I enjoyed Thor: Love and Thunder because it was a strange mess of a movie, that was entertaining from start to finish. I had been mildly disappointed with Thor: Ragnarok because it fell short of being a strange mess of a movie, which is what its trailer had adamantly advertised. Finally, with Love and Thunder, we got the movie that Ragnarok had promised to be, one that breaks the fundamental rule of comic book movies: it doesn't take itself too seriously. Perhaps it was the negative buzz from the fanboys, or the jaded critics' analysis of Christian Bale's "villain", but I walked into the theater expecting a repeat of the unwatchable Thor: The Dark World, but instead found a thoroughly entertaining piece of escapism, one that made me laugh, smile, and roll my eyes. Being entertained is always better than being mildly disappointed.
