Film Thor: Love and Thunder

[dinostar77]

This is one of those marvel movies, you can watch at home on disney+ when its released. If you dont watch it at all, you wont miss anything for phase 4.

 

[Vapor trail]

Haven't watched it but wanted to see the consensus from the posts. I think Marvel and more specifically Disney are becoming a bigger joke the more time passes. Most of the film's for me are more misses than hits. The CGI criticisms are no suprise, end war had some of the worst fight scenes due to poor visibility throughout especially the beginning with Loki.

 

[FrankDrebin]

Its time to kill the MCU.

Was considering waiting for this to hit streaming but all this Guns n Roses talk has made it a must-see.

 

[Donaldo]

24 hours and I'm still annoyed I went to watch this at the cinema.

Compared to how they used Led Zeppelin in Ragnarok, this was laughably bad.

 

[Sweet Square]

Generally expect "it's another Marvel film, no more no less" type reviews so seeing people actively dislike one is often more likely to provoke interest in seeing it.

Sums up every discussion thats been had about these type of movies.

Kermode can give a detailed review as to why he thought the film was shite and the other guy thought it was laugh out loud funny but can’t remember anything about the film and then gets annoyed when asked.

 

[SalfordRed18]

Just watched , much much better than expected. Really enjoyed it. I'd go as far to say the best film of the phase (which isn't saying much tbf).

 

[Maluco]

I think it’s a real pity the tone of this was all over the place because Christian Bale is criminally underused. He steals every scene and is able to create more emotion in his very limited screen time than the main story.

 

[Jimble]

Did anyone stay for the post credit scenes. Loved that little cameo.

Which is shame and ,frankly, laughable because he's arguably the most talented and varied actor they've had in this series since Brolin.

I was just saying the same thing to my wife. If you get an actor of his calibre, you give him everything you can. He was given nothing and was able to elevate what he had so much just based on his ability as an actor.

It would have been a much better film if he had had more to do.

 

[sglowrider]

The movie was bad because of several possibilities:

1) Poor editing
2) Poor script
3) Director had too little to work with
4) Director was on drugs when he did this movie.
5) All of the above

The whole thing was so choppy like it was written by committee and it was filled with insider jokes or something. Lots of cameos that added little to the story. I barely remember anything about the movie 3 days after watching it.

 

[Donaldo]

48 hours later and I'm still pissed off I watched this crap.

Bale was superb but so laughably underutilised that they could've just not bothered at all. Im shocked he went for the role, even though I'm sure it was lucrative.

 

[Raven]

I thought it was pretty hilarious, I don't particularly like marvel movies either.

 

[Mart1974]

Saw it yesterday with my daughter. Thought it was great. The comedy was funny, the action was good and there was a real sense of drama with the Jane story arch and the choices facing Bale's character.

That's the nice thing, since everyone gives a lengthy standing ovation to the movie they automatically stay long enough to catch any post credit scenes.

 

[Mrs Smoker]

Doesn't look good for Phase 5, unless component B and D from Subsection Alpha in the Cosmic branch delivers in the fourth quarter.

Actually still annoyed at how little they gave him. It’s really frustrating because he was superb with so little. You should never leave a movie feeling annoyed. He deserved so much better and could have elevated the movie so much.

Btw, with Eternity being there all along to make a wish ...Thor should have just gone there after IW and he could have made the wish and not ended up fat

Thats the problem with make believe...

Though wouldn't Thanos just snap again.

I thought it was decent. My kids loved it, especially the screaming goats.

Well now you got me all unsure again...

 

[big rons sovereign]

Watched it last night. It was shit.
That's it, that's the review.

 

[JoaquinJoaquin]

This has been bothering me more and more. Black Panther is where it really started turning me off. Looking now at the big NYC fight in Avengers 1 versus what we see today, I truly feel like the effects have in many ways gone backwards.

Speaking of which, I just seen the trailer for Black Adam, which looks like CGI hell, and an awful movie.

 

[JoaquinJoaquin]

I liked this movie, but it contributed very little to the MCU.

I think the only way to truly salvage the MCU at this point is to do Avengers vs X-Men. But I can't see that happening.

It's crazy. For years a criticism of the MCU was how everything was too linked, a director couldn't just come in and create a good standalone film, it had to be apart of the wider story.

In this phase, majority of films have been fairly standalone, not really worrying about a wider story and certainly not building to any major threat, but thats been frowned upon.

I think the best thing to do is to recognise that this is the marvel cinematic universe, not the Avengers cinematic universe. With all the properties they just got back, I wouldn't expect an avengers level movie for a good long while, if at all.

Yeah similar to phase 1.
Reckon phase 2 will see more links or we will see the bits from phase 1 coming together and the little things here and there meaning more

They wasted two of the best story arcs of the modern Thor comics on the creation of a forced imitation of the previously successful film. They could have used the source material to add a bit of depth and finally give the character the decent "serious" films he deserves (but never got), but... why bother if it brings the cash in, right? No wonder they ended up with a pile of hot garbage.

 

[Amarsdd]

Listening to this, no wonder why this movie turned out this way

Gorr's dead child coming back ends up having more gravitas in a comic book than in the comic book movie, that's for sure.

And the three Thors would've been very interesting - like a Logan lite.

 

[RedDevil@84]

So by the reviews, it seems that this will come for free on Disney+ in a month.

Such a good villain wasted, was really excited for this when he was cast. A brilliant story arc in the comics, wasted for a few chuckles

Christ, he's getting more irritating with each new movie.

Minimum ten years i think, for the next avengers movie.

Saw this over the weekend and would like to throw my weight behind the comments that have described it as poor.

There's no meat on the bones, it's just introduce the bad guy and good guy, an hour and a half of nothing then the big final fight.

It's nothing we haven't seen before and I thought very lazy film making if I'm honest.

As has been pointed out by other posters, the fantastic soundtrack keeps you interested but generally it's not memorable in the slightest.

 

[Suv666]

Shit movie worse than all the other Marvel crap and that's saying something.

I dislike Marvel but I see the appeal. This was pure shit though.

 

[SilentWitness]

Christ, he's getting more irritating with each new movie.

Not surprising that a 45 year old eccentric who is getting attention from Rita Ora and Tessa Thompson is getting a little bit annoying.

 

[Dirty Schwein]

I loved Ragnarok, one of my favourite MCU movies. But this seems shit from the trailer. I'll wait until it's released on D+
