• Some found the film's narrative to be overly cluttered and the humor inconsistent.

Google audience: Google users appreciated the film's humor, action sequences, and the return of Natalie Portman as Mighty Thor. However, a significant portion of viewers felt the story was unfocused and that the film tried to balance too many elements, leading to a less satisfying experience.

Taika Waititi initially considered making Gorr the God Butcher a purely non-speaking role, but Christian Bale's performance led to him having dialogue.
