    • Overview

    Against his father Odin's will, The Mighty Thor - a powerful but arrogant warrior god - recklessly reignites an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans as punishment. Once here, Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.

Roger Ebert

"Thor" is failure as a movie, but a success as marketing, an illustration of the ancient carnival tactic of telling the rubes anything to get them into the tent.

The New York Times

The movie cannot be an interesting, appalling train wreck because it lacks the spoiled grandeur of ambition gone off the rails.

The Guardian

This Thor can be entirely ridiculous sometimes, and the world of Asgard does look sometimes like the digital universe of Tron, in the recent dodgy update.

Variety

This Is Film

Thor managed to ground its fantastical material with wit, humour and plenty of drama that so easily could have become farcical and parodic.

IMDb

A throw-off piece of Marvel fiction... surprisingly moved by the family dynamics and the visual grandeur of Asgard.

IMDb

True to its origins, 'Thor' is nothing less than superhero entertainment, and a definitive A-list one -despite the initial regard of its source character- that kicks off this summer with a bang, boom and rumble.

Common Sense Media

Thor is a different kind of good, the kind that leaves you smiling even after the credits have ended.
