Thor: Love and Thunder Official Trailer | Thor: Love and Thunder | Movie Trailer. Myanmar Channel. 5:36. Welcome to the world of Asgard, where everyone's got 99 problems. Thor is busy drowning his post-breakup blues he left Natalie Portman behind on Earth by saving the people of the Nine Realms from evil pillaging, Loki is a prisoner but still sneering about something, and father/king Odin played by Anthony Hopkins is throwing royal hissy fits every twenty minutes. Something's gotta give, and it does - millennia after first threatening to do so. A still from Thor 2. Agencies In Thor 2 which is the eighth installation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the dark elves of Svartalfheim were the original evil beings who were vanquished by Thor's granddad. Related Articles They possessed the ultimate evil, the aether pronounced eether, a dark red cloud of smoke it doesn't look any more threatening than it sounds. Thor's granddad, in his infinite wisdom, doesn't even bother trying to destroy this ultimate evil smoke, and instead decides to bury it, because as we all know, when dark evil things are buried, no one ever finds them. Flash forward to present time enter Natalie Portman. Portman plays a skittish scientist who is on the verge of discovering the celestial event of 'The Convergence', when the Nine Realms all line up, and time, gravity and space and all that important stuff goes out of wack. Portman, accompanied by her intern Kat Dennings and her intern's intern enters an old house in London looking for proof of this phenomenon. But before she knows what's happening, Portman is sucked into a portal and her blood stream is infected with the aether. Guess 'burying stuff' isn't the security measure everyone seems to think it is. And now, Malekith, the leader of the dark elves of Svartalfheim, is awake after his prolonged hibernation and looking for his aether. Enter Thor to smash his hammer, save his woman and defeat the cloud of smoke. Played by Chris Hemsworth, Thor is a strapping young man with a gravelly voice, stringy blonde hair, blue eyes and angst. About fifteen minutes into the movie, Thor is shirtless as superheroes are wont to be from time to time and I fleetingly understood why a friend had told me that 'Thor 2 is the girl's superhero movie'. Hemsworth is a good looking guy, and though I find the term 'girl's superhero movie' slightly sexist, if there were to be a girl's superhero movie, a shirtless Hemsworth would be in it. But the most interesting character, of course, remains Loki, who really deserves his own movie. Played by Tom Hiddleston, Loki is a wiry bundle of evil and angst. With his slicked-back hair and zingers Loki has the only worthwhile one-liners in the movie, Loki is too much fun to keep locked away as a prisoner. Thor enlists him into helping defeat Malekith, and the brothers' trust issues are on full display for the rest of the movie. Thor isn't the best movie in the franchise, but it isn't the worst either. It lacks the light touch of the first Iron Man, but Hemsworth, as the forthright manly man, has a good screen presence even with his armour on and has a fantastic voice. But Hiddleston's Loki, all malevolence and sibling rivalry, is by far the brightest presence on the screen. The special effects in Thor 2 are like something The Hulk might dream up - smash, bang, crash, cars falling, hammers hammering - there is enough action to keep viewers' mouths slightly open for an hour and 52 minutes. I personally loved how Thor's hammer frantically finds its way back to him even if they're in different realities. Another good hammer point/fish-out-of-water joke Thor enters a London flat and seeing a coat rack, hangs his hammer on a peg. Audiences might find themselves drifting off into the aether as well at times during some of the battle scenes I spent ten minutes debating cheese versus regular popcorn during a key sequence, but it's an enjoyable watch all the same - just the sight of a 62-year-old Stellan Skarsgård running naked around Stonehenge as a deranged scientist is worth the ticket price. Bacajuga: Misteri Anak Perempuan Gorr The God Butcher. Dari premis diatas, sejenak mungkin Anda melihat bahwa film Thor Love and Thunder ini akan berjalan seru, akan tetapi Penulis katakan sayang tidak demikian adanya. Ada beberapa unsur yang menyebabkan mengapa sequel ke-4 Thor ini Penulis nilai sangat buruk, diantaranya. Pertama, unsur cerita. A Netflix segue embalada na divulgação de Resgate 2 e trouxe um novo trailer para sua principal aposta cinematográfica de junho. E mais do que mostrar Chris Hemsworth explodindo tudo mais uma vez no papel de Tyler Rake, o streaming confirmou que a sequência contará com a participação mais do que especial de Idris da Netflix em junho de 20237 filmes de ação que serão lançados na Netflix em 2023O papel do ator no longa ainda não está muito claro. No teaser divulgado nesta segunda-feira 5, ele aparece apenas nos segundos finais em uma mistura de conversa e provocação com o protagonista, não deixando claro se ele será um aliado ou uma ameaça ao herói. Vale lembrar que essa não é a primeira vez que os dois atores trabalharam juntos. Eles dividiram a tela mais de uma vez no Universo Cinematográfico da Marvel MCU, na sigla em inglês, vivendo os asgardianos Thor e Heimdall. Desta vez, porém, os dois vão interagir em um contexto mais pé no chão — mas não menos relação ao teaser, as novas cenas divulgadas pela Netflix deixam claro o quanto Resgate 2 não vai economizar na ação. Com roteiro de Joe Russo e produção de seu irmão Anthony, o filme dirigido por Sam Hargrave não economiza na adrenalina e traz uma cena de perseguição intensa enquanto o personagem de Hemsworth tenta salvar uma família de uma perigosa organização acordo com a plataforma, o novo filme mostrará como Tyler Rake escapou da morte certa no filme anterior e por que ele segue lutando para se manter vivo. E toda essa crise existencial vai acontecer enquanto ele encara essa facção para tentar ajudar a esposa e o filho de um perigoso bandido a escapar das garras do vilão. E vai ser em meio a tudo isso que o personagem de Idris Elba marcará 2 chega à Netflix no próximo dia 16 de junho. Reviewof the film "Thor 2: The Kingdom of Darkness" Director Alan Taylor, his army of tame writers and the great and terrible Joss "I-When-Sometime-Gash-Firefly" Whedon took the path of less resistance - they just cut Thor from the Thor movie. "Thor The Dark World" Late in "Thor The Dark World," Chris Hemsworth's title character crash-lands on a British Underground platform. He's dazed but knows that he has to get back to fighting Malekith ex-Doctor Who Christopher Eccleston, a malevolent dark elf. Thor asks for directions back to Greenwich, and promptly boards the train. As the train lurches forward, a woman falls onto his broad chest. He smiles knowingly. This scene is one of several high points in "Thor The Dark World," a blocky fantasy-adventure whose plot is never as exciting as its characters. All three "Iron Man" films have this same basic problem, but story was never more important than personality in those earlier films. "Thor The Dark World"'s characters are often very charming, but they're only so much fun when they're stuck going through the motions. "Thor The Dark World" mostly concerns Malekith's "Transformers"-worthy schemes. Malekith was previously put in his place by Bor, Thor's grandfather, when he tried to turn matter back into anti-matter using Aether, an ancient, all-powerful energy source. Now, after Jane Foster Natalie Portman, Thor's super-smart human scientist not-quite-girlfriend, stumbles upon some Aether, Malekith returns. Leading an armada of black splinter-shaped spaceships, he sets out for Asgard, home of Thor and his fellow Norse Gods. But the Asgardians are still recovering from Thor's half-brother Loki's Tom Hiddleston recent failed coup. Now, Thor and Loki must team up to save Jane, Earth, Asgard, and the other eight realms of existence from complete may be a major threat to life and the universe as we know it, but he's just one of a handful of characters who are run through their paces in "Thor The Dark World." This sequel is consistently unfocused in that sense major characters get to flex their muscles for a scene or two, but only when they're absolutely needed. There are a couple of scenes where characters get to be both important and exciting, like when Kurse Adewale "Mr. Eko" Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Malekith's super-powered henchman, breaks into Asgard, and starts a prison riot. But there are just as many scenes where inherently exciting characters, like Thor, kill time connecting plot points. Watching Thor make quick work of an inconsequential enemy in an opening scene should be fun. But the scene has no flair to it, and feels like a perfunctory introduction to the character. The first scene in the film where Hemsworth gets to be really charming comes later, when he's squabbling with Hiddleston about operating a commandeered dark-elven space-ship. The squabbling itself isn't that funny, but the scene's pay-off is. Hemsworth's eyes light up as he gets the ship to fly, instantly reminding you why you came in the first place. Still, more often than not, "Thor The Dark World" is more busy than exciting. There are a couple sub-plots too many, like the one with frequently-naked super-scientist Erik Selvig Stellan Skarsgard. And too many characters that are introduced with a promising scene, like Rainbow Bridge guardian Heimdall Idris Elba, are forgotten during the film's climactic battle. The film's world also generally looks slapped together, especially the dark elves, who look like a cross between "Land of the Lost"'s Sleestaks and "Doctor Who"'s Cybermen. Visually, "Thor The Dark World" is a step back after "Thor," which at least looked unique in most other respects, "Thor The Dark World" is a step in the right direction. The scene where Thor enlists Loki's help is a perfect example of the film's slight but memorable improvements. The conversation they have is inconsequential, but watching a defeated Loki surrounded by over-turned furniture and a reddish-brown PG-13 blood-substitute on his prison cell's walls makes the scene worthwhile. Hemsworth and Hiddleston have such good chemistry that it sometimes looks like Thor and Loki will kiss before Thor and Jane will. There's just enough tension and humor in "Thor The Dark World" to make the film's otherwise listless proceedings worth watching, but only just.

Super Reviewer Apr 27, 2016 Thor was a really solid film, I had a good time watching it and it was quite a bit of fun. But there are some shortcomings with it. Positives 1. Characters; Chris Hemsworth was awesome as Thor! He had this charisma about his character, appropriate timed humor and I honestly felt for his character during serious moments. Tom Hiddleston was great as Loki and so also Anthony Hopkins was fantastic as Odin! Natalie Portman was fine I wouldn't say she stole the show but for what she had to be for this film she worked. Everyone else was fine as well. The humor was very good especially the scene where Thor breaks the coffee mug. The dramatic scenes are very investing as well. 2. Visuals; this movie looks nice especially the scenes at Asgard which are stunning. The special effects are good and the make up surprisingly was awesome on the Ice Giants. 3. What I admired was how different this film felt compared to all the other MCU films we've gotten. This film felt a lot like Lord of the Rings and it just felt different and unique compared to all the other Marvel titles. Negatives 1. The tone inconsistencies; the film sometimes doesn't know what it wants to be, the humor and serious aspects sometimes don't blend in well and it does make the overall tone feel wonky. 2. Wasn't a fan of the dutch angles, I felt they didn't add anything to the film stylistically and they were just unnecessary. They got kind of annoying at times and distracting. Its not a major flaw but it kind of bugged me. Overall Thor is a very solid entry to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is not a perfect movie of course but it was quite a bit of fun, it had good action, some well timed humor and a interesting story. This film is technically a comic book film but honestly I think regular audiences will also enjoy this film as well as fans of epics. Super Reviewer Mar 29, 2016 This is a movie that stands very differently with a lot of people, but to me, it is a very entertaining and well-directed film about a God needs to learn what it means to be a man. Kenneth Branagh is a visionary and every single shot in this movie is beautifully made and you get the feeling that he really put his heart and soul into this. The performances of Chris Hemsworth and Anthony Hopkins are great, but it is Tom Hiddleston's Loki that totally steals the movie. Super Reviewer Mar 26, 2016 Thor is a film that takes risks - and they pay off wonderfully. The movie grounds itself in reality while keeping a mythological and fantasy-esqe tone, and it never loses sight of the humanity within the characters, with elevates this above standard superhero fare. Super Reviewer Filmini termasuk film yang terlaris pada tahun 2013 dan mendapatkan keuntungan lebih dari $644.000.000. Jarak antara film Thor 2 ke 3 cukup lama, yaitu 4 tahun. Thor: Ragnarok (film ke-3 Thor) rilis pada November 2017. Anyway, film Thor 2 ini cukup menghibur menurut saya, karena walau judulnya The Dark World, film ini tidak terlalu 'gelap'.

Consistent with other MCU offerings. If you liked the other Thor movies, you will probably like this. Portman has some outstanding moments. Crowe was a delightful surprise. Super Reviewer Jul 11, 2022 Thor Love and Thunder reminds me a lot of Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2, admittedly a film I've come more around on since my initial viewing in 2017. When Ragnarok was released later that same year, it was an irreverent blast, a breath of fresh air for a franchise that didn't really know what to do with its hero, and under director Taika Waititi's sensibility, the character had new, witty life. A similar response occurred with the original Guardians of the Galaxy as the world fell in love with the offbeat characters and storytelling and style from writer/director James Gunn. Before 2014, we didn't know what to expect with a Guardians movie. When the sequel was released, we had a template of expectations, and the follow-up didn't feel quite so fresh, quite so lively, and falling back on repeating too many of the same moments or jokes because it's what was expected. It felt a bit burdened with the creative shackles of upholding these expectations. The same feeling of same-ness permeates Love and Thunder, and to be fair that's also because the success of Ragnarok raised our expectations for a Waititi MCU movie. Thor Chris Hemsworth is trying to find his way after the events of 2019's Endgame. He's gotten in shape, spent some time palling around with the Guardians of the Galaxy returning in 2023!, and reconnected with the love of his life, Jane Foster Natalie Portman. She's been chosen by Thor's old broken hammer to be its new wielder, granting her superhero status. Except in her human status, she's dying from stage four cancer. Just as Jane comes back into his life, Thor might have to come to terms with losing her all over again. This movie just doesn't feel like it has the same natural prankish energy of Ragnarok, though part of this again might be myself acclimating to Waititi as a filmmaker and storyteller. Prior to Ragnarok I had only known him for the delightful vampire mockumentary What We Do in the Shadows, and since Ragnarok Waititi has become his own industry, winning a screenwriting Oscar, lending his name and acting to hit TV shows, including a version of What We Do in the Shadows, and even Disney wants his mark on Star Wars. In short, the man is everywhere. In 2022, we now have a much better idea of what to expect from a typical Waititi project. Love and Thunder is recognizable to the man's omnipresent brand, and still a fun movie with some solid gags, but it also feels a bit sloppy and repetitive. I kept thinking about all the powerful dramatic potential in the different storylines that are barely explored because the driving plot is a universe-hopping caper to save a bunch of kidnapped children yes, the children represent something, the next generation, renewal, legacy, but let's carry on. Tackle the pathos of Jane Foster, who in her normal human state has her body betraying her. She feels weak and incapable of the greatness she feels burdened to still accomplish with her declining time. With the power of Thor, she becomes a superhero, and with super swole arms. However, this power trip also has its own ironic downside. Every time she powers up, the magic hammer is actually draining more of her life force, meaning she's actually speeding up her terminal illness. Here is a character given a dire situation and an escape and yet that escape only worsens the illness. There's such powerful drama there to explore as she comes to terms with how to spend her final moments, among them reconnecting with her super ex-boyfriend. This could have sufficed as the entire movie and told from her perspective. Then there's Gorr the God Butcher, gloriously played by Christian Bale like he's in a James Wan horror movie. Here is another example where the villain doesn't just have a sympathetic back-story but where they are correct in their aims, though maybe not in their methods think Killmonger arguing Wakanda should do more. Gorr is tired of the gods crushing the little guy with their general entitlement, indifference, and selfishness. These fancy deities aren't worthy of worship. The power structure needs upending. It's easy to get behind Gorr's plight and see connections to our own imbalanced world. This too could have sufficed as the entire movie and told from his perspective. Now, things could have gotten even more interesting and complicated for Jane, because she's not officially a god unless she's yielding Thor's hammer and joins those rarefied ranks. It would pose another question of whether wielding this power would be worth her remaining time, especially with a heat-seeking missile coming for her on a righteous quest of vengeance that is slowly eating him alive. Both are dying but can they fulfill their goals? If these storylines had been given careful development and the necessary time to breathe, Love and Thunder could have been one of the most interesting movies in the ever-expanding MCU cannon. Instead, it's galloping to work so hard to stick to the Waititi brand expectations, to reignite our feelings of Ragnarok, and so these promising elements ultimately get shortchanged by hit-or-miss comedy bits. I liked several of them even despite myself. The set piece where Thor and Jane and friends travel to Omnipotence City has such imaginative heights. Russell Crowe is having a grand time as a hilarious Greek caricature of Zeus that is more concerned about the upcoming company orgy and brushing feta crumbles from his beard. I loved the almost Lego Movie-esque zany sight gags of the cohabitation of gods from different religions Korg's god sits on an iron throne of scissors, its own visual joke. It's such a fascinating concept that I wish we could have spent even more time here. Let's see the Egyptian gods mingling with the Sumerian gods while pranking some weird alien deity. The set piece serves two narrative purposes gathering a powerful magic weapon, and learning the gods are sitting out the battle with Gorr for their own short-sighted self-preservation. It's mostly a pit stop. Again, there was more pathos that could have been explored here as people meet gods, but this is my cross to bear. The general banter is amusing and has more hits than misses even if the hit percentage is lower. I laughed every time the magic axe would silently pop onscreen in jealous judgement. I even enjoyed the screaming goats even though from their first moment they are the exact same joke. Regardless, whenever Thor and company would travel to a new place and I heard that familiar goat scream, it would make me giggle despite my reservations. I also had my qualms with the concept of Eternity, a magical place located at the center of the universe but destined to grant a wish to whomever gets there first. It's too transparent as a plot device and its very existence this far into the MCU creates too many nagging questions. In the history of the universe, no other creature successfully reached this wish-granting locale? And if this existed at least to Thor's understanding, then why didn't the characters think about this as an option to thwart Thanos and his universe-halving finger snap? I know the answer, because it wasn't written into a movie until now, but this is the drawback of throwing ultimate power plot devices without more careful context. Eternity could have been a secret just to the inner circle of the famous gods, unknown to all but a few, but even that strains some credulity. If Zeus is such a carousing hedonist of legendary status, I'm sure he would have either blabber-mouthed its existence or sought it ought for his own gain. I genuinely liked the set piece at Eternity, a small planet that sucks all color from existence, making the imagery even more striking like the inky panels of a comic. The same question happens when Thor shares his power late in the movie. Couldn't the Avengers have used this too? I fully acknowledge that my criticisms are butting against the movie Waititi wanted to tell. I'm pushing for its inherent dramatic potential while it wants to be a more comic and romantic adventure about the power of love. I think by the end it gets there, and the dramatic confrontations have some emotional weight to them, especially about the idea of what we leave behind for others after we're gone. Although, even this is mitigated by the general stakes-lowering reality that death never seems so permanent in the world of comics and monetarily useful IP. It's a joke how many times Loki has been brought back from the dead and Thor doesn't even know that his trickster brother has been brought back from the dead again again again. We've now established time travel and an emphasis on the multiverse of alternate universes, which means at a moment's notice, any meaningful death or sacrifice has the possibility of being undone. This is also the reality of a moneymaking machine that has dominated the movies and pop-culture landscape for 14 years. No death is ever going to be for real in this environment so why should I put so much emphasis on the dramatic potential of what losing a loved one, or your sense of self, can have? I can sit back and enjoy the lesser, but still enjoyable, Waititi quirk on display for two hours of silly. Hemsworth Spiderhead is so sharply skilled at comedy that I feign to remember his previous existence as a dramatic actor. He's still on the same sublime, charismatic yet blithely self-effacing vibe he was with Ragnarok. Portman Annihilation comes back after close to a decade for a clear reason to leave her mark on what had been an otherwise forgettable character and giving her a renewed sense of power and direction and agency. Bale Ford v. Ferrari, as mentioned, is fantastic. I appreciate that his character isn't physically huge and bulky. He looks quite the opposite, like he's wasting away, like somebody slathered an ashy coat of paint from living-skeleton Bale after The Machinist yes, also the obvious Voldermort comparison. He is relishing every teeth-stained syllable as a nightmare creature living from the shadows. The prologue with his character is heartbreaking and yet understated and truth be told, having young children in my household, it hit me more personally, and I turned to my fiancé and said, "I'm supposed to not like this guy?" I wish the opening credits were then a montage of Gorr seeking and slaying wicked gods. Bale is playing his role like he's definitely not in a Waititi movie about goofy screaming goats; he's playing Gorr like a tragic hero of myth. This is why I would have been happy had the whole movie been told from his perspective. The new characters from Ragnarok suffer the most and become sidelined as "Others Along on the Quest." For Korg, this is fine, but for Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie, I mourn her absence. Also, both characters are definitively queer now, though Korg might be more a question, making Love and Thunder the gayest movie in the MCU, and just after Pride Month, so take that for what you will, folks. As a fun matinee, Love and Thunder will amuse and brighten, even if its comedy highs don't quite hit as high this time under the burden of franchise expectations. Love and Thunder is a movie that will be best known for Portman and Bale, both of whom elevate the scattershot material with their dedication and professionalism. It might even be known for Crowe's hammy scene-stealing, or the super-powered cadre of cute kiddos, or even the screaming goats. It's a movie more of moments and ideas, too many underdeveloped or lacking the gravitas they deserve, especially concerning Jane and Gorr. I feel like a grump bemoaning that the big superhero movie should have more time spent on a woman contemplating her own existential demise as well as man's relationship and fealty to our gods. Still, it's Waititi doing his signature brand of quirk with $200 million of house money from Disney. Thor Love and Thunder is a lesson in diminished returns but when you have Ragnarok as your starting point, it's at least guaranteed to still be worth your two hours once and deliver some chuckles and smiles. Nate's Grade B- Jul 11, 2022 It is watchable and has enjoyable moments to be sure but lacks the narrative consistency of Waititi's last Thor movie as silly as Ragnarok was, it at least had clear character growth and a fresh new take and it often feels like they are grasping to find a reason for this fourth Thor entry to exist. Super Reviewer Jul 09, 2022 Being a huge fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I must say that the first two instalments of the Thor franchise haven't been anywhere near my favourites. When Taiki Waititi was brought in to direct Thor Ragnarok, he injected some much-needed life. Since then, Thor has been a much more enjoyable character to follow and I now look forward to seeing him every time. Hearing that Waititi would once again be back for the fourth film excited me a great deal, but I also knew it would be a very hard task to top the third film. Thor Ragnarok is one of my favourite Marvel films, and while there are more than a few moments in Thor Love and Thunder that harken back to what made Ragnarok great, it's not quite on the same level for me. Still, Thor Love and Thunder is a genuine blast at the movies and here's why I recommend checking it out. Picking up after the events of Avengers Endgame, while still being a sequel to the Thor films, the premise here is that Gorr Christian Bale who now wields a sword known as the "Necrosword", has a mission to murder every God in existence. After having killed many already, Thor Chris Hemsworth is next in line. With the addition of a very well-done story that brings back Jane Foster Natalie Portman, this film has a lot going for it. The villain storyline and Jane's storyline are both serious elements of the film, but otherwise, this is just a straight-up comedy, through and through. I liked the tonal shifts throughout the film because Taiki Waititi knows how to tread that line, even though a few moments tread a little too closely. If you were a fan of the silliness in Thor Ragnarok, you'd probably love watching this film, but I will say that Thor Love and Thunder dials it up to a hundred here. From giant screaming goats to a love triangle between his axe Stormbreaker and his "ex-hammer" Mjolnir, I was laughing throughout. This will absolutely be a deterrent for some viewers though. Marvel is known to have a lot of comedy sprinkled throughout their films, but this one probably takes the cake for the amount of humour. The humour landed for me about 90% of the time though, so I had an absolute blast. Christian Bale is a fantastic addition here and is completely committed to this role, even though I wish he had a little more screen time. Where his storyline goes by the end may also leave viewers dissatisfied, but I kind of love how it concluded and I can't wait to see where those last few story beats lead. On top of that, I will say that Natalie Portman brings her A-Game here. I wasn't a huge fan of her in the first two Thor films, but her reason for being in this film was easily the best aspect of the movie for me. Again, like Gorr, I just wish a little more time was dedicated to her storyline. This is a film that clocks in at under two hours, but I believe an added 20 minutes or so could've fleshed everything out just a little more. In the end, this is the most fun I've had with a Marvel film in a while. Taiki Waititi's kinetic energy is on full display here, more than I've ever seen before What We Do in the Shadows included and Chris Hemsworth commands the screen with his portrayal of Thor, as always. The jokes fly a mile a minute, but I enjoyed that about this film, even though I was worried it would ruin my enjoyment. I do feel that it suffers a little from having multiple storylines and not quite enough time to explore them all, but I was ultimately satisfied with how everything played out. For being such a big story, I will also say that the scale of this one felt a little smaller than the rest of the Thor films. It almost felt episodic at times. Overall, Thor Love and Thunder is absolutely a must-see if you enjoyed the silliness of Thor Ragnarok, but some may be turned off. I personally give it a big recommendation because I had a lot of fun. MovieInfo. In ancient times, the gods of Asgard fought and won a war against an evil race known as the Dark Elves. The survivors were neutralized, and their ultimate weapon -- the Aether -- was
“Thor Love and Thunder” is more or less a victory lap for all that director Taika Waititi achieved with his previous Marvel film, the often hilarious, rousing, and plainly refreshing “Thor Ragnarok.” And while it has too many familiar flourishes and jokes, this entertaining sequel is still a force for good, with enough visual ambition and heart in front of and behind the camera to stand on its own. We meet our space Viking hero and thunderous Norse god Thor Chris Hemsworth on a path of healing. Going “from dad bod to god bod” to quote Waititi’s voiceover recap, delivered by his still-charming rock-bodied softy character Korg, Thor has lost the gut he had in “Avengers Endgame,” and the people of Asgard have settled into a port town called New Asgard after their home realm was trashed in “Thor Ragnarok.” Their leader, the charismatic King Valkyrie Tessa Thompson, has helped them acclimate to life on Earth, which includes being a tourist attraction. With the assistance from the Guardians of the Galaxy in a brief appearance, Thor gets back into worlds-saving shape, and in a Guns N' Roses-accompanied moment, in the beginning, he unleashes stylized, high-flying slaughter a la many scenes in “Thor Ragnarok,” wielding his axe Stormbreaker. But he has no one to share the victory with, and for all of the hundreds of years Thor has lived, he has resigned to not finding true love. The film then re-introduces a more interesting hero in Jane Foster Natalie Portman, Thor's past human love interest from the previous films during his more serious days. Now, she wields the restored pieces of Thor’s hammer Mjolnir, turning into the Mighty Thor with helmet and cape, but all with a price. Every time she uses the power, it takes away from her human capacity, which is all the more devastating given that we learn she has Stage Four cancer. “Thor Love and Thunder” thoughtfully reinstates Jane into the action, while giving some more depth to her relationship with Thor. In both her human and her heroic state, Portman’s performance conveys why it's great to see Jane again. The adversary this time around is Gorr the God Butcher, a tortured character filled with vengeance who provides the shadows to the movie's immense moments of light. After the death of his daughter turns him into a non-believer, Gorr is chosen by a weapon called the Necrosword, and creates an army of shapeshifting black beasts to kill all gods, starting with the one who ignored his cries for help. Christian Bale is striking in the role, fluctuating between high and low voices, relishing the chance to brandish his sharp teeth. It’s the closest we’ll get to seeing him play Pennywise the Clown, with a dash of Voldemort, but tethered to the same humility Bale brings to his most human, humbled characters. He can be mighty fun to watch, even when “Thor Love and Thunder” undersells his god butchering for the sake of a more sentimental message, and to make him share scenes with frightened children. Co-written by Waititi and Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, “Thor Love and Thunder” just doesn’t truly flourish as it could. Part of its messiness kicks in with its big conflict when Gorr the God Butcher attacks New Asgard at night in a frantic impromptu fight scene that has Waititi's usually stable vision for Thor action losing control. The supposedly scary scene just happens, and it’s difficult to follow in the dark what’s going on, as shadow creatures wage battle on the Asgardians and kidnap their children. The sequence is so disjointed that a visual gag involving a collapsing burning building in the background—timed for when Thor meets cute again with Jane as a hammer-wielding, ass-kicking, Mighty Thor—just doesn’t work. In order to stop Gorr and save the stolen children, Jane, Thor, King Valkyrie, and Korg visit the god of lightning Zeus and the other Gods, who laze about in a golden forum and talk about the next orgy, unafraid of what Gorr is looking to do to them. Like a golden and white version of the Galactic Senate in “Star Wars,” with a grab-bag of goofy creatures one has furry feet and a face, that's it; another is a Korg relative it makes for one of the more eye-popping set pieces. But it’s also a moment in which the movie is building toward future “Thor” stories at the detriment of this one, including a shrugging cameo seen in the post-credits. It’s also a passage among many in which it's clear that Tessa Thompson’s character of King Valkyrie, though important with the goings-on of New Asgard, has oddly been pushed to the side despite her established importance and swagger in “Thor Ragnarok.” “Thor Love and Thunder” flirts with when a call-back story beat or joke is just playing the hits, the same way that there are a million Guns N' Roses nods and needle drops in this movie just because, and you’re expected to head-bang each time. All of its pop culture ad-libs, or punched-up superhero stuff about coming up with catchphrases—when those jokes feel safe instead of left-field, they fall particularly flat. “Thor Love and Thunder” is a blockbuster comedy sequel at its core, and its weaker material reminds you of that even when it’s still good for a sporadic laugh or two. Lacking the overall freshness that defined the previous movie, “Thor Love and Thunder” is better with its bolder, dramatic sequences that are like mini-movies about how love comes with the price of loss. Gorr is introduced in a harrowing piece of bubble gum Ingmar Bergman, cradling his dead child and renouncing his god before killing him, all before the Marvel Studios credit card kicks in with electric guitars. Later on, Waititi presents us the Jane and Thor romance—its coziness and later its isolation—like a spin-off of his own quirky indie “Eagle vs. Shark.” It's very funny in some moments, but with a brutal honesty always in frame, especially as the two then see if love is salvageable in the current dwindling timeline. Along with Jane’s striking cancer storyline, it's these heartfelt moments too that reveal the true motivators behind “Thor Love and Thunder,” even if everything is later treated in too quaint, or too eagerly crowd-pleasing a fashion to hit as hard as they clearly meant to. The biggest takeaway from “Thor Love and Thunder,” aside from how Waititi really should get that “Star Wars” trilogy he’s been teasing, involves his bold usage of color, visually and thematically. It’s not just the eye-popping hues, which here include soldiers for Zeus who spew golden blood or a bravura black-and-white fight sequence between Gorr and Thor on a tiny color-draining planet that uses select flashes of blue light with great effect. It’s that assured sense of tone that preaches how a movie can mix god-killing and kid-friendly crowd-pleasing moments with a gooey message about love. This sequel is not without its reservations, but Waititi continues to show just how unique these blockbusters can still be, provided their storytellers keep embracing some of their heaviest and funniest ideas.

Afun film overall. Poorly characterized villains and bouts of hokey dialogue work to hinder the nobler efforts. Doesn't come close to achieving its true potential. There were too many
