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 Sep 8, 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 Apr 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 Justin Brown Medium Popcorn 6 hrs ago

I thought this movie was fine but it reminded me of a time when the MCU was very formulaic and kind of tame. Go to Full Review Brandon Collins Medium Popcorn 6 hrs ago
3/5
Not my favorite MCU movie but Tom Hiddleston and Natalie Portman are great in this. The second and third acts are a bit slow but this is still a solid superhero film. Go to Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Sep 4, 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 Read all reviews

Until I disobey my father which kinda screws up everything. Stripped of powers, banished to Earth, hilarity ensues. I get arrested by SHIELD. and I fall in love with a Jew. While I'm gone, Loki takes over Asgard. Without my powers, killing this giant cyclops thing is really hard. Through the power of Odin's tear, I get my powers back. And now I have no choice but to counter Loki's attack. By killing him... Kind of... Not really...
