Acts

From its release in cinemas to its following streaming on Disney Plus, Thor love and thunder has caused a lot of controversy. I have heard a lot of bad press mainly about the direction and its indulgences. As I watch the movie, I see those. But I also realise that this is not a bad movie. It is entertaining and it has the elements that make you laugh, cry and wonder. Yes, its edition and the choice of footage can be faulted. It is always easier to deconstruct what has been so painstakingly and with passion and fun, built. As a result, this movie review will read more like Thor Love and Thunder, the Fussy Tongue cut. As such, it will be a longer review, which forces me to cut it into multiple parts, acts if you want. Each of these acts showcases that the film is a continuous showcase of transformations:

Act 1 – Meeting Gorr, the God Butcher which is about the parallel transformations of Gorr and their inner contradictions

Act 2 – Meeting Thor, Guardian Of The Galaxy battling his demons and finding love and redemption in a next generation

Act 3 – Meeting Mighty Thor, Dr Jane Foster whose passion for understanding and saving the world consumes her via cancer and hammer

Act 4 – Meeting the next generation: Thor Love and Thunder

Conclusion: In this part, we are looking overall at the feelings with which we were left after watching the movie. Considering, there are things that made us want to watch it again, we are also looking at what a second watch felt like.
