Wion's review of the film read, "But the film cannot recreate the magic that we saw playing out in the preceding film. The trouble, I feel, is that the film is missing that immaculate cocktail of intelligent, humour-laced writing and carefully crafted set pieces that made 'Ragnarok' one of the best MCU entries."
If early trends are anything to go by, 'Love and Thunder' will continue to do well as its word of mouth is pretty strong and despite average reviews, the fans love it.
