What a hilariously strange and exuberant film. I loved it! Following in the footsteps of the huge success Thor: Ragnarok, this new episode in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a delight. Equal parts superhero, comedy, and thriller/horror, Thor: Love and Thunder is a true escape with something for everyone. Some action sequences felt refreshingly new and very comic book-esque. The humor is perfect. Of course, it could have used much more depth, but I've come to expect that with Marvel. Christian Bale as the God Butcher is magnificently creepy. I would place this in my top 10 Marvel films, for sure. It's definitely not as good as some of the other films (Ragnarok, etc.), but it was so much fun.
