Thanks Farerb. I was wondering what the budget was. $250, that is hefty. They need to find ways to lower these budgets... I heard a film needs to make 3 times as much as the budget in box office amounts total, to have a nice profit. If the box office only doubles the budget, then it would break even.

Looks like the disc will have some of the deleted scenes Taika said we'd never see.

A blockbuster usually had an ad campaign that costs $150m minimum. Add this to the budget, double it, and that's a rough indicator of the break-even point.

Chris Hemsworth told Vanity Fair he's "completely open" to reprising his role as Thor in the MCU.

He said that if he returned, Marvel would "probably have to close the book" on the character.

Hemsworth is the only MCU star to have four standalone movies.

Chris Hemsworth weighed in on his future as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

"Look, I'm completely open to it, if there is something unique and fresh and unexpected to do with the character and the world," Hemsworth said in a new interview with Vanity Fair. "I've always loved the experience. I've been very thankful I've been able to do something different each time."

Waititi helmed "Love and Thunder," which was released in July and concluded with a title card promising Thor's return in the future. To date, Hemsworth is the only MCU star to have four standalone films.

When asked by Vanity Fair if he thinks there are more Thor stories to tell, Hemsworth said: "I don't know. I think there'd be more to say if the people want to hear me say it."

The Australian actor also said that if he did reprise the role, Marvel would have to wrap up Thor's story.

"I feel like we'd probably have to close the book if I ever did it again, you know what I mean?" he said. "I feel like it probably warrants that. I feel like it'd probably be the finale, but that's not based on anything anyone's told me or any sort of plans."

He added: "You have this birth of a hero, the journey of a hero, then the death of a hero, and I don't know — am I at that stage? Who knows?"

Chris Hemsworth is great as Thor, but they need a much better movie that isn't a parody of the character like Thor 4 was. Ragnarok was over the top but it was a much stronger story IMO with the Hulk in there and the warrior lady versus Thor's evil, overpowered sister. Thor 1 and 2 were good Thor stories IMO.

My ranking:
Thor 3 Ragnarok
Thor 1
Thor 2
Thor 4

Hemsworth's whole career honestly centers on Thor, so I can imagine he hopes to leave the character behind eventually and see if he can move on without Thor.

$7 for a Disney Marvel blu ray of Thor 4 Love & Thunder blu ray for the Thanksgiving Sales week. That's tempting of a price. $10 I can say, no thanks, but $7... That price will not last long I bet.

A 3/5 movie. $7... Some funny scenes, and the end battle was very good IMO. I like Thor, but feel this film is a bit too over the top into the parody realm for him. It's kind of an entertaining movie despite its flaws.

I watched this movie last weekend. I really enjoyed every Movie of Phase 4 so far, but my expectations of this movie were very low, because Part 3 of Thor was very bad (Yeah I know, I am probably the only one here who thinks that way) but oh man Thor Part 4 sucked.

I hate these unfunny comedy. They tried to use a joke almost every 10 Seconds but non of them worked, they were just silly and stupid. I liked Christian Bale in his role. He hasn't much screentime, but he steals the show. He is serious and intense but in that moment when there was an stupid unfunny joke again I was like: Why did they want to destroy this really good Scene with a bad joke, why?
But the CGI was good and of course the Soundtrack, well a best of Guns N'Roses is always good

Exactly my ranking as well, although it's REALLY hard to rate 2 and 4, because they were both awful.

This sums it up pretty well. I really liked 3 because I felt the story was still pretty good even with the humor, it flowed well. Love and Thunder went way hard on the humor, added useless scenes that served only to close storylines yet also added major plotholes. And the Guardians were absolutely wasted. At the end of Endgame, I was excited for an Asguardians of the Galaxy adventure, instead we got this. I purchased L&T 4K on Black Friday for 7 bucks, because I do want to give it another go in case I like it more. But Bale was absolutely the best part of the film and was wasted.

Watched this again the other day. Easily the most rewatchable MCU film in this phase

[Zivouhr]

Finally saw this Thor 4 film a second time, this time at home instead of the theater.

I'll still keep it at 3/5, but I liked the whole motive of the Christian Bale Gor character, who was the main villain. They did a really good job with that and made it clear from the very opening scenes.

He lost his daughter in the desert, and went to his local god to find answers, only to be discarded. In that moment, he uses the power of the defeated warrior's spirit on the ground nearby, to embue the sword with the Soul Reaver, to destroy this garden god that was supposed to help him as a loyal servant. Then he goes on to destroy all the arrogant gods in his hateful quest to not deal with his sense of loss over his daughter.

That at least has a lot more depth than what we got with Ant-Man 3's Kang, who was mostly just trying to escape so he could destroy everything, but why? That film should've answered his clear motive but I wasn't convinced it was very meaningful beyond hate and revenge as he spoke about power.

The final battle was nicely done too in this film. Thor giving up his wish and not fighting Gor for the Eternal Wish seemed a bit odd. It's like Thor just gave up and let Gor take over. I would've expected Thor to wish to keep Jane alive. But he gave his wish to the villain, Gor. I don't quite understand why, other than maybe he knew Gor's daughter was just a kid, while Jane Foster was already a 30 year old woman.
Trivia, the daughter of Gor is actually Chris Hemsworth's daughter in real life.

I think the main weakness of the film is that it's not much of an adventure like Ragnarok was, but a more isolated film with very few locations.

They did a decent job with Jane Foster's story too, though I probably would like the film trimmed down by 10 minutes in some areas that kind of drag the film down a bit in pacing, and felt a bit unnecessary.


The director commentary was mostly his goal of trying to make jokes about things more than details about the making of process, so I only got halfway through with that and then shut it off.

You’re not the only one. I hate comedic Thor. A total departure from the comic version of Thor. That’s like making a comedic Batman or a serious Spider-Man.

I've enjoyed all 4 Thor's.
