"Love & Thunder" is like a fun but forgettable filler comic - silly, short, bright, diverting, feigning import, & largely lacking substance. The biggest problem is the incessant humor fighting against the uber-serious themes. I miss Branagh's Shakespearean self-seriousness that used to ground this character. Don't get me wrong; it's often quite funny, but when there are ten overly self-aware jokes every minute, some are bound to work.
