Thor: Love and Thunder (12A)
(Curzon Colchester)

(US/New Zealand/Australia 2022)
Walt Disney/Marvel. 119m. ws

Thor's girlfriend channels his power to jointly fight cancer and a serial killer of gods.
Action and self-parody outweigh plot and characterisation in this latest recycling of the Marvel series, with some interesting casting but generally feeling like a Bill and Ted excellent adventure without most of the comedy.
