Tweeting after a #MarvelStudios premiere is difficult because you want to take some time to think about what you just saw but everyone is looking for an instant review. For now I’ll just say I had a blast with #ThorLoveAndThunder and I hope @TaikaWaititi makes more MCU movies. pic.twitter.com/jFHlJVm4A2

#ThorLoveandThunder is fucking great. I think instantly one of my favorite Marvel movies - probably cause it’s easily the funniest, yet still had me choked up by the end. I hope Taika Waititi never stops making Thor movies.

(Also I have no doubt this will be Axl Rose’s favorite movie of all time because I can only assume he got points for how many GnR songs show up.)

I'm not really disappointed because the movie you see in the trailers is what you get here. Can't help but feel like Taika could have cut a lot of the humor to make more room for Portman and Bale.

Also, the 2nd half of the movie looks marginally better than the first.

There’s a big fun surprise at the end that will almost certainly be spoiled for you if you are extremely or even moderately online so do what you must.

Pretty sure that dress just turned Sean Hayes straight!

Headed to the theater. 2nd movie today after seeing Top Gun again this morning.

Hoping for this to finally pick Phase 4 up a bit

Let me know how it is!

Just let me know if being half way through falcon & winter soldier is enough to get what happens or if there are other shows (like Loki) that are required to see this….

Great movie. Didn't know who the girl was beforehand. I didn't read up much though. Ragnorak is still my favorite Thor movie though.
The credits scene was interesting.

That was great. I'd put it behind Ragnarok, but still so much fun. OG characters are just better than the new phase 4 ones.

Music was epically good. Maybe tried a smidgen too hard in parts to be funny, but overall really fun. Bale was a really good creepy villain but still you could feel for him.

. Also Phase 4 needs to figure out what it's going to do with all these end credit cameos. The OG phases typically led to the next film. Phase 4 is just dropping new cameos and never looking back

Nothing from the Disney+ series. It picks up with Thor after Endgame.

****ing great movie. 1st half was a little thin, but the latter part of this movie ****ing DELIVERS.

Is this the spoiler thread ?

Phase 4 post credit scenes are starting to feel like "On the next Arrested Development."

This is so true. Is the only one that has any sort of tie-in with the greater MCU from Shang-Chi?

My sister who is one of the biggest MCU fangirls out there told me it was kind of meh. She self-admittedly likes Thor the least out of the leading heroes in the MCU so maybe that plays a role.

This movie is a product of expectations created by Ragnarok, which I believe is one of the top three MCU movies. If this movie came after Thor 1 & 2, the buzz would be a lot better. The expectations for it were really unrealistic, especially given the knowledge that the GotG would be in it as well (on that note - it really was a bummer that the GotG were an afterthought and really didn't offer much, even knowing they wouldn't be in it that long).

I do think this movie falls short of Ragnarok, but is still way above Thor 1 & 2. Bale, Hemsworth and Crowe were phenomenal. Thompson's performance wasn't as good as Ragnarok, but I feel like she wasn't given the time to shine. Portman was hit and miss in a lot of her scenes, and really was more comfortable with the previous direction of Thor films - as she struggled to keep up with Hemsworth in some of the slapstick scenes. I thought their story was a good one though. I am done with Korg though and felt his schtick really didn't add too much to the story and was where I saw a lot of the attempted humor dropping off.

This is still a movie you want to see in the theater, and is in the upper half to third of Marvel movies as a whole.

The movie was decent, not great. It's probably in the bottom 1/3 of the MCU. Lots of chuckles in my theater but very few laugh out loud moments. It was trying to be a comedy like Ragnorok, but many of the jokes fell flat.

Got our tickets for Sunday! This will be the first marvel movie we're seeing in theaters so the wife and kids are excited

There is a separate thread for more in-depth discussion that includes spoilers. Just FYI. Please don't post spoilers on this thread.

No one has even come close to posting spoilers here. These are all very general reactions, like we've always done in the non-spoiler threads.

Not my favorite but overall a good summer movie. Too much parental cringe, so I won't be going back with the family for this one.

$69.5 million on Friday, 29th biggest opening day of all time, third-biggest opening day since COVID, behind No Way home and Multiverse of Madness.

Yeah. It wasn't very good. I don't think a single person laughed in my theater.

This was a good movie. Some laughs and good action. I did like Bale but felt there could have been more to explain how he went from broken worshipper to god killer. My expectation for what the explanation would be for Jane Foster being Thor were not at all right; I actually liked how that happened. Not enough Guardians. Find it funny that in the late 80s, I didn't care for Guns & Roses but that now I actually liked the music as used in this movie.

Exactly my feelings. I'm afraid he's stretched too thin. He currently has two shows on the air (Reservation Dogs and Our Flag Means Death), has ANOTHER movie coming out in a few months that originally starred Armie Hammer, which he had to go back and reshoot with Michael Fassbender, is also developing a new Star Wars movie, and then has made multiple acting appearances in various projects as well. It's just too much, and it feels like this movie was basically squeezed in between it all.

Armie Hammer was in a supporting role and Will Arnett is replacing him in that movie, so the reshoots weren't a huge deal from what I've read.

Haven't seen Love and Thunder yet, but I'm not totally surprised its hit or miss based on Taika's comments. He basically was trying to be as absurd as possible.

Ah, that's right. Still, it was another movie he was making at the same time as Thor.
