was alive. Thank god! I would like the popcorn tin because damn what a flex it would be to walk into a cinema with that to be filled with popcorn instead lol
Anyone else kinda bummed we never got to see Gorr the god butcher butcher any gods? Like we saw a bit of aftermath and one light kill early on but kinda wanted to see Gorr in full Gorr anger mode eviscerate a god, thought it would be Zeus before I saw the movie, but felt it had the same issue as Carnage in Venom 2.
Me personally I really enjoyed the movie, I thought it was just a fun wacky Thor adventure, I really loved Thor and Jane in this movie and I did tear up at the end, I didn’t think the jokes made it hard to take the movie seriously but after I rewatch it maybe my opinion will change. But overall I liked it and it was a nice change of pace after doctor strange.
Your review is spot-on the exact thoughts I have about the movie after watching. Personally not a fan of how Gorr is just convinced by a speech but the ending making sense of 'Love and Thunder' made me glad. At least this movie does deliver on its title unlike a not-so-mad multiverse movie with barely any multiverse in it. My biggest gripe with this movie is that we don't see the God Butcher butcher anyone let alone any gods. Because of that, there's really no reason to fear him. He doesn't even draw blood from Thor or anything. A very brutal villain, wasted. Saved only by Christian Bale's amazing face acting. It is kinda sad though that the conversation around most of the Phase 4 films is mostly about what they could've been. A lot of the movies have so far felt like wasted potential and missed opportunities.
Gorr was definitely my favorite part of the entire movie even through he had a short amount of screen time, the movie imo is just fine, a definite 7/10 for me
I'm not against Thor granting the kids his power and abilities. I actually think that was a clever nod to how Odin was able to do that for the hammer. I took it as more of, when his father passed on, it was a power that he could do now. But hey, I could be wrong.
I really enjoyed the movie, I thought that it was a bit too silly though. The emotional moments really did hit, but I wanted to see more Gorr. Natalie Portman did great, and Chris Hemsworth was doing good as well. We added scenes of Gore actually killing the gods. The ending was pretty wholesome though.
Also the kids fighting scene is actually hilarious. I thought that was pretty original and crazy scene but it was one of my favorite parts for it’s out there nature.
This was a great take. I couldn’t figure out how to articulate what I didn’t like about it but this summed it up well- why I love your page so much! My biggest knock was, as you said, the fact they didn’t show Gorr killing any gods. That would’ve made me appreciate how big of a deal he was. But on the flip side Bale’s performance is the main reason the movie was decent. He crushed it. Thanks for another great video
Gorr having that creepy ass conversation with the Asgardian kids was probably one of my favorite parts. Very compelling and hypnotic. That and Zeus was great as well.
Even after a full watch, I’m still mixed on how the comedy affects this film specifically. Felt like I could’ve loved the dramatic moments more if they spent more time on fleshing out the parallels between Jane’s cancer deadline and Gorr’s dying vengeance. If they took these moments more seriously, this could’ve easily been one of the most emotionally resonant films in the MCU.
What's weird is that in the comics Gorr comes across two gods fighting, which we later learn was the Enigma Force and a manifestation of Knull god of Symbiotes. You can't say for 100% certain that the god of Gorr's people was neglecting them due to having been in battle. But the film just goes ahead a picks what kind of god they "needed" to tell the story.
I feel that Gorr in the comics was a lot scarier. You got up close and personal with his kills and the god-murdering backstory was done better. I also think he’d be way scarier if he was taken seriously by the heroes.
It’s great to see Hercules enter the MCU, but I was really hoping that post credit scene was going to FINALLY be given to Beta Ray Bill. I’ve pretty much given up on BRB at this point.
I enjoyed the movies, just wish it kept more of a serious tone sometimes. And I can feel a bigger connection with Thor now. Since he uses this more humor to cover his pain. After going through it all and not getting anyone to check up on him for a while. Love your Review man, and hope to see more in the future
I really enjoined the film it made me laugh the visuals were amazing. Christian Bale as gorr was BRILLIANT every time he was on screen he was actually scary one of the Best phase 4 films so far (in my opinion)
I honestly think they made his sorrow moments come off as jokes because “Thor” himself needed to think of them that way to be able to deal with the situations. At the end of the film we see that jokes got less and less the more he started to accept those things that happened which helped develop him into the the Thor at the end.. Goddad!
I loved this movie. I did think some of the jokes were unneeded or over cringe. Gor was the best part of the movie for me. He is now one of my favorite marvel villains. I love Christian Bale and he played the character perfectly. All in all Thor love and thunder is a welcome addition to the MCU in my opinion.
I thought the movie was decent and definitely felt like a movie with personality and heart. Sometimes the humour didn’t land and took away the impact of serious moments. Gorr and Janes story felt rushed but overall were decent characters. Wish we saw Gorr taking on some gods before we see him interact with Thor.
its actually my favorite thor movie out of the 4 and gorr was an awesome villan but i do agree there was certain parts where they should of had a more serious note also good job on everything chris i always look forward to seeing your videos
I liked it, it really *striked* me. I was actually in a theater that had *thunderous* applause when we all saw Jane. Her work with mjonir really *hammered* in my like for Jane foster as the mighty thor.
I really liked Gorr’s story because it was targeted to be sad and emotional. But it was kinda rushed. When I saw Hercules I really was excited because Thor and Hercules are rivals in the comics. Hercules will probably team up with Thor. I also found the perfect balance in between the jokes and serious moments.
I honestly don’t feel like it was too silly. I heard it before going into the movie but was actually surprised by how well they handled each scene talking about Jane’s cancer. Even Gorr’s scenes in the shadow realm stayed pretty dark and creepy throughout. Even when Jane was telling Thor about the cancer the reason for joking during that scene was because nervousness. I thought Gorr’s scenes were very well done and had great emotion in them. Even the ending of the film made me tear up.
I definitely enjoyed it! I thought that the ending was a bit lazily written and rushed, but really liked Gorr and Thor and Jane’s relationship! Would like to be in the running for the Mojilnor!
I think it was 9.5/10 The story is really good They nailed it Gorr was terrifying (really good enemy) The humor was spot on The death of Jane made me 😢
The moment I knew it wouldn't be my thor movie was when thor shouts and calms the crowd where 'king' Valkyrie couldn't, the way people go silent I truly felt the king in thor, but the movie has to make a joke..
When they left zeus' palace there were two giants outside that resemble galactus and the room with that lead to the Eternal had serious Galactus vibes, especially the head of the statue Thor saved from falling on the children. I would say maybe Thor can give his powers temporarily to Asgardians but some of those kids claimed to not be Asgardians. Maybe he can't do it with Humans. Also didn't they say anyone who reaches the Eternal can be granted one wish? Why didn't Thor wish to save Jane?
I really enjoy it as a movie to play in the background, or just to have as a dumb fun kind of movie. I loved everything involving Jane and most of the stuff with Gorr (except like the corruption stuff). The emotional scenes still hit for me but I just don’t get why the movie is layered with jokes. I got invested enough with Gorr and Jane but for the love of god they kind of butchered Thor (some puns in there). Really if they just made Thor more reasonable I would like the movie SO much more but I feel like the jokes just absolutely smothered Thor into a completely different character. And I feel a bit skeptical abt Thor taking care of Gorrs daughter bc it feels a little random but whatever. I guess we’ll have to see where that goes. Personally I’d give it a solid 6 or 7 but that could definitely change.
I don't think Thor adopting Gorr's daughter was that random. This whole movie is about finding "something to feel shitty about" or in other words: something to love and live for. With Jane he lost the love of his life, but now he reached a new stage of his life where he can become a father and be there for someone else and love her. I think that's actually quite beautiful
Personally, I loved this movie. I believe it truly had a balance between the comedic angle and dramatic side as well. I found myself emotionally attached to each of the characters and their journeys and by the time the film ended I was heart broken but beyond excited for what can happen next with the character of Thor. I am a long time fan and subscriber of your channel and would love to be worthy of the popcorn bucket
Personally I loved this felt really fun but it also had those fantastic darker moments. The acting is fantastic. Some VFX looked strange but most of it looked great. The soundtrack was also great too! Overall this was great and yes the humor was much too much but when it got serious it was really great!
The problemnofbthe movie is that: they didnt get us attached with characters, all emotional moments doesnt feel emotional, its too short so it doesnt feel like a story but a cutted slideshot, they do everything funny
Personally, I loved the movie One of (if not the best) marvel movies ever. I went into this expecting it to be light-hearted throughout the film, but then they introduced Jane's cancer and Thor's journey of loneliness made me feel more invested than I thought I would be for any marvel movie. I loved how it gained shock value as well due to them killing Jane. I feel like we expected her to live for the "New Avengers" as an OG Thor replacement, but instead, this wasn't an introduction to mighty thor, it was more of a send-off. And I feel like the humor hit nearly perfect. This is just a personal review, and maybe a slight sense of bias due to the fact I'm a HUGE fan of Taika and Chris. And the bucket looks sick btw!
I found it to be very great, and funny while also bringing the emotions when it came to the darker moments, and I did not expect them to kill Jane the way they did
I just wish that we were able to get something more like Ragnarok, a perfect mix of comedy, action, and drama. I wish they did something with The Guardians. They could have came and helped at the end or they could have replaced the kids fighting the shadow creatures. Gorr was obviously the best part of it. The movie's biggest problem was that it was too goofy, it felt like it was more of a comedy movie. Another awesome thing they did with it and Ragnarok was that it is based around the main song, Love and Thunder being "Sweet Child of Mine" and Ragnarok being "Immigrant Song". I wish they did something with Surtur, and we all need a little more of Jeff Goldblum's Grandmaster (who doesn't?). Also, in the end where was Valkyrie? I wish that they actually killed Korg because if they did then they would have a reason to push on, like Agent Coulson in Avengers. Also, Zeus should be dead, I feel like he should die, and then Hercules should come after Thor. Anyways, in all it was a meh. 4/10. Also, the popcorn bucket looks really cool! Would love to have it!
This movie feels like Taika Waititi wrote a Thor movie, then another guy wrote a pardoy of Ragnorok, and the bumped into each other and all the pages got put together, making Thor a parody of Thor. I also think they underutilized Christian Bale and his talent. Overall, I enjoyed it, but I wish it had been a little more serious and had a longer runtime for more Gorr. I have liked and subscribed, keep up the good work!
I loved it it was really funny gorr was super menacing the characters were likable the action scenes were great it’s was also sad and the ending was amazing it’s probably my favorite Thor movie I’m sorry but I really can’t see some of the criticisms your talking about
That everything isn’t supposed to be funny and especially not thor, there were no truly scary parts because everytime they got close it was another joke.
Tbh I expected Thor to call in the Guardians of the Galaxy near the end, but I understand why they were just in it in the beginning. There was trouble everywhere and they had to be at different places.
@3C Films my favorite parts is when Thor, Mighty Thor, and Valkyrie fought Zeus and guards in the city of god's, them fighting Gorr the god butcher in the shadowrealm and the screaming goats
I agree with your thoughts regarding the excessive use of comedy at the expense of telling a powerful story. I also noticed the apparent regression of Thor’s character in this film. I feel that after three previous installments and four Avengers films the character would have made some progress. I also noticed the idea of Thor forsaking the life of a warrior for one of peace, as was advertised in the trailers, barely lasted for five minutes before it was back to smashing things. That was actually a progression I was looking forward to watching. I also think that approach would have better served Thor’s relationship with Jane in this film. Their scenes together were actually my favorite ones of the film, and I also agree that there were many missed opportunities to tell a deeper story of reconnection, which would have provided more closure to me personally at the end of the film. I actually went into this hoping for a deeper, more serious story. The material for that was present, but it wasn’t fully executed. Instead we received a film that was, in my view, too short to properly develop the relationships, and one that sacrificed the deeper material that was included for comedic relief.
Everything you said in your first review is exactly how I felt about the movie to a tee! I felt like there was a great movie hidden in here with Gorr's story, Jane's story, and Thor's character arc, but fleshing these out was sacrificed for the sake of cringy jokes most times. Overall an alright movie, but could've been really good.
My son and I waited to watch your review until now - as we just left the theatre today… We both enjoyed this newest installation of Thor Love and Thunder - we have it a B-. We liked Ragnarok a little bit better but this one kept our attention throughout. Wished the Guardians of the Galaxy were in it with some more scenes (Drax with some more dialogue and an expansion of that first water fighting scene) - kept waiting for them to return at the end. Can’t wait to see the next installment of Thor and the girl growing up - which can only be assumed will happen (Thor 5).
I think you are missing the fact that even though he is a God he is still just a thousands year old human to Asgard. That means he can still be human and revert to their old selves around certain situations. Great video
I think that it was creative of Taika to create a new character in thhe Thor franchise because Gorr never had a daughter and now he does which can add to Thors story and his character development, but also I think that it was kind of dumb to bring back Jane just for her to die.
If there were more screentime with Gorr and his daughter, like if he told stories of the god he worshipped to his daughter, or something, then It would have made his corruption more impactful.
Yes you hit it right on the head Chris with the theme in Phase 4 of rushing stuff to set things up for the future! Marvel wants to get the future started ASAP as long as they have the big ticket stars around. Marvel hopefully to go back teelling stories in a set up manner in Phase 5 in a "Earned" style because most of the big starts are seeming to be gone
I like to believe that because the handle was made by Groot forcing his hand to put it together and then cutting it off that it off that it still has some sentience but it's fused with the Uru making a whole new consciousness
I believe the reason why marvel is making every villain have something corrupt them is to make them more relatable, like it’s not entirely their fault . It’s marvel’s way of trying to tell us that they want their villains to mean more.
As Per THOR Raising A Daughter... There WAS An MARVEL Animated Film Called: "YoungAvengers; Heroes Of Tommorow" Which Was Baced On A Few ComicBook Stories!
It does seem like there's a deleted scene somewhere where it explains that when Odin died, his power went to Thor which would explain all the bonus powers. Although for the one where he gave the kids power and why it wouldn't come up again, there is some precedent for that, it's DC precedent, but it's precedent. In certain depictions of Shazam (Billy Batson Captain Marvel), it's shown that him being able to share his power with others is through the power of Zeus, and since Thor had Zeus's Thunderbolt, that means he had his power, so as long as we don't see him have it, that will explain why he can't share his power with others.
I pretty much agreed with everything you said. I was disappointed that Lady Sif wasn’t a bigger part of the story, because I remember there was a synopsis released some time ago that said Valkyrie was gonna seek out a Queen, and one of my theories was that she would end up with Lady Sif. Also, I don’t know if Thor being an adoptive father makes all that much sense to me. Lastly, since when did Heimdall have a son??
As a dad this movie hit me at the end. I loved that Gorr just wanted his daughter back and literally brought the gods to their knees to achieve it. Better than a villain with no real motive. And yeah it was kinda fast but I loved it for what it was. ⚡⚡⚡
Love the show bud!! Always giving me something to look forward to! FYI since you said the little girl that plays Gorr's daughter is charming. That is Chris Hemsworth's real daughter. A little fun fact for you.
Love your content bro can I pleaseeee get that popcorn bucket, I barely missed it. They sold out like 2 minutes before I got there. I actually really liked this movie and I think it’s top 5 mcu. I think ragnarok is 6th and now this is 5th
Bale's acting in the beginning made me think this movie was going to be on Winter Soldier levels of great but then I remembered hearing Taika say he wanted the movie to be a romcom and it went directly like that. Taika has shown to take directing serious if you've seen his episode of The Mandalorian, so I don't understand why he didn't do that here. Dark World is the worst MCU movie but I loved the seriousness of it (never watching it again, I won't force myself to do it). This movie could've used it cause Thor had fought countless villains and heroes in the comics on a serious level. If Taika does direct the 5th movie, I hope he tones down the comedy and adds more serious tones to the threats. Zeus killed me though, loved Russel Crow as Zeus. Jor-El and Zeus, damn that's awesome. If Henry Cavill was Hercules that would've been krazy.
I feel like in another world this could’ve been one of my favorite MCU movies. But the comedy always undercutting the story, Thor’s regression as a character, and Gorr/Bale’s criminal underutilization really killed most of my enjoyment.
I don’t mind that he can give the kids powers, he did give them to Jane, and the hammer gave them to Steve and Odin gave them to Thor, makes sense that that’s something he could eventually do, also Shazam did the same thing and nobody cared
I think phase four needs more evil competent villains. The thing I liked about Green Goblin from no way home is that the goblin persona wasn’t a victim of something, or anything cliche like that. Instead he was centered around pain, chaos, and power. The villains we have now are just anti-villains, or antagonists that have justifiable motives. Idk, I’m not sure where marvel is taking phase 4.
