The powerful but arrogant god Thor is cast out of Asgard to live amongst humans in Midgard. Falling in love with scientist Jane Foster teaches Thor much-needed lessons, and his new-found strength comes into play as a villain from his homeland sends dark forces toward Earth.

[The] result isn't as much fun as the Iron Man movies, but it's better than The Incredible Hulk and a worthy entry in the fast-growing Avengers series.May 16, 2011
There is pleasure to be plundered from some of the battle scenes, especially when Thor is confronting ice monsters with blood-red eyes, and from the culture clash that resounds when he descends to present-day Earth...May 12, 2011
The story might perhaps be adequate for an animated film for children, with Thor, Odin and the others played by piglets. In the arena of movies about comic book superheroes, it is a desolate vastation.April 12, 2013
Let's hope Branagh was well-compensated, at least. To quote his favorite author: No profit grows where is no pleasure taken.May 09, 2011
A giant notch up is Hiddleston, who'd make a good Edmund in King Lear: You register the chip on his shoulder rather than the villainy.November 06, 2013
Strikes a mighty blow to the summer blockbuster season and will charge up audiences just like the first 'Iron Man.'October 29, 2013
Drab, bloated and stuck together with special effects that look like high-end Microsoft screensavers.May 03, 2015
The mildly amusing midsection plays like a Viking take on Crocodile Dundee.July 13, 2015
Thor is a really good popcorn flick -- just a little too bloated in places to hit the mark as well as it could have.April 21, 2013
Thor is terrific fun! It's aware of its own silliness but made with complete integrity and heart. The film is also beautifully designed and very well performed. A great summer blockbuster!April 12, 2013
Thor is on much safer ground here on Earth. The tone is immediately different: more relaxed; comic, not cosmic.May 06, 2011
This is eminently missable, though the mosaic design of Asgard, Thor's mythical realm, is pretty cool.
