THB #180: Thor: Love & Thunder (spoiler-free)

It’s a classic example of not being able to see the Thorest for the trees.

Actually, the photo here is pretty symbolic of the film. Mjölnir isn’t going to get to Thor’s hand here. He’s lost control of it. And as you can see, Mjölnir is still broken, but it is holding itself together. Kinda like the movie.

I love Taika Waititi’s work. I was a huge fan of Thor: Ragnarok. Great cast. Couldn’t admire Christian Bale as an actor any more than I do.

But Thor: Love and Thunder is a Mad Magazine version of a Thor movie. Lots of funny ideas from lots of talented artists. We get Thor gags - and even moments of high drama - coming from every direction. But you can’t have an attention span of more than 5 minutes and still enjoy this as a coherent movie. But you can still enjoy the ride, smiling and laughing at the landmarks as you drive by it all at 20 miles over the speed limit.
