‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ movie review: Taika Waititi, Chris Hemsworth embark on another great journey!

Emotion someEven if it’s a catastrophic heartbreak or experiencing nightmares, it’s better to feel numb than not. A divine-man speaks to a living God hoping that it adds some depth to the life of the latter. Meanwhile, a treacherous disciple mourns the loss of his daughter, and a cancer patient is clinging to a magical power she knows is only killing her faster. yes we are still talking Thor: Love and Thunder, which is a tragedy at the heart of it all. However, this is a Taika Waititi movie, which means a giant screaming goat can pop up at random intervals to split you up.

Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, the fan-favorite goofball god, is back. after the events of avengers: endgame, he’s serving as a divine peace-loving savior with the Guardians of the Galaxy, and his rodeo ends with the arrival of a new threat: Gore, the God Butcher (Christian Bale), guarding an alien. Is. The god-killing sword is called Necrosword, who goes on a god-killing spree to avenge his daughter’s death. Sensing Gore’s threat, Thor flees with the Guardians and returns to New Asgard (which now looks like a mythical fishing village), only to find Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), her long-lost Love, the broken hammer of what is now Mjolnir and began to call himself ‘Mighty Thor’. Through his battle with Gore and his love again for this new Thor, our hero finds a whole new meaning in life.

Avid MCU viewers know how Waititi reimagined a sad, gloomy version of Thor into the goofy character we now know him as. In his second outing with the character, he goes to the audacious extent of redefining even the first two Thor films through dark humor. He does so through the cracker of a montage in which Korg (voiced by Waititi himself) recounts Thor’s life with ridiculous, wacky detail, while Ana’s ‘ Only time‘ plays in the background. Similarly, it uses a short flashback montage, spanning less than two minutes, to answer the mystery of what happened to Jane after the events of Watti. Thor: The Dark World, Again, here too, the gloom of the situation is subdued with a humorous demeanor and it works wonders. In fact, Watty goes so meta that at one point, he even takes it to Korg to ridicule the way the story has progressed.

Yes, such a cynical approach is evident when it comes to Waititi. However, in love and need, Waititi elevates it to such an extent that he uses every available character in Thor’s world to pull out one lie after another at unexpected moments. Even as Stormbreaker, Thor’s axe, gains a full character arc, Thor has to quell his insecurities with Mjolnir’s presence.

Thor has to be Thor and hence the heroic moments of the film are well written and set. For one example, the film brings together Thor and Zeus in a scene in which the Nordic God of Thunder introduces himself as the fan-boy of the Greek God of Lightning. The scene takes its time and gives us a dose of joy, however, the whole scene is a set-up for a moment that makes anyone go: What just happened? These moments are really kept like threads, but with so much going on in a film like this, it doesn’t matter much.

in kind RangnarokThis film also balances its emotional beats very well. Writers Jennifer Kaytin Robinson and Waititi weave moving subplots, especially for Gore and Jen. It’s really heartwarming to see how Thor calls back in the first film and says it’s Jane who made him deserve it. In moving scenes, Portman and Bell perform like a cakewalk. In fact, Bell almost stole the thunder from Hemsworth with his creepy portrayal of gore.

A Marvel movie now seems impossible without a surprise cameo, and love and need There are quite a few gifts for fans. Major credit to Marvel for constantly representing the different sexual spectrum on screen with every new project. The Marvel Cinematic Universe hasn’t been as lucky with its latest Phase 4 progression, and bankable projects like Thor and Spiderman may be all dipping into new experiments. Thor, in particular, has had one of the biggest comeback stories in film history, from being one of the less likable superheroes to becoming the Marvel superhero with most standalone movies. Thor: Love and Thunder Only adding more color to this arc, and we all hail Asgard.
