Date:

First reactions poured in for Taika Waititieagerly awaited”Thor: Love and Thunderwhich premiered on June 23 in Hollywood. Expectations to enter the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe are high given Waititi’s latest comic book outing, “Thor: Ragnarok,” widely considered one of the best Marvel films.

According to journalists and critics on social media, those expectations have come true. Film critic Simon Thompson wrote, “#ThorLoveAndThunder is a blast of liveliness and vibrancy. Thor Hemsworth remains a jewel in Marvel’s crown. Bale’s Gorr is a murderous con man who mixes camp and fearsome. Portman Foster and Valkyrie Thompson are the perfect pairing. Zeus Crowe is *the kiss of the chef.*”

Insider Kirsten Acuna approved Christian Bale’s performance and specifically praised Gore’s performance, writing that he is “a formidable threat” and “one of the most fearsome Marvel villains we’ve ever seen on screen.”

Critic Courtney Howard described Taika Waititi’s direction, saying it offers a “disrespectful subversive spectacle” with “a great story, risk, and character building.”

Some were more critical of the film, such as the great fellow Bible writer Eric Italiano, who generally enjoyed Love and Thunder but said the plot “felt flat and loose”.

Following the events of “Avengers: Endgame,” the latest sequel to “Thor” finds superhero Chris Hemsworth teaming up with Korg (voiced by Waititi), Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) and Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) to stop Gore the Good Butcher (Bill) from eliminating Gore the Good Butcher (Bill) over all the gods. Portman’s return to the MCU caused quite a stir on “Thor: Love and Thunder” ahead of its release. Portman sits down “Ragnarok” and appears in the new movie as Mighty Thor, which also finds her wielding the mysterious hammer of Mjolnir.

“In ‘Black Swan’, I was asked to get the smallest size possible,” Portman recently Tell diverse for the cover story. “Here, I was asked to get as big as possible. This is an amazing challenge – and also a state of mind as a woman.”

Waititi added about bringing Portman back as a superhero: “I’ve seen her play the scientist in ‘Thor’ 1 and 2, and it just seemed pointless to do that again.'” That character just seems like a love interest. She’s the lady of the earth who’s all about being mortal and not really important all the time.”

“Thor: Love and Thunder” premieres in theaters nationwide on July 8. Check out more first-hand reactions in the posts below.
