Hughes and Boyle make a good double act that feels vibrant and alive, not dusty and far away. Thats his conscience as a good, truth-seeking man in a cut-throat world. Its 1536, mid-Reformation and two years after the Act of Supremacy broke England from Rome. For him, that justification must also be the truth. For Cromwell, the truth is immaterial as long as the monastery falls. Neither has this sinister, satisfying adaptation wasted any of the novels screen potential....

Chris Hemsworth feels a bit of shame about his unworthy sequel Thor: Love and Thunder. According to the origin of MarvelsThor, the All-Father Odin sends his son to Earth to learn humility. It sounds like Thor actorChris Hemsworthhas had to do the same thing. I didnt stick the landing. Its easy to see why Hemsworth leaned so far into Waititis style forLove and Thunder.
