Thor reviews

While Chris Hemsworth is the buff poster child, it is Tom Hiddleston's subtle and entertaining portrayal of Loki which makes this movie. Loki's large role in the Avengers makes this movie worth watching. And then rewind and watch all the Loki bits again.

Consistently acted to a level beyond what I expected, this movie lays a lot of the ground work for The Avengers while still pulling off a story of its own.
The romance felt a little contrived to me, but doesn't take over the whole movie so is easy to ignore.

I'd never really been much of a fan of Thor so I only watched the film initially because I was on a 12 hour flight – that and the fact that Thor returns in the much anticipated Avengers Assemble film. So I had quite low expectations, and these were easily exceeded. It's an interesting plot and well directed; I'm not really sure I buy into Natalie Portman's character but that's hardly unusual. Certainly worth a look, even if only to lay the foundations for the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe series.

Another great addition to the marvel franchise

A great expansion to the marvel franchise

Thor – great movie. Reminds me of the hero cartoons I used to watch as a child. Action and a plot – a good combination.

My grandson thought was brilliant
