admin — Wed, 05 Oct 2022 13:22:20 +0000

Thor is on a quest for inner peace in his third standalone movie Thor: Love And Thunder, directed by Taiki Waiti and to celebrate the movie heading to 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD, we’re giving away THREE amazing prize bundles consisting of the movie on Blu-ray PLUS a signed poster!

But first, immerse yourselves once again in the Eighties-tastic trailer…

Thor: Love And Thunder 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, Korg 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.

In our review we said that “the effervescent neon-tinged worldbuilding (Waititi at one point executes an ominous reverse The Wizard of Oz sequence) satisfyingly matches the pulsating score by Michael Giacchino and Nami Melumad, and a soundtrack that amusingly uses Abba, Enya and Mary J. Blige” and now you can win your very own copy of the film (plus not forgetting that poster) with our compeition!

To be in with a chance, all you have to do is answer the simple question below…

This competition closes on 18 October so get those answers in now. Good luck!

Thor: Love and Thunder Arrives on Digital September 22nd and 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD 3 October.

Thor: Love and Thunder Review: Welcome to the jungle!

admin — Tue, 05 Jul 2022 20:08:27 +0000

The magic of escaping into fantasy for a brief time when everything around is falling apart is an attractive prospect. With Thor: Love and Thunder his second Thor film after Ragnarok, director Taika Waititi acknowledges this fact by sending a cancer-afflicted Jane Foster (a pumped Natalie Portman returns wielding Mjolnir!) on a comical high-seas voyage with Thor (Chris Hemsworth on fine comedic form), Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) and Korg (Waititi), while filling in the gaps on her doomed romance story with the God of Thunder. Just like Dorothy followed the Yellow Brick Road in The Wizard of Oz, Jane travels a rainbow-coloured tide on a wild adventure where companionship and disillusionment pave a journey of great sacrifice and discovery.

The lively crew are pitted against adversary Gorr the God-Butcher – Christian Bale bearing a resemblance to the Atmosfear Gatekeeper and a War Boy from Mad Max: Fury Road. The aforementioned film is a clear influence on Waititi’s vibrant yet tragic Guns N’ Roses (four songs feature) rock opera from the opening shot. It may not possess the brutal elegance of George Miller’s post-apocalyptic masterpiece, but it is a highly entertaining MCU entry, charged with cheeky sexual innuendo, silly comedy and cameos that may make you guffaw or cringe.

The effervescent neon-tinged worldbuilding (Waititi at one point executes an ominous reverse The Wizard of Oz sequence) satisfyingly matches the pulsating score by Michael Giacchino and Nami Melumad, and a soundtrack that amusingly uses Abba, Enya and Mary J. Blige. Plus, the costume design by Mayes C. Rubeo is to die for. Thompson works both sharp suits and baggy T-shirts while Hemsworth and Portman get to show off chiselled good-looks and robust guns in cut-off armour and leather gear.

The dynamic cast share great chemistry, with Portman and Thompson’s scenes of sisterhood particularly uplifting. The heart of the film, however, lies in the endearingly performed relationship between Thor and Jane. Hemsworth and Portman’s flirtations are mischievous, and when the film reaches its emotional climax, the pair deliver the dramatic goods. For the most part, love and loss are dealt with in a self-aware fashion, nodding to the tropes of breakup films and romantic comedies with all the subtlety of Thor brandishing Stormbreaker mid-battle. But that’s all part of the fun.

Thor: Love and Thunder opens in cinema 8 July 2022.
