Thor: Love and Thunder Review

Ok, folks here we go. Better late than never,  am I right?  I had the pleasure to finally go see this new movie about 2 weeks after release in one of the best and most comfortable movie theaters in my area, Cinepolis (psst send gift cards). With recliner leather chairs and waiter service with beers and cocktails and overpriced food at the ready, I was ready to see the famous success of my 1980s love child Thor: Ragnarok.   Did I have fun, absolutely freakishly so? How could you not is that comfort, screen, sounds, friends, and family? Now was it the intellectually yet childish brilliance of Ragnarok?…errr nope. Sorry to disappoint, but it’s ok. Not everything has to better its predecessor.  It had the human man child of Thor and Starlord. It had Matt Damon making fun of himself, again! for it has strong and sexy and intelligent women, of course!  Did it have secret marvel hidden gems that my brother-in-law did not give 2 shits about, of course. And that’s why I liked it.  It had what I needed from an entertainment franchise on a Sat night where the world around me had to disappear and indulge in a fantasy world that had more plot holes than Swiss cheese.  Now, will it stand up to Spider-Man: No Way Home? Heck nooo.  Like any buffet, there are the steamed crab legs that everyone fights for, and the slightly not-the-best but enjoyable sugar donuts. It all makes a complete meal. And we get our after credit scenes. So yea take life less seriously , much like Taika took his making of the movie not too seriously. I had fun, and that’s all one can ask for in this melting, war obsessed, virus-hoarding planet we all live on. Until next mis muchachos y muchachas!
