Review — Thor: Love and Thunder

★★☆☆☆ I gotta say Love and Thunder was a huge disappointment. I’m sure it was probably much better in the movie theater than on the small screen, but they really skimped on the story. Movie was almost all special effects. Yes, they had the story line of Jane with stage…
