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

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

Genesis G @genesis_56 4d 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. See more Zach B @ZachBasham67 6d Extremely underrated See more EleckVick 7. @Vick775 Nov 12 I thought this movie has a very good story and it’s great at showing Loki’s complex character. Sure there is things that may seem rushed like Thor’s sudden change of perspective. But I believe the film is funny and full information that helps the avengers movie hit at the level that it does. See more alex S. @isualum12 Nov 10 We were watching hallmark tv and switched to this and the acting got worse. Straight horrible movie, storyline and capped off with some of the worst acting of all time. See more Jace T @CineChamber Nov 8 Thor is a fine film. It is definitely not the best film in the MCU, and also not the worst. Thor, played by Chris Hemsworth, is a really fun character that is really likeable and charismatic, even though is pretty dense and dumb in the beginning. The pantagonists in this film are all fine. Loki the kind of the main antagonist, but so is Laufey, leader of the frost giants. There is also Destroyer, who Thor has his toughest battle with. The love story between Thor is Jane leaves much to want for, and their chemistry doesn't feel that great. This film is fun though, and worth a watch. See more John F Nov 4 It's a little boring at times, but when it gets going, it's great. See more Read all reviews
