Chris Hemsworth makes an imposing, good-humoured Thor... but the motor of the film is Tom Hiddleston's complex, conflicted Loki. Go to Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online 09/08/2017

Witty, charming and very current, the big screen adaptation of Thor is sure to catapult its star Chris Hemsworth (whose wife, Elsa Pataky, ironically stars in Fast Five) to leading man status. Go to Full Review Rafer Guzman Newsday 04/12/2013

Let's hope Branagh was well-compensated, at least. To quote his favorite author: No profit grows where is no pleasure taken. Go to Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson 09/04/2023
4/5
It's a grand, epic, and galaxy-bending display of gods among men. Never before has a superhero movie been so, well, super in its scope and size, yet still leaving room for a little dose of humanity. Go to Full Review Noah Berlatsky Everything is Horrible (Substack) 08/05/2023
Rewatching now, it feels charmingly self-contained and coherent compared to many of its increasingly bloated successors. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 06/07/2023
3/4
Branagh delivers more than anyone likely expected from a Thor comic adaptation, achieving a hugely entertaining success through his obvious understanding of both comic book and Norse mythologies. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Garry A @heavyg Dec 29 It's funny. Neither Thor or the Hulk we're at the top of my list to rewatch. They are both better than I remembered. This was a nice mix of humor, drama, and action. See more Bob J @GametimeD Dec 19 solid origin story but just ok at the end of the day See more Andrew B @ABdestroyer233 Dec 16 Solid start to Thor and an enjoyable movie but I have seen better. See more J E @jjclassic Dec 15 good that's why i give it thor and halve 😂😆🤣 See more Genesis G @genesis_56 Dec 9 I thought it was pretty good. I liked how, in the beginning, it made you think Thor was going to be a villain but turned out to be the good guy. The story from beginning to end was entertaining and good.
