Movie Thor 4: Love and Thunder (2022)

Not made for the Chinese market. None of the MCU Phase 4 films have been released in theaters in China. The Chinese government has refused to let any MCU films since Endgame, back in 2019, to be shown.
Oh. Way back in ol’2019. Boy, you really contradicted my thesis.
 
It’s a totally serviceable summer movie. Turn off your brain and have fun. It’s not in the top 80% of MCU films though, and I wouldn’t see myself voluntarily watching it again.

And yes, the check the box gay agenda pandering is off putting because it’s ham fisted and unnecessary (and contradicts Waititi’s own prior film).
 
Oh. Way back in ol’2019. Boy, you really contradicted my thesis.

Black Widow, Shang-Chi, Eternals, Spider-Man 3, Doctor Strange 2, Thor 4, plus likely all upcoming MCU films, all banned from Chinese theaters.

Pretty sure they're not making these films for this Chinese market that they can't enter.
 
Ugh. I was totally looking forward to seeing this. I hope this review tempered my expectations enough so that I’m pleasantly surprised when it’s all said & done. :sigh:
The first 2 acts are horrible. Almost to the point of walking out.

But the final act was supurb. The comedy fit the story, good action, character arcs finished successfully and the baddie was dealt with appropriately.

But boy-o-boy, getting there is a chore.

Just riddle me this, Batman... do I get copious amounts of Thor screen time? :eyebrows:

Not only that. You get some Thor-minus-clothes time.

Also... 6.5/10, wood bang again.
Still attractive, sure. But given that she was arguably the hottest thing on the planet for a while there, she has not aged well.

Jennifer Anniston and Goldie Hahn are probably the best examples of women who held on to their absolute hawtness well into “old age”.

Astute observation. I concur.

I would still bang Susanna Hoffs until she walked like an Egyptian :noidea:

Jennifer Anniston has had a crap ton of work. She is starting to look plastic in the face.

Don’t disagree. But she is 53 And still VERY doable. IIRC, Hawn was hot into her mid-50s or so as well.

At some point, it just goes away. No stopping that. No matter who you are.
