Thor: Love and Thunder - The scoop and digest

Taika Waititi returns to the director's chair for Thor 4.

Chris Hemsworth - Thor
Christian Bale - Gorr the God Butcher
Tessa Thompson - Valkyrie
Jaimie Alexander - Sif
Taika Waititi - Korg
Russell Crowe - Zeus
Natalie Portman - Jane Foster/Mighty Thor

Summary

After the death of his daughter Love, Gorr uses cursed god-killing weapon the Necrosword to slay Rapu and vows not to stop there.

In his quest for Eternity, our man kidnaps children from New Asgard, prompting Space Viking to embark on a rescue mission.

Post-credits

Heimdall welcomes Jane at the gates of Valhalla.

Eat my hammer

Without beating around the superhero bush - AWFUL.

Screenplay (co-written by Waititi and Jennifer Kaytin Robinson), is obsessed with catchphrases and embarrassing puns.

Parody didn't make me laugh, not once.

What's with Maximus's accent? One minute it's Russian, then Italian.

(Rolls very confused eyes).

If that wasn't bad enough, he prances down a set of steps like a fairy.

What the FUCK?

Complete with terrible CG, video game-esque action sequences boast every cliché imaginable.

I swear filmmakers played God of War.

Scraping the barrel, Bale's sympathetic villain is the only redeeming quality.

Yes he does have a look of Harry Potter's Lord Voldermort and Quan Chi of Mortal Kombat fame, but this extraordinary mortal noted redesign is virtually IDENTICAL to Ruvik from The Evil Within.

Remember guys, you read it here first.
