Out of what seemed as Marvel's weakest link in their Avengers-gamble, emerges the most entertaining superhero-flick they've produced since X2. Primarily Thor should be applauded for making the seemingly ridiculous premise (merging über-stylized interdimensional viking-ish fantasy with contemporary action/adventure) work so well - a result attributed mainly to the brisk pace and the likeable cast: spearheaded by Hemsworth's charmingly arrogant Norse god. A popcorn-movie as it should be!

It's pretty tricky to pull off a concept like Thor and make it digestible for audiences worldwide. Sci-fi viking-aliens, magic hammers, frost giants and rainbow bridges? The end result might not be shocking or offer anything really new, but it was a pleasant surprise for a hopeless comic geek like myself. A decent mix of action, humor, bright colors and winks to the fans. Seems a tad forgettable, unfortunately.

The fact that this movie worked at ALL, given the odd source material, is a major triumph. The Shakespearean themes in Asgard are nicely balanced with the fish-out-of-water comedy on Earth. Not amazing by any means, but a solid hit for Marvel.

Surprisingly Hemsworth did a fairly decent job as Thor and it was overall less silly than I imagined. Portman is solely there for a few quirky lines and to fall in love with Thor within 2 minutes. The 3D is pointless (2D wasn't showing at same time). Has a couple of laughs and some flying hammers. That's really about it.

I'm not as impressed as most are... Thor is at best a mediocre superhero movie and personally I cannot stand the mutilation of nordic mythology... With that said, Branagh does a good job transforming the weak plot into a decent movie. But why does it have to be about love? I mean it takes place over a couple of days and Thor changes way to fast. We should have had more of the Norse God behaving like one on earth, cause Hemsworth did a fine job as the arrogant God of Thunder! ANOTHER!

Offensive perversion of the Nordic belief. The writers can only redeem themselves, if they have a stab at a 'Bionic Combat Jesus'. Clearly they had no interest, no love and no faith in the otherwise awesome religion, or else they wouldn't have borrowed Gort the robot from 'The Day the Earth Stood Still', or added techno-babble-vikings, the Navii's ugly cousins, and a clichéd brotherhood conflict. Portman's puppy love stint is unbearably sugarsweet, and finallly: THOR DOES NOT CRY - EVER!

Having had my hopes pounded to the ground during the marketing of this film, it was revelating to find that something looking like a mess up close, came together as a whole when viewed from a distance. Hemsworth - or Hemmy as he will be named from now on - not only showing physical muscle, but also some for charismatic acting, comes off great as an elephant in the room when banned from Asgard. In my opinion the most succesful Marvel feature on the silver screen in years.

Hemsworth did a solid job as Thor, but the film is bogged down by useless 3-D, poor supporting roles and a weak villain. All in all, Branagh gave us a decent adaptation of the comic book that serves better as hype for the upcoming "The Avengers" than a standalone film.

The Space Aryans with a few token minorities (including a magic negro doorman) swing giant elongating anime weapons at frost giants. Mighty Thor acts like a spoiled big blonde baby until various daddy issues crop up getting him kicked out of Asgard. That's the plot. Apparently this is the best they can do for one of Marvel's campier heroes. There's gaudy CGI sprayed across the screen to break up the monotony of people talking n' stuff. Portman is really unsuited as the banal love interest.

Suprisingly entertaining for a plain jane table setter for the upcoming Avengers flick. Kenneth Branagh does a pretty good job shaping a simple story into something that works. Again with most movies the love story wasn't needed but Portman was fine, as was most of the rest of the cast.

Thor never really struck me as a concept that easily lent itself to a big Hollywood production. However Branagh does a solid job in overcoming (& at times embracing) the comic books inherent silly concepts. Hemsworth does well in the lead role, & Portman makes the most of her seriously underdeveloped character. Overall it looks supurb, has a good villian & is a fun ride, but is seriously limited by the terribly developed character relationships & the wasteful use of its near 2 hour runtime.

Charming Hemsworth seems suited for the titular role and provides the proper balance of arrogant prick/humbled hero. There are moments of great action and sharp humor but the supporting cast falters. Portman is surprisingly disappointing, Thor's loyalists and Dennings prove little more than comic relief and the villains flicker with promise before wilting into tired cliches. The creation of Asgard is breathtaking however and the visuals alone make this worth a view before 'Avengers' comes out.

The Jack Kirby-esque design of Asgard and the casting of Hemsworth and Hiddleston were absolutely perfect! It's unfortunate that the plot ends up following such a cookie-cutter progression which is becoming all-too-tired with Marvel's slate of hero flicks. If the producers weren't so adamant about including ultimately pointless nods and cameos to tie into Avengers, the film could have benefited from a slower-paced script that expanded upon the Thor/Jane relationship and Loki's motivations.

Somehow Asgard's proceedings felt more sincere than Earth's, despite all the classic fish-out-of-water humor propping up the latter. I guess it comes down to the talent of Hopkins, Hiddleston, and Elba vs. Portman, Dennings, and Skarsgard. Brannagh brought a suitable flair for romantic fantasy eye-candy but he's a bit too in love with the canted angles here.

Marvel Studios wisely made the storyline simpler than Iron Man 2's overstuffed bloater, so it's disappointing that a hero as unique as Thor doesn't get a premiere vehicle w/ all of the oomph that made the 1st Iron Man so much fun. The problems r small, but they keep things from soaring: the frost giants r generic, the fight scenes r often a smash-cut mish-mash,& the split between Loki& Thor would carry more weight had more good times between them been established. Still, this is mostly well done

If Thor had served at least a few years of sentence on earth, then the love and the transformation would have made sense. But I don't get how he becomes another man in matter of days or how a scientist falls in love with a topless guy who does not speak or behave sense. Does'nt make any sense but again the movie does not claim to be a movie of sense so it is possible to focus on the action and overlook the nonsense.

"Marvel's The Avengers: Assemble" series continues with the surprisingly fun and engaging introduction of "Thor", as well as the biggest expansion of the "Marvel Cinematic Universe" seen yet. By literally exposing other worldly realms in the universe to the audience, fans can expect "God" like threats in future films if we now have "God" like heroes. Chris Hemsworth is heavenly as "Thor" making it no wonder why Natalie Portman is in awe and nonstop eye-fucking him throughout the film.

Hemsworth kills it as Thor. I know the Thor films are among the least lauded in the MCU, butI found it to be quite fun and engaging. What intrigues me about Thor is that his story is completely different from most superheroes. He didn't gain his power or construct a suit; he has always had them. He is a God! He is all powerful and his personality and actions illustrate that. A refreshing flick that gets straight into the action. The romance and plot are dull, but the film is really enjoyable

Props to Thor for successfully putting a seemingly way too powerful superhero into the "normal" world and props for picking a very entertaining lead. After that, however, this is just a typical summer blockbuster. Not a bad one, but nothing more. The action was decent, the effects were decent, and the supporting cast was decent.

A good handful of my friends don't like this movie. I don't see why. Hemsworth, even with his dyed eyebrows, is solidly cast, as is Hiddleston as one of the best Marvel baddies on screen. The love story doesn't seem entirely necessary and the slow motion scenes feel a bit melodramatic, but otherwise, I think it's a very entertaining movie about redemption, with a great mix of emotion, humor, and thrills. One of the best from phase one.

The movie is actually very funny from time to time, which is probably the only reason it is still above 50. It is a blockbuster with special effects and good acting from Natalie Portman, but I find the story extremely poor (a blockbuster MUST have an exciting end battle. Thor's finally fight scene is a pure joke, especially on the story level). Considering the possibilities such a production budget offers, I was very disappointed.

Thor is ultimately a wholly unremarkable film. The art direction feels a bit too "tech-fantasy" for my liking making it lackluster and the overall lack of any character depth outside of the title character results in very bland scenes when he isn't in them. Oh and way too many random dutch angles. With that said Branagh is a master of inter-family squabbling when dealing with larger than life characters and what could have been melodramatic pap is actually handled quite well.

Surprised to see complaints of a weak villain here, as Hiddleston's Loki is one of the film's greatest strengths. It's one of the best villainous performances in recent memory, with sympathetic and believable motivations for dastardly deeds. Iron Man this ain't, but it's still a great deal of fun. Branagh strikes the perfect balance of over-the-top fantasy and humour, and draws great performances out of his cast. Hemsworth is a star, and Elba really shines here. See it flat, the 3D adds nothing.

Talk about a thorough exercise in mediocrity. So little occurs in the span of two hours that it's hard to even remember what happened. The drama is painfully flat; for a father-son dynamic amongst three characters, there's so little emotional impact. The fact that I know nothing about the Thor comics shouldn't inhibit me from enjoying a film about it, but that's exactly one of the film's most glaring problems. It merely remains a shadow of its source material.

Can't help but feel rushed: its surprisingly low key vfx, generic story prevent the film from attaining greater heights. Despite all that, "Thor" remains perfectly enjoyable if unremarkable escapism that doesn't take itself too seriously. Hemsworth's screen presence complements its character robust nature, I also like the idea of the interrelated worlds (had never read the comic book before). PM me if you'd like to discuss Kat Dennings' role in this movie, I'm dying to know what it was.

There is just something about a Shakespearian Director directing a Marvel movie that spells DISASTER - and YET Thor gets away with it, mostly because the movie doesn't take itself too seriously. Thor is surprisingly funny and all the way through you can allmost feel Brannagh winking and laughing along with you. Hemsworth is great as the arrogante and almost childishly selfish Thor. Having expected true horror I was really entertained. Best Superhero movie since Iron Man.

It's a mediocre movie, but honestly, I'll give it points for trying its very best. Branagh, he was trying his best. The writers, they were trying their best. It might sound like a slam, but it's not. In a lot of these superhero movies I get the impression that these people aren't really trying their best. The visual style is actually really interesting, even though the subject matter is stupid and sillygoose. The script is full of unfunny, awful jokes, but at least there were some surprises.

It's a little hard to get past the two wildly contrasting worlds, especially when the futuristic-space-viking one is saturated with CGI and cheesy costumes (though Elba's gatekeeper intrigues). Story-wise, a decent arrogant-hero-humbled premise headed by the charming hunk Hemsworth (the supporting characters are largely forgettable) is weighed down by a cliche jealous brother/father's approval sub-plot in space and a dull romance on earth (Portman's strong scientist Jane feels cheapened here).

Very impressed with Hemsworth, who has the exact amount of charisma needed for the part. Hopkins is gold and Skarsgård is good as always. All too predictable most of the time, but a fairly decent cast, overall good execution, a lot of well-placed testosterone and some great sequences in particular make this well worth a watch. This more than anything has me looking forward to The Avengers. Skip the 3D, though, it's worthless - watch it in 2D if you can.

Not all that great. Generic and exceptionally unremarkable escapism. The plot is quite poor, and the characters are boring and badly developed. Thor is boringly perfect; Loki is too transparent and bland (and almost more sympathetic than Thor!). And why was Portman (or that Darcy character) even in this film? Doesn't hold a candle to some of the other comic book superhero movies out there. It's watchable, though, if forgettable.

The 3D is -- yup! -- completely worthless. If you're gonna use 3D, do it in such a way that makes people, after seeing the movie, either A) want to see it again; B) tell their friends to see it in 3D; or C) both. "Thor" does none of these. Luckily it's worth seeing because of what actually happens IN the movie (which is the main thing of course). Just don't shell out your extra $$$ to see it in 3D. Has some humor and alright action. Might be a little rushed. AND, Kat Dennings. Mmm, Kat Dennings.

While the idea of an old Norse god spinning into our everyday reality is one of the boldest moves i've seen in sci-fi/comic movies, it's nothing more than a fun ride. Fight scenes are good, Asgard is impressive, but that's mostly it. Sidecast (Natalie Portman and others) isn't good at all and Loki is waay to soft to be a god of mischief and cunning. Watch this movie only for fun or if you're expecting something more from the upcoming Avengers.

Thor is a real tricky character to adapt for film. A lot of dense mythology and the character could easily come across as silly. This film is probably the best result we could have hoped for.

Suffering from the tedium that is inevitable when incompetent filmmaking serves a meaningless story, this relies heavily on the charms of its two leads. And, in fact, Portman is enormously attractive here (with natural makeup that succeeds in bringing out her undeniable beauty), playing a gentle, rather touching character. One suspects, however, that reviewers paid little attention to this, the film's chief virtue, and, if such is the case, it reflects yet another widespread critical blindspot.

Branagh's "Thor" is quite an agreeable superhero epic. There's plenty of spectacular action, character tension and, perhaps slightly surprisingly, laugh-out-loud moments. Despite the lighthearted aura that permeates a big chunk of the film's duration, the creators eventually couldn't help but rub the story's epicness right in your face, with an outstretched outro characterized by typically pompous dialogue underscored by cheesy music. Good humour and great action versus delusions of grandeur.

I went in without caring much about Thor and I will admit the movie kept me engaged. It had potential to be really silly and dumb looking, what with the garish helmets, armor and little hammer, but they avoided that. The action scenes were engaging. They really wasted Portman's character though. She's supposed to be this really smart scientist, but all it takes is for some arrogant, well built, and potentially crazy guy to kiss her on the hand and she almost faints from his charm. Decent flick.

Branagh was definitely the right man to direct this. The story (Thor stripped of his powers and sent to Earth) was a great choice for the first movie. Some of the character motivations were a little weak, but the actors playing them all did a great job (loved Tom Hiddleston as Loki, and Kat Dennings has great comedic timing even if her character didn't serve any purpose to the plot.) Nice action, good humor, very enjoyable.

Marvel once again brings another obscure superhero into the limelight. Granted, having Kenneth Branagh behind the camera helps out a lot, but the writing is what makes this a good time. Tom Hiddleston's performance at Loki is the film's best performance, even if his motivations can be a little by-the-book. Chris Hemsworth doesn't seem quite as comfortable with his role here as he does later in the MCU, but on the whole the comedic elements of Thor overcome some of this film's smaller faults.

The script serves no purpose other than to link together various SFX heavy set-pieces which are - with few exceptions - superfluous.

This is one of Marvel's finer films (I'd probably rank it fourth), with a near-perfect mix of action, humor, and sentimentality. Hemsworth is believable as the blond-haired Norse frat boy type, and Tom Hiddleston is even better as Loki, playing the character with a (feigned?) vulnerability that helps you to understand why Thor and company would fall for his manipulations. The one improvement I would make is with Jane Foster - she falls for Thor much too quickly and we are never quite sure why.

Unlike most other superhero flicks, as the cheap hollywood comedy and action (although shot well) seem secondary to the purpose. I won't doubt that flaws exist, but this does much with the thor character and the Shaksperean sensibilities of Branagh to make a compelling coming-of-age story, as well as some slight Nietzschean parallels to this sort of "god-man".

The editing of some parts, particularly action scenes and character introductions, seems a bit rushed, and could have used a bit more breathing room. Relationships and characters other than Thor don't really develop much. Still, Hemsworth is fantastic, and the humor works surprisingly well. There's definitely room for improvement, now that the awkward concept has been introduced, and I look forward to more adventures.

goof combination of fantasy and sci-fi.. visually great... however the story and the characters are pretty dull and undeveloped (quite natural for stupid Natalie Portman, but all others also...) I wish there were no earth scenes...

Due to "Thor" being extremely bland and not leaving anything of an impression, I don't really have an opinion. Chris Hemsworth was well cast but everything else was average at best (except Kat Dennings who should win a bundle of Razzies).

As mentioned before,3D is pointless,except credits/endings,where creators show their skills(unfortunately cinema operators think that turning lights on after last scene is a must so I couldn't fully enjoy spectacular ending title images).Role play is common and a lot of hollywood-scenes like obligatory kissing are here as well. Even if Portman is a nice chick,I can't say that of her acting(poor as usual).Amateur cosplayers would do better than actors' 'pro' clothing. Pros: Hopkins+nice effec

Points for cool space visuals and Idris Elba. Everything else was meh to ugh. It probably could have used another 1/2 hour just to let events and interactions bake a little longer. Captain America at least had more focus and coherence. The woes of super hero origin story added to those of films that merely serve as a bridge to another.

So it's not Shakespeare, or even remotely coherent for that matter, but Branagh's skills in the characterization department shines through most of the mess - and hey, worth the watch for Hemsworth's beard alone.

Very uneven. Some fun parts but mostly a little all over the place. Little evidence of Branagh having an impact above the studio's needs. Natalie Portman good as per usual.

Great first act but it all falls apart after that. Over-CGI'd and poorly shot.

Good cast, some nice moments of humor, but generally mediocre. Thor is one of the least interesting superheroes. The pathos of the superhero lies in the gap between the ordinary secret identity and the superhero. The tension between Bruce Banner and the Hulk, Bruce Wayne and Batman, Peter Parker and Spiderman, gives these characters dimension. Thor, by contrast, is flat and one dimensional. The filmmakers understand this and try to give him a story, but it's hopeless.

This is the 21st century's Flash Gordon...on crack. Bad crack. Sold to you by Kenneth Branagh, of all people. I could only give so many points for flying hammers.

I just thought this movie was really weak.It's just an another superhero movie.It is typical,predictable,unoriginal.Everything about this movie seemed commercial to me,because it wasn't anything special they tried to make up for its stupidity with a couple of cute actresses and an handsome actor.Sorry but,even Chris Hemsworth's muscular body couldn't save this lame movie.

Nothing special. Was a decompressed story that could have been told in 20 minutes but, with the Avengers movie looming, was made into a full-length movie. In the end, it was a weak movie for an important, but not too complex character.

I have always thought Thor would be the hardest Marvel character to adapt to cinema, but somehow it was much better than most of the Marvel movies. Chris Hemsworth was born to play Thor and the Asgard was interesting visually. Also just like Defoe's Green Goblin, Loki character has a well-thought depth. Warrior 3 part didn't fit well and I would have kept that out, but I think Branagh did a nice job of dramatizing a normally pretty over the top story.

Again, better than I was expecting, but this is definitely the weakest so far. Branagh is just lost in the flashing CGI jumble, and tries pathetically to be heard by tilting the camera a whole bunch, and it's really embarrassing. It has its moments, and once again it wasn't the disaster I was expecting, but I didn't have much fun. The frost giants are absolutely terrible, like third-tier Star Trek villains, especially the makeup.
