Thor: Not Love and Terrible Jokes

Wink-nudge humour feels smug throughout and mostly misses the mark. Natalie Portman absolutely shafted. Korg becomes irritating beyond belief. Cringeworthy more than anything else.

Bale’s death gives us a glimpse of the movie this could’ve been if we’d gone more than half an inch below the surface of anything. Crowe’s drunken Greek uncle was good fun, can’t wait to see that joke flogged to death in the next film.

Ragnarok was a good film, but Love and Thunder this just ended up looking desperate to be funny.
