Thor review
This movie was good but not great. It does a great job with introducing Loki and the Asgard scenes are great. I love the way Asgard looks but earth looks cheaply made. Thor is an alright main character but he isn't as cool as like phase 3. Thor and Jane's relationship is good. I thought sif and the warriors 3 were mid. There wasn't the best action like the best action scene was the opening fight all the rest are mid. It was kind of funny but it was more serious. Lokis story was the best part of the movie easily I really liked it. It did a great job setting up avengers which is good. Overall I the it was a high 6 or low 7. - makiefer-87128 - 31 December 2023
'Credible' means 'Stupid'
You need to be careful whether all parts of this production are stupid enough. Did you REALLY pull the lowest drawers ? You are trying to revive norse propaganda here. Chris Hemsworth as Thor is clearly too intelligent and too nice. Not being ironic. Find someone stupider. The plot is very stupid. Thor gets tossed in our modern world, and eventually fights a metal knight 1:1. That part functions. But still not stupid enough: Thor is strong. He isn't saving the world. Ok. It turns out that's not enough. He would have to accidentally destroy our world. Only that would be stupid enough. But the movie doesn't show that. In later Thor instalments, his adopted brother Loki keeps destroying worlds, and that works. Viewers love Loki. That SOUNDS stupid but it's not. Two Thor movies were shot, and it never became clear that Thor should have been an oopsie-accidental annihilator. Just random humour doesn't work, either. Thor isn't stupid enough. As audience, this won't make sense to you. - Dominic_25_ - 25 May 2023
I don't understand what they were going for with this film.
Most of the film is sillyness with little bits of character.
This one was all over the place, and literally took because of the bifrost. But the story is so absurd and Asgard is so confusing. First of all, monarchies are stupid and you'd think a civilization like Asgard would have figured that out. All of the Asgardian characters really just serve as caricatures, not sure what any of them do or think independently of Thor.
Loki really doesn't make any sense with his actions and lying. You just get the general gist that he is the villain.
The only good part of this film is when Thor is on Earth vibing with Jane, Erik, and Darcy. Those scenes are so charming and entertaining at times when they're not being cringe. But when the film has anything else happen it is bad.
The fight scenes are especially silly but that's kinda what happens when invincible beings do battle. Thor being the god of Thunder ranges from corny to pretty bad and a lot of annoying. Also this film is really where the MCU soullessness comes out. The few emotional scenes are undercut with quips that really ruin the tone and are not funny. But the best part is when Thor shatters that glass for no reason.
Why are there so many Dutch angles?
It is kind of amazing that the MCU's first four movies were so uninspiring and yet it spawned a franchise that would take in billions after billions. But this film is squarely in the uninspiring section. - beatriztieppo - 1 September 2022
Thor: The God of Thunder
My father always told me to watch more super heros movies and series. But I always thought that they were boring.
When my dad asked me to watch Thor with him, I excepted, but was really questioning the movie.
It was AMAZING.
The actors did an amazing job, and the costumes were great.
It was also really funny, which I love, and they made scary or serious situations into a funny part with jokes.
Theres drama, because Thor does something really dum and his father banishes him, so the movie is really into family problems, in all of the movies this happens, the relationship between the brother and the other brother and the sons and there father.
I thought it was really good. Go watch it now. You won't regret it. - dollys-89654 - 10 July 2022
A good mix
I think this did a good job of mixing together Norse mythology with a superhero film. It can drag a bit in the middle but I think the charming and talented cast makes those slower moments easier to get through.
