Even though many critics have praised Chrisitan Bale for playing Gorr with all his might,USA Todaycommented:
“Bale is outstanding as Gorr, joining Thanos and Killmonger among the best of MCU’s rogues gallery.”
A criticism of the character that has persisted is how the director has handled Christian Bale’s performance. Mainly stated that the actor isn’t given a challenging enough script to perform, Entertainment Weekly stated:
“Bale is appropriately ghoulish and sepulchral, though the difficult-setting on this part seems low for an actor of his caliber; mostly, he just has to snarl from dark corners and not lose too much squid-ink spittle when he talks.”

A mixed bag is expected again with Thor: Love and Thunder
Known for its cameos, Marvel has double-downed on its cameos in its fourth phase,Spider-man: No Way Homebeing a Cameo fest for example. The inclusion of so many elements has resulted in the movie not being able to balance its tone. Mark Kennedy ofThe Associated Presscommented on the same:
“The whipsaw from death and suffering to idiocy is staggering, with Jennifer Kaytin Robinson credited alongside Waititi for a script that seems like it was pasted together after gerbils ripped up a bag of words.”
While previous Marvel movies were able to satisfy fans unanimously, only having a few rotten apples. The fourth phase is plagued with weak films, includingDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,Spider-Man: No Way Home, andBlack Widow, has the Marvel fever finally run out?
