Thor: Love and Thunder

I don't understand the hate the hate this movie gets. It's feels like the first time Marvel is trying new ideas, instead of going with a giant beam of light shooting to the sky. They are taking the superheroes out of the restrictions of action/adventure and letting them live inside other genres. Love and Thunder is an amazing romantic comedy. Taika's sense of humor is all over the movie, and it let's the cast shine. In the same way that Multiuniverse of Madness is one of the most amazing Mother's Day movie ever, and how WandaVision played with the structure of sitcoms. If you wanted to watch the same movie all over again, instead of asking Disney to make copy and paste movies just rewatch your favorite one. Sure, this movie is not perfect, but at least is approaching superheroes with a different perspective.

As someone that hasn’t really enjoyed the Thor movies, this was a bloody good time. Hilarious, great soundtrack, great villain. It’s a great standalone film in the MCU that is extremely different from most others that Marvel has put out in recent memory. It most closely resembled the feeling I got from the first Guardians of the Galaxy (albeit this is funnier but a lesser plot). Not to mention Christian Bale absolutely steals the show. Might be the best MCU villain we’ve ever had. What was extra compelling with his character was how he was such a stark contrast to the color and humor of everything else. Every time he appeared on the screen the whole narrative did a full 180 which essentially balanced out the humor elsewhere. I had a wonderful time and I can’t wait to watch again! Rating: 4.5/5 - 9/10 - Highly Recommend
