It's nice to see Portman look like she's actually enjoying one of these movies. Also Valkyrie is King Valkyrie, which is neat.

More seriously this is perhaps the most comic book-ish movie I've seen, a lot of individual moments work well, and it feels nice when its indulging in the ability of comic books to do pretty much whatever with a straight face. The problem is its also tonally incoherent. MCU movies have issues handling tone already, but it feels worse in this film. Feels like it went through multiple rewrites and directors with competing visions or something.
I also must say that despite MCU being predominantly action genre in theory, this movie's fight scenes feel aggressively perfunctory. Like the director was told that he had to fulfill a certain minimum quota of dumb CGI monsters punched and did so with the enthusiasm of a man filing his tax returns.
The strongest points of the movie were probably the humor and having a good cosmic high fantasy aesthetic blend. Not too surprising given the director. But Ragnarok was better than this.

Loved it.
Might be just because I've watched it that many times over the years, but I thought this was funnier than Ragnarok. I particularly enjoyed story time with headless Otto(?) and lost it every time those goats screamed with perfect comic timing.
Didn't notice anything iffy with the CGI, and thought that one mostly black and white fight scene was pretty rad.
I don't agree that the tone issues were especially bad for the most part? The film had an idea of when it wanted to be funny and when it wanted to be serious, and certainly I didn't find that one undercut the other.
My one complaint is the pretty rubbish representation, which was just half-assedly shoved in there. Thank.
From a quick Google, I have just found that Gorr is an actual character, and that Thor therefore has two villains who lost a child and decided all gods had to die. I went into this totally blind, and was like 'it's Desak!' and was confused when everyone started calling him Gorr. That being the case, it makes more sense that his resurrected daughter with cosmic powers wasn't called Tarene, who was from the same run as Desak.
I don't think I'll go and see it again in cinema, but would definitely see it again in a year or so.

This is also pointedly the first Thor film without Loki and clearly suffers from his absence.

Eh, I agree that director's cuts are probably overrated, but I hate that the idea that there can only ever be one true cut of a film and that deleted scenes should be cast in the abyss to never be seen.
If someone prefers to watch some crazy long nine hour version of a film, that's their prerogative and entirely valid.

From what I've seen director's cuts are usually just kind of overrated but when they're good they're amazing, like Kingdom of Heaven.

I hate everything about this stupid Vanity Fair video. The open contempt for the work VFX artists who have to make this shit in horrible conditions most of all.

A good piece centered around the idea that noone in Thor 4 really believes in anything - and that nothing in it means anything - at all.

It was the same way I felt about the Flag Smashers, trying to give us a Greta Thurnberg and her brand of followers fighting to prevent the world from complacent and making sure the rich got their yachts and billion dollar estates back while some poor eastern European blue collar returning from the snap see that his country was destroyed and he was to help a despotic oligarch work in the factory with a significantly reduced standard of living
Even a Tyler Durden Expy would had been better for the Flag Smasher if this is the way Disney handles things

They didn't seem especially pleased with Thor
and why would Gorr end up in Valhalla, they've already established there are different afterlives for different people based on which gods they're caught up in. It's not clear how that would work out for Gorr, but it's unlikely he'd end up in Valhalla

Because she was Thor and pretty associated with the Asgardians at that point?

Box Office: ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ Stays No. 1 With $46M, ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’ Impresses With $17M

So does she believe in Norse warrior heaven? Is that a place she desires to go to? Like is that a thing in the movie's text?
My point in asking this is to say this is more of an after the fact justification for the film making a thoughtless choice, rather than being anything coherent and considered communicated to the audience.
Look she mantled Thor's CHIM, so she gets to go to thor's heaven.
