I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. My family is devoted to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We've seen them all (in order multiple times). More recently we have felt a little let down. The Eternals, Shan Chi and Dr. Strange 2 just didn't pack a solid punch. Yes, they were good, but nothing like their predecessors. Thor Love and Thunder brought the Love back. It had all the essentials... twist of fate, humor, epic fight scene and a little heartache. As this movie is likely to be enjoyes by all ages, I have a feeling it'll really be of interest to the younger crowd (6 - 14) and those over 25. Christian Bale's performance was stellar. It speaks volumes when an actor is nearly unrecognizable in their performance. Bravo Bale. Hemsworth is the embodiment of Thor. Great movie and I cannot wait for the soundtrack to be released.
