Other than Christian Bale's performance as a "star actor sobriety."

[The Fact Reporter Lee Han-rim ] There was nothing to eat at the rumored feast. The inherent amusement of Marvel Universe (MCU) movies is still there, but it seems to be losing its shine more and more. It's worth watching as Thor, Marvel's most popular character since Iron Man, regains and realizes his ego, but the gag chords and uninspired action gods that are less than the goat cries feel a bit far from the hilarious and glamorous fun of past Marvel movies.

The movie "Thor: Love and Thunder" ("Thor 4") is a blockbuster film in which Thor confronts the cosmic threat of the god butcher Gor, along with Valkyrie, Korg, and Mighty Thor. Chris Hemsworth, who has been playing Thor for more than 10 years, and Taika Waititi, who directed "Thor: Ragnarok," which is considered the best of all time in the "Thor" series, have reunited to raise the expectations of Marvel fans.

But expectations have turned into concerns. This year, Marvel released two solo movies that dealt with the narratives of individual heroes, including "Doctor Strange 2" and "Thor 4," but they can't catch the spirit. Even though "Doctor Strange 2," which was nailed from the beginning as a genre-wise "horror movie," "Thor 4" has been said to have lost the jolly flavor characteristic of the "Thor" series and doesn't feel more fun than a trailer.

If there's one thing that I remember, it's the acting skills of Christian Bale, who played Billen Gor. Without the squeezing of a shrine or an outburst of emotion, the act of being soulful is completed with a villain full of paternity and revenge. Dubbed the 'Alchemist of the Flesh', he continues to control his weight to a great extent in each of his works, and even though he dresses up and uses magic in the Heroes, he does not lose his facial expressions, dialogue, or acting power, which gives him extreme immersion. Other than the god of Gor, I can't remember such an impressive scene.

The consumption of star actors is also unfortunate. Except for Chris Hemsworth, the protagonist and Chris Hemsworth who will continue the Thor narrative, the reappearance of Natalie Portman, who has long since made an appearance in the 'Thor' series, is welcome but lacks the justification for being reborn as Mighty Thor and throwing his life away, and cameo appearances like Russell Crowe, Matt Damon, and Sam Neill were easily consumed for gags in a squeaky unfolding, earning them arsenic.

Tor's narrative begins again with the power of love and thunder worthy of the subtitle "Love and Thunder" is a success if "connection" is the sole purpose of the film. However, when you watch the movie, it's hard to erase the feeling that it wouldn't have been better to see Thor in "Guardians of the Galaxy 3" than in "Tor 5."

Meanwhile, 'Thor 4' continues to make its early release in domestic theaters, contrary to the ratings of the arc. Tom Cruise's "Top Gun: Maverick," which flew to No. 1 at the box office for more than two weeks and has a cumulative audience of 4 million, has garnered an audience of 580,000 just two days after its release (6 days). The running time is 119 minutes. There are 2 cookie videos.

However, when "Tor 4" was introduced instead of "Top Gun: Maverick" in premium cinemas (CGV IMAX, Megabox Dolby Cinema, Lotte Cinema Superplex, etc.) where you could feel the fun and emotion of the masterpiece, even more, some movie fans began to get a buzz. Marvel movies have long since established themselves as box office endorsements in domestic theaters through their status as represented by the 'Avengers' series. I still expect that this time will be different. However, the time seems to come when expectations will gradually be lowered.
