I guess Thor is now Marvel Universe comic relief. The Screaming Goats, the face-off between inanimate objects and Zeus is all funny, but why does the main villain disappear for so long? Regardless, it's popcorn entertainment and delivers the goods. Aiyee!

"Love and Thunder" has a goofy streak a mile wide, as if Waititi is letting us know he's fully aware of the ridiculousness of a bunch of muscle-y actors running around in Halloween costumes.

There was no way Taika Waititi was going to meet sky-high expectations he set with 2017's 'Thor: Ragnarok'. And he does fall way, way short with 'Thor: Love and Thunder'. But the film is not just disappointing, it is also a complete mess.
