Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)

Thor: Love and Thunder was yet another sequel added to the amazing collection of Thor films. In my opinion, Thor Ragnarok was simply one of the best Marvel films to date because not only did it accomplish a meaningful story line but across Thor’s journey it was humorous in such a brilliant way. So my expectations were high coming in and having seen the trailer I was pretty enthusiastic. Coming out of the film I felt very underwhelmed, despite there being some good points I had a lot of criticism.

First of all I’ll address the positives; as a huge marvel fan I enjoyed seeing the small collab with the Guardians Of The Galaxy crew, it had a good amount of humour, a new villain was introduced and I thought his concept was pretty cool and intriguing. I do have to shout out the marvel intro because the normal music was replaced with metal rock and that was pretty cool. All those reasons made the movie at least watchable, expect in this case for me the bad outweighs the good.

First of all, Jane’s plot line; I can’t say much, as to not give it away, but only that she turned into “She Thor” for a specific reason. This could have been an amazing and very poignant plot line except that the constant humour took away the emotion from the scenes with her. I feel it was trying too hard to be Ragnarok and so lost that element of originality. And then we see this terrifying villain who had such an amazing concept but just completely contrasts the atmosphere of the movie, in my opinion if you’re trying to produce a comedic action movie you need a villain you can easily bring down to your level, not one that would literally give children nightmares. And generally it didn’t add anything to the franchise apart from playing catch up in his story line.

Despite this it was partially sweet and although too much so it was funny, so I would recommend it.
