Thor: Love & Thunder
It’s love & death as well as thunder & lightning when Thor (Chris Hemsworth) meets Mighty Thor (Natalie Portman) as they battle Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale). Tessa Thompson as King Valkyrie lends a helping hand. The Asgardian Not Ready For Prime Players are back with a new cast member. Director/writer Taika Waititi is also back as Korg so expect to hear & see Waititi’s sense of humor percolate throughout this space Viking action adventure. From baby Thor to fat bod Thor to god bod Thor, then see Thor’s naked butt as maidens swoon. The Guardians of the Galaxy make a brief appearance as Thor re-examines his purpose & who he is, when he runs into his two past loves. A hammer, an axe, & a lightning bolt join up to battle the sword. Russell Crowe makes a flashy appearance as Zeus. See how PhD Jane Foster stricken with stage 4 cancer is transformed. Stormbreaker is the key as Thor & Gorr enlist their armies to battle. Portman & Bale are impressive. It’s another spectacular fun thrill ride from Marvel. Look for a mid credit clip hinting to another possible spinoff. The end of credit clip features two warriors meeting, followed by a promise that Thor will return.
Alien gives it 3½ “Necrosword” stars out of 4.
