After his retirement is interrupted by Gorr the God Butcher, a galactic killer who seeks the extinction of the gods, Thor enlists the help of King Valkyrie, Korg, and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster, who now inexplicably wields Mjolnir as the Mighty Thor. Together, they embark upon a harrowing cosmic adventure to uncover the mystery of the God Butcher’s vengeance and stop him before it’s too late.
The Thor and Mighty Thor thing works well enough. Nice to see the King of Asgard back in action as well. Korg sadly demoted from hilarious comedy foil to exposition fountain. Christian Bale about the most one-dimension baddie since Malekith.
I can’t say much about the plot. I’m not sure there is one.
How do you go from a top 5 slot on your first MCU movie to a bottom 5 on your second?
★★
When a small-town Irish cop with a crass personality is partnered with a straight-laced FBI agent to bust an international drug-trafficking ring, they must settle their differences in order to take down a dangerous gang.
This is the kind of film that you quote lines from, to yourself, and chuckle. Then a colleague asks you what you’re laughing at and you try to explain but end up looking like psychopath. Sorry, sociopath.
★★★★
