I loved the original Thor movie, in fact it's my favourite of all the Marvel releases. Kenneth Brannagh did a very good job.
I struggled with Dark World; it was considerably weaker. Then the switch to comedy came with Ragnarok, which seemed very popular but I found it hard to get through once again.
Love and Thunder goes back to basics with a decent, simple story but unfortunately just has too much super power tennis. Clashes are just bam, bam, bam, bam, win/lose. Then, the other to serve and I can't get into any of that kind action, which is prevalant in most MCU movies and just lacks effort in the writing.
The comedy and serious emotional moments don't mix too well either. The light vibe was just lost.
Jane Foster as Thor was fun but why she was called Thor I don't get. Why not just be called The Mighty Dr Foster or something? No harm to the plot but these kind of token hand-me-downs are distracting.
Overall, not much to write home about. It was OK watch but less good than Captain Marvel, which was already heading in the direction of generic super power movie.
I'm not a big MCU fan but I suspect even those that are will find this a bit forgettable.
