I loved the movie.Natalie Portman looks great.Chris Hemworth is a perfect Thor.The story is great though being a superhero movie Thor is shown as a normal human being in almost 60% of the movie.Tom Hiddleston as Loki steals the show and the biggest asset of the movie.

In reply to Rodney. If they were going to do an alter ego, I think they would go the Sigurd Jarlson route to poke fun at Superman.

I liked the movie, but hated the costume design.
I’d have put some dents, some scratches, some CHARACTER in his armor, and made it look like there was a really STORY behind his many years of existence. He looks like he just walked out of the makeup with a brand new costume. Reminds me of George Lucas’ approach to costume, as opposed to say Peter Jackson. Thor needed to be somewhere in the middle.

Saw it a second time last night, this time in regular 3D; first viewing was in 2D. I loved the movied even more the second time around, but I think that’s only because I was able to pick up on some of the movie’s subtleties better the second time around. Rodney hit the nail on the head when he used the word “balanced” to describe the pacing and arrangement of humor and action throughout this film. I hope the studios give Brannagh a shot at directing the sequel, because he and the team he assembled did a masterful job.

In reply to God of Thunder. Isn't that true of all Marvel super heroes? I thought DC heroes were the larger and life characters, and Marvel superheroes were still big (hulk) and tough, but just not out right that powerful.

The movie was not bad but it was not great either. For a supposedly all powerful God-like Hero, Thor doesn’t feel nor look that powerful in the movie.

I loved the movie so much that I plan on going to see it again sometime this week.

its definatly one of the much better marvel films and cant wait to see him in the avengers and thor 2.

and it was funny to see the punisher in the film as one of thors asgardian warriors.

Thanks for the nice movie review! I liked that presented both good and bad sides of your experience. I was planning to watch the movie in IMAX 3D, but now thinking maybe regular 2D will suffice.

Thor was amazing. I’m annoyed with people who are listing it as just a good movie. It is one of the better comic book movies ever made. Especially when we’re talking about the X-men series and Spidermans.

Anyone on the fence about going: Just go and see it!

I think it was a great movie but I would give it a 7 or 8 out of 10. I don’t think it was on par with Iron Man or even Spiderman (minus the third). Hemsworth is the perfect actor to portray Thor and I love the fact that they honored some key elements of Thor such as his ability to use Mjolnir to fly and even paying homage to Donald Blake. Natalie Portman was great too, although I would say casting her adds to any movie, absolutely love her.

The bad I would focus on here would be the extended time in Asgard and lack of action on Earth. Time in Asgard is needed for a backstory for Thor but I wish the majority of action would have taken place on Earth and not in another realm. It may be only my opinion but I like Thor as a member of the Avengers fighting for Earth rather than fighting creatures on foreign grounds. I know it’s hard to not incorporate a CGI homeworld for a movie about a God but I preferred the casual dialog on Earth to some of the action sequences in Asgard.

I’d say 8 out of 10, bumping it to an 8 because of how much I loved the casting of Chris Hemsworth.

Honestly though, I wish Beta Ray Bill will show up in a future Thor sequel.
