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 Lucía Roitbarg EscribiendoCine Apr 29

...it is the sheer satisfaction of enjoying adventure and fantasy on a grand scale that makes Thor a guaranteed source of entertainment. [Full review in Spanish] 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 Read all reviews

Colton T. @Coltontizzy Apr 30 Was good but nothing special See more Panayiota K @Penny672 Apr 26 I knew it was gonna be bad when i immediately sided with Loki 😆 Thor is such an annoying character. And Jane too, she is in the middle of a huge scientific discovery and she is acting all ditsy when she sees Thor. Darcy stole the show for me, for sure. Also, why are a british dude and and an Australian dude playing norse gods? See more Jacob L. @DerpyIsMLG Apr 2 Reviewed 5/17/2022 I'm seeing a trend here. With these last 3, they're often considered some of Marvel's weakest entries, but I'm really enjoying all of them. Thor is surprising amazing. It's got a few problems, like sind characters being a bit underdeveloped, especially Sif, the Warriors Three, and Laufey, but the characters that are interesting, Thor and Loki, are really good. Kudos to Tom Hiddleston, great job with Loki. There are a few bits of the movie where it drags a little, but for the most part, it's fairly consistent. I even enjoyed most of the "boring" New Mexico stuff. Better than I remembered. See more Bret M. @BretM-3 Mar 28 This movie is great and Thor’s arc is great. Loki is also the best MCU Phase 1 villain. Great movie. See more Mckenzie M @CriticKenz Mar 20 6/10. okay movie could be better. See more Kiandra N @Neruneru Feb 18 This is a very good Thor film and it's a good movie to introduce the character and the Asgard mythology for the first time See more Read all reviews
