The first reactions to “Thor: Love and Thunder” are here, one of the most anticipated films of the year which will be released in theaters on June 8th. After the world premiere in Hollywood, from the Mecca of cinema the specialized press has already been able to pour out its first impressions on social networks, even if the criticism itself remains under embargo for now. Among the most repeated comments on this new chapter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the God of Thunder, stand out the work of Christian Bale as Gorr, his use of comedy and the visual aspect of him.
For instance simon tompson by Variety describes it as a “vibrant explosion that meets expectations” and says Chris Hemsworth’s Thor is standing still “Jewel in the crown of wonder”. Eric Italiano of BroBible considers it “the funniest movie in the MCU” and ensures that the lines are only as good as the cast making them (yes, he even said his storyline is “lazy and uninteresting”). Courtney Howardsentiment and contributor to media such as The AvClub, he is even surprised by the level of humor: “There is so much madness, unbridled, completely off the wall in ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ that I’m still amazed he slipped / got away with it”wrote on Twitter.
Directed by Taika Waititi and starring Hemsworth, Bale, Natalie Portman as Jane Foster Tessa Thompson and Russell Crowe as Zeus. The film also features Chris Pratt, JJaimie Alexander, Pom Klementieff, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel, Guardians of the Galaxy; Sean Gunn and Jeff Goldblum among others. We leave you with some tweets from the press and critics who have already been able to see the film, but it should be remembered that these first reactions are usually more enthusiastic than the full reviews, but for these we will have to wait until June 5th.

Christian Bale is extraordinarily menacing as #ThorLoveandThunderis the villain, Gorr the God Butcher. One of the creepiest Marvel villains we’ve ever seen on screen. At one point he gave me some Dark Knight Ledger Joker vibes. pic.twitter.com/zsg9SNXfqY

“Christian Bale is extraordinarily menacing as’ Thor: Love and Thunder ‘villain, Gorr the Butcher God. One of the creepiest Marvel villains we’ve ever seen on screen. At times he reminded me of Heath Ledger’s Joker in’ The dark Knight’ “.
THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER is a big rock moment with thrilling action, lots of laughs (the screaming goats!) And a deep story about absent gods and our longing for love. Natalie Portman makes a powerful return and Christian Bale kills him as the terrifying Gorr. The best Thor movie ever! pic.twitter.com/s42SkqxlJj

Another classic Thor adventure! #ThorLoveAndThunder that’s all I wanted it to be. Big, colorful and weird battles fueled by Guns N ‘Roses with a hopelessly romantic story about discovering love in unexpected places. Christian Bale and Russell Crowe are particularly good. And Korg! pic.twitter.com/fu0gTUuMRj

But not everything can be achieved
In addition to criticizing an inconsistent storyline, some complaints point out that it does not maintain the level of its predecessor or that it does not seem to continue with the rest of Marvel’s Phase 4.
I saw #ThorLoveAndThunder. It can’t match Ragnarok’s visual or comic magnificence, but Taika Waititi makes up for it with an emotionally mature Marvel movie. It’s also a lot of fun (Natalie has lines) and features one of the most stunning visual sequences in MCU history.

“I’ve seen ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’. It can’t match the visual or comic magnificence of ‘Ragnarok’, but Taika Waititi makes up for it with an emotionally mature Marvel movie. The most jaw-dropping visual sequences in MCU history.”
I’m not really disappointed because the movie you see in the trailers is what you get here. I can’t help but think Taika could have cut a lot of humor to make more room for Portman and Bale.
Also, the second half of the film looks slightly better than the first.

“‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ gets better when he’s not desperately trying to recapture the magic of ‘Ragnarok.’ Most of the humor doesn’t work as well as the first time around, but Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman and Christian Bale do their best.
I’m not really disappointed because the movie you see in the trailers is what it gives you. I can’t help but think that Taika could have removed a lot of the humor to give Portman and Bale more space. Also, the second half of the film is slightly better than the first. “
#ThorLoveAndThunder it is much more episodic than I would have suspected. Offers great laughs. Very bad standard cookie cutters with Christian Bale. I want the comedy about the cop friend starring Natalie Portman and Tessa Thompson. Matt Damon has to go to Broadway. Postal credits are EPIC! Pure fun. pic.twitter.com/2J5UQuHHSA
