Diagonaldi Very well executed

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

shakercoola Thor goes at it hammer and tongs and forges some good spectacle for the viewer. Tom Hiddleston produces a good performance as the weaker of the two sons who claims power unduly when this is taken from the heir to Asgard kingdom. Chris Hemsworth makes a good fist of the role, convincing us of the Thunder God's alpha male traits. The visual effects of the distant realm are pleasingly colourful but a little distracting for their confection - we are expected to use our imagination for such a place but it looks rather computer generated rather than mystical. The fight scenes and sound are tremendous and there is great support and talent on offer, and underused I might add. How the film is held together depends on story and that is where the film disappears down the wormhole, so to speak. It is essentially a bridging of special effects sequences and not much is built in feeling for us to care about, certainly there is not enough feeling between the brothers for us to think Thor cares quite as much about his brother by the end. All the fantastical characters are not interesting. They're defined by their attributes, not their personalities. But, there is enough in the film to spark the imagination for it to be entertaining and quite funny.

shemarnold I enjoyed this when it came out and was interested to see if it stood the test of the me and I'm glad to say it did. If anything I appreciated the humour more which brings a different side to the character of Thor which would lad have been pretty one dimensional otherwise. Very underrated Marvel movie.

brennandube Upon re-watching Thor tonight for the first time in nearly seven years, I was thoroughly entertained. Thor is a well made film and a worthy entry of the God of Thunder into the MCU. Tom Hiddleston does a great job as Loki and Chris Hemsworth is awesome as Thor. This film does have cliche, especially with the love story between Thor and Jane (Natalie Portman). It's sometimes silly but doesn't detract too much. This film does a good job at introducing information to us about the outer realms that will be important in the MCU for years to come. The special effects lack at times and there are some lazy edit jobs during some major action sequences. The charm of Thor and his discovery of what has happened to him after he is sent to earth is really a fun part of this film and it is rather enjoyable to watch. In the end I was quite entertained and I did enjoy Thor. It's a good film and a solid entry into the early days of the MCU.

pokerface14 As far as I was concerned, Thor was one of the less well-received MCU movies. Little did I know, this movie is actually quite enjoyable. Yes, the second one is a different story, but this is a pretty stellar superhero movie. Natalie Portman and Kat Dennings have great chemistry and really make the movie better. Chris Hemsworth isn't my favourite actor but he does do a pretty good job in his role. The real show-stealer, though, is Tom Hiddleston. He is absolutely perfect in his role as Loki and really makes the movie better than it actually is. The humour and action is enough to solidify itself as a good superhero movie without quite reaching Iron Man status. Rating: 7.5/10
