Thor: Love and Thunder arrives on July 8 - here's our spoiler-free review
that isn't afraid to poke fun at itself and one that largely strikes a pleasing balance between its multiple parts. However, its disjointed narrative and bafflingly underused villain prevent it from being the top-tier film it could've been – inescapable flaws that are difficult to look past.Thor and Jane Foster are reunited for the first time since 2013's Thor: The Dark World.
Thor's never-ending quest for a newfound sense of identity, though, is put on hold when a new intergalactic threat emerges in Gorr the God Butcher . A powerful foe who seeks retribution against the universe's gods, Gorr's vengeful quest inevitably puts him on a collision course with the god of thunder.
That said, as with Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, Thor 4 feels like it breezes through important story beats too quickly to get to the heart of the action. Foster's wielding of Mjolnir, and the subsequent introduction of her superhuman alter-ego – aka the Mighty Thor – requires more space to lean into as well. Comic fans will already know how and why Foster becomes the Mighty Thor. And, while this story aspect is almost copied beat-for-beat in Love and Thunder, there isn't enough time devoted to this subplot to make it as heartwrenching as it should be.
