Following the worldwide success of Benedict Cumberbatch-Elizabeth Olsen’sDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, MCU fans were eagerly anticipating Chris Hemsworth’sThor: Love and Thunder, but the Marvel film, which opened in theatres this July, fell short of expectations.

Taika Waititi isn’t a bad director by any means. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. He has the creativity to make multigenerational films that may bring you to tears while strongly criticizing social concerns that no other director would dare to use as a satirical subject.
However, when the quirky genius is given free rein over an established property with a tendency to stray from its source, combined with no cost constraints, the combination is disastrous to all parties involved.
Thor: Love and Thunder‘s quality is already obvious when the heavenly cast of Thor, Zeus, Valkyrie, and Jane Foster all come together and combine with the unearthly beauty ofChristian Bale‘s performance, and it’s still not enough to save a $250 million film.
