Watched it the very first day and I have mixed reactions to it. While it was definitely better than Multiverse of Madness, it couldn't live up to the standards of Ragnarok. Would have loved to see more of Bale's Gorr. The climax also felt rushed. Still, not the worst Thor movie by any means!

It was an enjoyable movie with a better villain that most Marvel films.

I did watch it.

But it didn't stand out as anything special.
It seems like Hollywood writers are running out of ideas.
There were a few funny moments; Thor movies always have some humour in them.
But the movie opened up a whole bunch of new scenarios.
e.g., Where were all these other gods when Thanos was threatening the universe?
Is life in Valhalla going to be a whole new storyline for upcoming Marvel movies?
The multiverse, alone, already made things overly complicated.
etc. etc.

The Marvel universe is becoming like a mixed up soap opera and it's getting hard to keep track of things. And with anything possible in the Multiverse, the requirement to write a plausible story no longer exists. Writers can write whatever fantasy they want; they are no longer bound to write a realistic story. It's become all about thrills and special effects. I'm really getting bored with how everything coming out of Hollywood today feels like it's following the exact same formula.

The movie gives 'there is more to what we've known 'vibe cause of the new characters and unexpected events in the movie,so I think we should hold on and expect more thrilling movie from the marvel studios 🎥📽️🎞️🎬💯🧘

Sadly, I was disappointed with the movie. The goats were the only ones that made the movie fun for me.

Hmm. Honestly, was a bit disappointed with this. Since Ragnarok making Thor into such a comedic character was so successful, I feel like Takai tried to play into that comedy for this movie, but while in Ragnarok, the comedy was appopriate and didn't feel like it was taking away from the main plot, it felt too over-the-top for this one. The comedy just felt like it was there for the sake of comedy and I feel like I missed the point of the movie. There were a lot of things that I felt could have been explored more like Gorr vs Thor and it definitely felt like a movie full of missed opportunity and poor taste in humour.

I didn’t like it. The story was ok and the characters were fine, but they tried to do way too many jokes. Sure, some of them were good, but a lot of them simply weren’t funny and made the movie unpleasant to watch.

You and I both agree. It's sad how many special effects and pointless jokes there are in the newest movies and television series. Their products are not only uninteresting, but also annoying due to the multiverse idea they now use. The creators of modern films and television programs seem to have little knowledge of the classics, as seen by the clichéd narratives they create and their unconvincing justification that there are an infinite number of possibilities in the multiverse..

It sucks; there's nothing good about it; the CGI, story, characters, villain, pacing, and jokes all suck. It's just a bad movie. Absolutely terrible movie.

I really liked the movie. Although, a lot of people found fault in the movie which I was unable to detect maybe because I'm not a die hard fan of Marvel movies.

I was somewhat disappointed when the story about the villain differed from the comic because, in my opinion, the climax in the comic was better.
