This is so not a good movie. Let me count the ways. In every way it is not at all good, with the exception of the acting quality of the cast and the director. There is so much star power here. Chris Helmsworth is back as Thor--of note, this is his last reprisal of the role it seems, as he just found out that he is homozygous for APOE4, which confers a 10 fold increase in dementia of the Alzheimer's type, and he is retiring early to enjoy himself. The director is Taika Waititi, who has a complicated movie catelog, but he is firmly within the Marvel Universe ouevre, and so he gets a pass on this. In addition, Russell Crowe is Zeus, Christian Bale is the bad guy, and Natalie Portman is the "love" of "love and thunder". Do not get me wrong, I did watch the whole movie, but it is mostly just an uninspired script and a fair amount of action that is not egregiously long. There were some very cool goats that remind us of our puppy that we will carry forward from this experience, but otherwise, it was very mediocre.
