#ThorLoveAndThunder is a vivid and vibrant blast to deliver. Hemsworth’s Thor remains a jewel in Marvel’s crown. Bale’s Gorr is a killer boogeyman that blends campy and creepy. Portman’s Foster and Thompson’s Valkyrie are a top-tier pairing. Crowe’s Zeus is *chef’s kiss*.

Christian Bale is phenomenally menacing as #ThorLoveandThunder villain Gorr the God Butcher. One of the creepiest Marvel villains we’ve ever seen on screen. He gave me some Dark Knight Ledger Joker vibes at one point.

#ThorLoveAndThunder has an appetite for destruction and laughs. He is totally awesome! Taika Waititi offers a subversive and irreverent show. Great story, stakes and character building. Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman, superb. Russell Crowe and Christian Bale slide easily into the world.

#ThorLoveAndThunder is the funniest movie in the MCU. The jokes are excellent as are the cast that deliver them. Christian Bale is obviously also terrifying as #Gorr. BUT, the plot felt flat and without stakes. I’m not sure if this is a #Thor issue or an MCU without a big issue.

Another classic Thor adventure! #ThorLoveAndThunder is everything he wanted it to be. Big, colorful and bizarre Guns N’ Roses-fueled battles with a hopelessly romantic story about discovering love in unexpected places. Christian Bale and Russell Crowe are especially great. And Korg!

I saw #ThorLoveAndThunder . It can’t quite match the visual or comedic bombast of Ragnarok, but Taika Waititi makes up for it with an emotionally mature Marvel movie. It’s also a lot of fun (Natalie has jokes) and features one of the most impressive visual sequences in MCU history.

#ThorLoveAndThunder is much more episodic than I would have suspected. Offers great laughs. A very standard villain with Christian Bale. I want the buddy cop comedy with Natalie Portman and Tessa Thompson. Matt Damon must go to Broadway. Post credits are EPIC! Pure fun.
