Love And Thunder, Thor Review of the motion picture Thor: Love and Thunder: More humour, less thunder

Synopsis: Before defending the universe from Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale), fit-again Thor (Chris Hemsworth) finds himself drawn to Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) and torn between his present axe Stormbreaker and his former hammer Mjolnir. Two enormous screaming goats are also present to keep him company.


The most recent season of “Stranger Things” included more thunder than this romantic comedy, which begs the fundamental question of whether Gods may let you down as well. Are you constantly alone, and is love the sole means to salvation?

Being inside Taika Waititi’s head is interesting. Only he can guide you through Thor’s fatherly, divine, and melancholy voyage. Only he can pit the two Australian actors, a naked Hemsworth against Russell Crowe in a white miniskirt, and only he can make you laugh with his satirical portrayal of Thor. He deftly employs humour in his work as a filmmaker to speak to the darkest truth of life and death. Here, a character going through stage 4 cancer believes in miracles and their transforming power, while another faces God. This one is a heartwarming popcorn entertainer.

It’s encouraging to see Waititi try to show more of Thor’s eccentric and comic side, which was also there in Ragnarok. Despite the fact that this time he goes a little too far. His genre-defying rom-com is a tonne of fun, but it also lacks in scope and action for a Marvel production. While the flashy acrobatics and witty humour keep you amused, you lose the Asgardian Avenger’s larger-than-life, scary superhero allure. Everything seems very basic and hurried in order to advance the plot. Scenes appear choppy all the time. Also failing to elicit the emotional engagement anticipated in a story like this is a lack of build-up.

Chris Hemsworth’s portrayal of Thor, the God of Thunder, is arguably the last surviving member of Marvel’s phase 1 superheroes. Waititi deserves praise for his humorous imagination because Thor is still in charge in phase 4. Directors are attempting to lead the franchises in various ways, thus Phase 4 appears to be a little lost at this moment. Both “Love and Thunder” and “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” were overtly terrifying movies. Don’t call me “woman Thor, the name is mighty Thor,” Natalie Portman is excellent in the lead role, but Christian Bale is the one who makes you feel the most. His antagonist “Gorr” is too conflicted and murky to appear to be a credible foe.

Post Kanguva debacle, Tamil Nadu producers demand ban of YouTube channels from theatres

This decision comes after the release of Kanguva on November 14, which saw a lot of negative feedback on the opening day from YouTube reviews.

On Wednesday, the Tamil Nadu Producers Council (TNPC) issued a strong statement requesting theatre owners to ban fans’ interviews by YouTube channels on theatre premises post the first day first shows (FDFS) and cooperate in doing away with this FDFS public review and opinion process completely.

In a long four-page letter, the Tamil Nadu Producers Council has condemned ‘personal attacks and incitement of hatred in the name of film reviews.’ They said that films like Indian 2, Vettaiyan and Kanguva were highly impacted due to YouTube FDFS public reviews.

What the letter stated

This letter comes after the release of Suriya’s film Kanguva on November 14 which saw a tremendous amount of negative feedback from the audience in the first day first show YouTube reviews and opinion videos. The TNPC wrote that journalists have the right to criticise flaws in the film and talk about the positives and negatives but no one can engage in personal attacks and try to destroy the entire film in their reviews. According to them, this would lead to the downfall of the film industry itself.

The letter also stated, “Critics have every right to review movies. But we request all journalists to write film reviews keeping in mind that hatred towards a film should not be sown in the media because of personal malice. It is imperative that all the associations related to the film industry unite and stop this practice by not encouraging them anymore.”

More details

Kerala was the first state to establish this ban on YouTube reviews. In 2023, Mubeen Rauf, director of Aromalinte Adyathe Pranayam, who was supported by the Producers’ Association filed a case in court to ban YouTube reviewers from theatre premises as their negative public opinion videos were affecting the film business.

The Kerala High Court then issued a directive to the concerned authorities to prevent online reviews of films by social media influencers, YouTube reviewers, and bloggers for seven days following the release of a film.

The court went a step further and even issued notice to the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the Central Board of Film Certification to establish clear and transparent guidelines for online film critics and vloggers. Producers felt this move would protect the industry.
