'Thor: Love and Thunder': a superhero with a sense of humour

New Zealand director-screenwriter Taika Waititi and lead actor Chris Hemswhorth build on the success of Thor: Ragnarok (2017). Thor is both the superhero who has to save children from the hands of a serial killer (Christian Bale) who has set his target on the gods, and the paladin who has to provide comic relief. To his surprise, his ex (Natalie Portman) turns up once more, she has cancer and has become a Thor too.

If you enjoy Marvel films that take the superhero nonsense seriously, then give this one a miss. But if you appreciate some silliness, a bit of self-mocking and heavy metal in a Marvel, then be sure to check this one out.
