⭐ Insomniacs Rating: 4/10 THE SUMMARY Thor is on a quest for inner peace, having ditched the "superhero" life to wander the galaxy with the Guardians of the Galaxy. His retirement is cut short by Gorr the God Butcher, a man who has sworn to eliminate every deity in existence after his own god failed him. To stop Gorr, Thor teams up with King Valkyrie, Korg, and—to his absolute shock—his ex-girlfriend Jane Foster, who is now inexplicably wielding a reconstructed Mjolnir as the Mighty Thor. Together, they embark on a cosmic journey to Omnipotence City to warn the gods and stop Gorr before he reaches Eternity to make a universe-altering wish. THE PROS Christian Bale is a winner as Gorr; he brings a sincere, terrifying gravitas to a film that desperately needs it. His performance is epic status, even if he feels like he’s in a completely different movie than everyone else. Natalie Portman’s return is quality, and seeing her as the Mighty Thor is a punchy highlight that gives the character a much-deserved arc. The "Shadow Realm" sequence—filmed entirely in black and white—is visually stunning and pure quality cinema, showing what director Taika Waititi can do when he leans into the more artistic side of the franchise. Russell Crowe also provides some quality laughs as a pompous, skirt-wearing Zeus, leaning hard into the absurdity of the "God of Gods." THE CONS It earns a 4/10 because it takes all the wrong lessons from 'Ragnarok' and cranks the humor up to a level that is frankly exhausting. The comedy is so relentless that it undercuts every sincere emotional beat, making Jane’s cancer diagnosis feel like an afterthought. The pacing can feel slightly sluggish despite being under two hours, and the screaming goats are a joke that becomes a damp squib within five minutes. It misses a higher mark because the CGI is shockingly quality-deficient for a $250 million movie—the "floating head" scene is particularly bad and looks like a rush job. It’s a bit of a mess that values quips over plot, leaving Gorr with far too little screen time and a finale that feels rushed and unearned. THE VERDICT A 4/10. Below average and highly recommended only for Marvel completionists or those who don't mind their cosmic epics being treated as a Saturday Night Live sketch. It’s a winner for Bale’s acting, but the rest is a bit of a damp squib. Go and watch it on Disney+ for the visuals of New Asgard, but be prepared for a serious case of "joke fatigue"—it’s a quality-deficient entry in the Thor saga. INSOMNIAC TRIVIA • Gorr’s Inspiration: To prepare for the role of Gorr, Christian Bale took inspiration from the unsettling music video for Aphex Twin's "Come to Daddy." He originally wanted to look like the comic-book version, but director Taika Waititi changed the design because he thought it looked too much like Voldemort.• Family Affair: This movie was a real family production. Chris Hemsworth’s daughter, India Rose, plays Love (Gorr’s daughter), and his twin sons portray young Thor. Taika Waititi, Natalie Portman, and Christian Bale also had their children play the kidnapped Asgardian kids in the film.• Cut Cameos: Several high-profile actors filmed cameos that were ultimately cut to keep the runtime punchy. This included Lena Headey (who was reportedly paid $7 million for her role), Peter Dinklage as Eitri, and Jeff Goldblum as the Grandmaster. THE VIBE Like a neon-colored disco party in a cemetery. It smells like glitter, cheap beer, and wasted potential.
