It Is Hilarious and Emits Positive Vibes
The movie is being called hilarious and the funniest Marvel film yet. That aside, its colorful and positive approach is also being praised.
#ThorLoveAndThunder is electric! A wacky, high energy delight with a cast full of aces crushing one scene after the next. LOADS of laughs (my face legit hurts), menace of Christian Bale’s Gorr is chilling, but most of all loved that it’s a film brimming with good vibes & heart. pic.twitter.com/CjVHkxAprC

There was a lot that worked with #ThorLoveAndThunder Visually it looked great, Jane and Thor storyline is the best it’s been, Bale shines but unfortunately I thought the comedy overpowered the film. If you go in expecting a big comedy Iyou’ll enjoy. I was expecting a little more.

Thor: Love and Thunder Is The Best Marvel Film!
#ThorLoveAndThunder is absolutely AMAZING. It blows every other Marvel movie out of the water, and doubles down on the Ragnarok charm. A classic @TaikaWaititi joint, so many laughs and tears, with a moving narrative and beautiful visuals. And those post credits? OH MY GOD. pic.twitter.com/41iuRXPf0O

#ThorLoveAndThunder might be my favorite Marvel movie and it also might be their very best. A sublime mixture of extreme silliness, dreamy surrealism and genuine emotion, with some of the most visually inventive set pieces in the MCU. Full of delightful surprises. Just great.⚡️ pic.twitter.com/7Dvku7F9yF

Taika Watiti Nails Thor Again!
Thor and Thor: The Dark World opened to mediocre reviews and did not receive much love from the fans either. That drastically changed when Taika Watiti stepped in with Thor: Ragnarok. It was everything fans or critics ever wanted to see from a superhero film and their favorite Demi-God and is often considered one of the best MCU films till date. Well, the trend continues and it seems like Watiti has nailed the character of Thor once again!
holy shit. #ThorLoveandThunder is the perfect blend of taika at his best with comedy and a punch to the gut all in one. i left this movie emotionally satisfied while also sobbing and just perfection. we stan a dad rock soundtrack. in the words of my new favorite characters: AHH pic.twitter.com/MytduVq89h

#ThorLoveandThunder is fucking great. I think instantly one of my favorite Marvel movies – probably cause it’s easily the funniest, yet still had me choked up by the end. I hope Taika Waititi never stops making Thor movies.

Thor: Love and Thunder Is Even Better than Thor: Ragnarok!
As mentioned above, Thor: Ragnarok set the bar for superhero genre pretty high and Marvel itself has failed to reach that height ever since 2017 barring Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, and Spider-Man: No Way Home. So, beating Thor: Ragnarok is pretty big deal and it seems like Thor: Love and Thunder achieved that.
THOR: LOVE & THUNDER is a TOTAL BLAST! Even BETTER than “RAGNAROK,” and one of the BEST MCU MOVIES! #ChrisHemsworth is a friggin’ ROCK STAR & #NataliePortman is a TOTAL BADASS! Director #TaikaWaititi has done it again! #ThorLoveAndThunder IS AWESOME! pic.twitter.com/JTEl6xB2xt

#ThorLoveAndThunder is predictably hilarious yet unexpectedly personal and heartfelt. Christian Bale and Natalie Portman's performances truly shine while Waititi delivers an emotional story. I think this may be my favorite Thor movie. pic.twitter.com/i7BpmQHvQ1

Valkyrie, Jane Foster Thor Are The Best
Tessa Thompson’s King Valkyrie and Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster Thor have received showers of positive words and are being called the best parts of the movie.
The best parts of #ThorLoveAndThunder are Tessa Thompson as King Valkyrie, Natalie Portman as Jane Foster/Mighty Thor and Christian Bale as Gorr.
Thompson and Portman have a buddy cop-esque dynamic I loved, and Bale's Gorr is definitely one of the better villains in the MCU. pic.twitter.com/92SVUj54XX

This isn't just Thor or Jane's story. This is Valkyrie's story as well in #ThorLoveAndThunder. And Tessa Thompson's King Valkyrie being her most authentic self is something viewers will appreciate. Deeply.❤️ pic.twitter.com/x47EGBOVaW

#ThorLoveAndThunder has highs and lows but doesn't scale back on the action. It has great fight scenes and chemistry between the actors has never been better.
Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie and Natalie Portman's return as Jane Foster are the standouts. ⚡️ pic.twitter.com/g3pNc5mbdp

Christian Bale As Gorr is Outstanding
A superhero film is only as good as its villain and it Thor: Love and Thunder nailed that department as well. While Thor: Ragnarok’s Hela and Surtur themselves were some of the best MCU antagonists to date, Christian Bale’s Gorr is being called terrifying, psychotic and a top tier supervillain.
Christian Bale was hugely anticipated as Gorr, and he delivered. One of the best villains in the MCU. #ThorLoveAndThunder pic.twitter.com/rlL4nvf4jt

#ThorLoveAndThunder surpasses all expectations balancing absolutely bombastic insanity with moving character driven stories. Christian Bale is top tier and Natalie Portman is truly outstanding. Waititi may have just delivered the MCU’s best movie of Phase 4 #ThorLoveAndThunder pic.twitter.com/HDePEKKS8P
