Thor Ratings & Reviews
- HumptyFebruary 23, 2025Thor will always have a good place in my heart. Chris Hemsworth plays him very well.
- gradientorangeMay 19, 2025one of my favorite marvel movies
- Harish CousalDecember 9, 2025A mythic story told with simple charm. Chris Hemsworth locks in the heroic-but-goofy vibe. Asgard feels like old-world legend meeting modern flare. Surprisingly warm, surprisingly fun
- Eevee SilvaMay 10, 2025Fun origin story, generally a very nice film.
- jackmeatDecember 4, 2025My quick rating - 6.8/10. Ok, slightly behind (I kind of forgot to watch this), but excuses aside, I enjoyed this movie. EDIT: I was even behind on reviews back then LOL. Yes, I am a comic geek, so maybe a tad biased, although admittedly I did not read "Thor," so the rating is on movie merits alone. The movie follows the life of a "G-d" in the form of Thor(Chris Hemsworth), who is the god of thunder. He is raised in Asgard to become the heir to the throne in a pseudo-Greek mythological type world of people with extraordinary powers. When Thor's arrogance to unleash a war upon a race of frost giants that has been ensuing for many years breaks the code of a treaty of peace, Thor is banished from Asgard without his powers and his mighty hammer to the end of the worlds, or as we know it, Earth. Yes, there is a side story to all this, but it is woven between events on Asgard and Earth to tell the hows and whys of the occurrences leading to Thor's punishment. Well, now on Earth, without any power and no sense of what being mortal actually is, which leads to some humorous scenes, he meets his new friends by being hit by a car containing astrophysicist Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) and her associates Professor Selvig (Stellan Skarsgård) and the lovely Darcy Lewis (Kat Dennings). These lucky folks decide that he isn't some wandering drunk and help him on his plight to retrieve his magical hammer. During the relationship with Jane and back in Asgard, Thor's brother, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) is able to seize the throne of king as Odin (Anthony Hopkins) falls ill, but does Loki have some ulterior motives here? The movie moves on with a steady hand of extremely well done character development, which, being helmed by Kenneth Branagh, did not surprise me at all. A master of making you believe in the characters is something no one does much better, and in the unbelievable story material he was given, he scores an A+. The scenes in Asgard look absolutely breathtaking, the scenes in the frost kingdom look so dismal you can almost feel the chill, and Earth, well, that is just New Mexico, nothing exciting (but some very good camerawork helps here). Of course, there is going to be some exciting action sequences to tide you over, but this movie is really about the acting and chemistry of the cast, which is something to appreciate greatly. I only wish they would've given a bit more time to the romance between Thor and Jane (yes, I did just type that). Their love story seemed to be an afterthought swept under the rug to keep the comic book story going. Ultimately, this movie, and Marvel Studios, again bring out a quality picture about a superhero, but doesn't just use eye candy action to wow the viewer, but uses real emotions to draw the audience into the trials and turmoils that occur. IMDB 7.0. Oh, after the credits, there is a bit more info about the SHEILD that unfolds, which is part of the ongoing story of the Avengers. Enjoy.
- NonPlayableContentDecember 31, 2024You got a love movie in my action movie and I cant get the bad taste out of my mouth.
- Film langkerSeptember 7, 2025Good but can be better
- Mister ArnAugust 20, 2025“Thor” (2011) introduces the God of Thunder (Chris Hemsworth), cast out of Asgard and sent to Earth to learn humility. The story is thin and largely predictable, but solid visuals and well-staged action sequences help carry it. If you enjoy comic-based movies, it’s watchable, though more for the spectacle than the substance.
- Dimby +August 4, 2025This movie was BUNS
- D. NortbertMay 12, 2025it's an okay movie at the time when it came out but now is so cringe
- Evan HatchJuly 24, 20256.4/10 While the visuals are often mediocre and the score is lackluster, it makes up for it with its great character growth and decent rewatch value.
- GraphicsMonkeyJuly 19, 2025the acting is very cardboard in most scenes, but kinda have to watch as a foundation for the Avengers Infinity kafuffle
- PhineasJuly 10, 2025A little slow at times and too Shakespearen, but great acting gives this movie a solid origin story.
- DANNYZUKO78June 30, 2025I LIKE HIM IN GHOSTBUSTERS 2016
- rivers_reviewsJune 15, 2025Similar to Captain America: The First Avenger, this movie was a good introduction to Thor and had some good sequences, but was often boring at times. Jane Foster is a fun love interest, though, in my opinion.
