Thor: Love and Thunder Review: A Madcap Rush That Undermines Everyone
Written and directed by Waititi, Thor: Love and Thunder follows the eponymous Norse god (Chris Hemsworth) in search of inner peace, following his retirement in the aftermath of Avengers: Endgame. The self-help journey is soon interrupted by Gor the God Butcher – played by Christian Bale – a galactic assassin seeking the gods’ extinction. To counter the threat, he enlists the help of King Valkyrie, Korg, and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster/Mighty Thor, who now produces Mjolnir, a magical hammer suitable for “worthy” people. Together, they embark on a space journey to stop the bleach-skinned Gore and uncover the mystery behind his vengeance.
Thor: Love and Thunder features Natalie Portman as Foster, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, Jamie Alexander as Syf, Taika Waititi as Korg and Russell Crowe as Zeus, his first appearance in an MCU film. Despite scathing reviews – and criticizing the CGI – Thor: Love and Thunder has collected an impressive $737.1 million (approximately Rs 5,883 crore) globally. This makes it the sixth-highest-grossing film of 2022, with Top Gun: Maverick nearly double the overall gross.
Thor: Love & Thunder is available September 8 on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar, wherever available. In India, the Marvel movie will be available in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.
