At The Theater

Thor: Love and Thunder–This film finds Thor (Chris Hemsworth) on a journey unlike anything he’s ever faced–a quest for inner peace. But his retirement is interrupted by a galactic killer known as Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale), who seeks the extinction of the gods. To combat the threat, Thor enlists the help of King Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), Korg (Taika Waititi) and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), who–to Thor’s surprise–inexplicably wields his magical hammer, Mjolnir, as the Mighty Thor. Together, they embark upon a harrowing cosmic adventure to uncover the mystery of the God Butcher’s vengeance and stop him before it’s too late.

Rotten Tomatoes critics and audiences generally liked this Thor movie with 65% and 77 % approvals, respectively. This movie is rated PG-13 (intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, language, some suggestive material and partial nudity). The IMDb parent’s guide notes that the sex and nudity are relatively mild, and the violence and gore are rated moderate. A monster has its head ripped off and that produces lots of purple blood. A scene where children are snatched from their beds, and a jump scare scene near the end of the movie, may scare some children. Runtime is 2 hours.
