Solid, though not without its flaws. The sudden kiss before the climax seems redundant with the relationship the characters already had, the government agents' motives are never explained, and the Jotunheim scenes are far too dark. That said, the pace is quick, the actors are excellent, the humor is actually funny and it has an honestly different feel from most superhero movies.

Is this a parody?

Well, i am very disappointed with the CG scenes, all very unreal to me.

Well-directed with a solid cast making the most out of a lousy script. Some enjoyment to be had if you don't take it too seriously. It's almost like a reversal of the 1980s Flash Gordon movie, with someone from Ming's world being stranded on Earth. When viewed with that same campy sensibility it becomes more watchable.

This is about as bad as you can think of.

Worth a watch.

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. Usually, Thor is not the most sympathetic character, but this film did a great job at the fantasy elements, but also making Thor more accessible to us mere mortals.

This is a refreshing super hero movie because it is different than a lot of the other ones. Chris Hensworth works well in the lead role and the supporting cast is also good. I did not know much about the character Thor before I watched this movie and I was pleasantly surprised.

This is a very good movie,it,s a fine line between story and the fighting and I digg the Ice giant pepole a lot.On the day of his coronation as King of the realm of Asgard, Thor's (Hemsworth) ascension to the throne is interrupted by the Frost Giants of Jotunheim breaking into Odin's Vault to steal the Casket of Ancient Winters, a weapon so powerful it could bring an endless winter to the Nine Realms. Seeing this as an act of war, Thor challenges his father Odin (Hopkins) to invade Jotunheim and

It's a well-rounded summer superhero movie that definitely holds its own against the other Marvel Studios output of recent years. Everyone involved puts forward an impressive performance, and the blend of magic and 'real world' science is as skillfully done as the blend of action and humour -- never pushed too far as to be obvious, but still enjoyable through and through.

I did like this film but it felt a little all-over-the-place and quite cheesy. I understand that a certain amount of cheese is necessary in comic book films, and they did really try to walk the line between being silly and fun while also making sure the audience cares about the characters. I liked when the film poked fun at itself though, as there were some pretty funny moments; putting Thor and his companions in a modern day setting achieved some humourous results. I liked Chris Hemsworth.

come on... a)Thor was physically pretty weak for a supposed god. also, if you can be taken down merely by medication, you're - by definition - not a god. b)how did Loki just silently crown himself without the other ones noticing? c)boring costumes, boring cgi, basically everything looked like soundstage, had some funny moments at the beginning, even with kat dennings. still, it's impossible to take this movie seriously. and Hopkins was kind of miscast in this one...

4+ worth experiencing

It was sluggish. Everything on Earth seems unimportant and everything in Asgard seems kind of boring without a controller.

A simple story told with excellent production design, solid acting and well integrated humor. It's a little slow to start though with a narrative heavy set up (which they tried to spice up with a few flash forwards and flash backs; didn't help much) and fails to explain how Thor made it into Norse mythology when he was only a child at the time... Overall an improvement for Marvel and highly recommended as a rental. Not looking forward to a sequel though. [Rifftrax is good but not great.]

The main success of this movie lies in Hemsworth who was absolutely born to play Thor and while this doesn't do much to elevate itself above the position of an average action film I still rank it as one my personal favorite marvel films. I guess the reason these films have been doing well is the interesting characters, and Thor is my favorite so far. The Shakespearean language is also very fitting and there are a few nice settings, plus a brilliant introduction for Hawkeye.

This particular comic book movie could have been so much more.
