LOVE AND THUNDER Reactions Declare It The Greatest Marvel Movie Yet And Tease Unmissable Post-Credits
Following last night’s world premiere of Thor: Love and Thunder, the first reactions have surfaced on social media and they’re almost all overwhelmingly positive! Find out what people are saying here…
The trailers for Thor: Love and Thunder have pointed to the movie being a fun ride, but with a runtime of less than two hours and a lot of comedy in those sneak peeks, some fans have expressed concern about the direction the Thor: Ragnarök sequel is being taken in.
Well, there’s really no reason to be worried based on these first social media reactions following last night’s world premiere. They’re pretty much all glowing, praising the humor, romance, and action. It doesn’t sound like the Guardians of the Galaxy have a huge role, but Natalie Portman, Christian Bale, and Russell Crowe all clearly deliver standout performances.
Quite a few critics have teased what sound like two unmissable post-credits scenes, so you’ll definitely want to avoid spoilers before seeing Thor: Love and Thunder in theaters.
The review embargo for the movie doesn’t lift until right before the blockbuster is released, but they will obviously provide both a much better idea about what to expect and that all-important Rotten Tomatoes score. If these Tweets are any indication, we’d bet on it coming somewhere close to Thor: RagnarökIt’s 93%, anyway!
Take a look at these first Thor: Love and Thunder reactions below:
Another classic Thor adventure! #ThorLoveAndThunder is everything I wanted it to be. Big, colorful, weird Guns N’ Roses-fueled battles to go w/ a hopelessly romantic story about discovering love in unexpected places. Christian Bale & Russell Crowe are especially great. And Korg! pic.twitter.com/fu0gTUuMRj

#ThorLoveAndThunder gets better when it’s not trying to desperately recapture the magic of Ragnarok. Most of the humor doesn’t land as well as it did the first time, but Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, & Christian Bale do the best with it.

#ThorLoveAndThunder is a vivid and vibrant blast that delivers. Hemsworth’s Thor remains a jewel in Marvel’s crown. Bale’s Gorr is a killer boogeyman blending the campy and the creepy. Portman’s Foster and Thompson’s Valkyrie are a top notch pairing. Crowe’s Zeus is *chef’s kiss* pic.twitter.com/PDb5SZRWOo

#ThorLoveAndThunder has an Appetite For Destruction & laughs. It’s totally rad! Taika Waititi delivers a subversive, irreverent spectacle. Great story, stakes & character-building. Chris Hemsworth & Natalie Portman, superb.Russell Crowe & Christian Bale slip easily into the world pic.twitter.com/W7PUUXIfM5

#ThorLoveandThunder es [frick]ing great. I instantly think one of my favorite Marvel movies – probably cause it’s easily the funniest, yet still had me choked up by the end. I hope Taika Waititi never stops making Thor movies.

I saw #ThorLoveAndThunder. It can’t quite match the visual or comedy bombast of Ragnarok, but Taika Waititi makes up for it with an emotionally mature Marvel movie. It’s also very funny (Natalie’s got jokes) and features one of the most stunning visual sequences in MCU history.

THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER is a rockin’ great time with electrifying action, lots of laughs (the screaming goats!) & a profound story on absent gods & our desire for love. Natalie Portman makes a mighty return & Christian Bale slays it as the terrifying Gorr. The best Thor film yet! pic.twitter.com/s42SkqxlJj

#ThorLoveAndThunder is the GREATEST movie Marvel has made so far! I’m not joking. I haven’t laughed that hard since Ragnarok and I feel invested in Marvel again in a way that I haven’t since Endgame. Also, bring tissues. The journey is *chefs kiss* from start to finish!❤️ pic.twitter.com/bJYVxCJoQS

wow!! #ThorLoveandThunder is great! The best entry in Phase 4 behind Shang-Chi and No Way Home. I laughed. I created. Then I laughed and raised some more, in that order. Natalie Portman is FINALLY given her due. Dr. Jane Foster is more than worthy of being the Mighty Thor.⚡️ pic.twitter.com/oOop89P1uf

Thor: Love and Thunder is so very Taika Waititi! It’s wild, hilarious, action packed, & even dark. Christian Bale is phenomenal as Gorr and Tessa Thompson crushes it! Get ready to love those goats! Not enough Guardians (I’m biased on that). Mid credit is FIRE! #ThorLoveAndThunder pic.twitter.com/JaRDUkAEcT
