Critics Consensus

A dazzling blockbuster that tempers its sweeping scope with wit, humor, and human drama, Thor is mighty Marvel entertainment.

Sight & Sound

Chris Hemsworth makes an imposing, good-humoured Thor... but the motor of the film is Tom Hiddleston's complex, conflicted Loki.

Reel Talk Online

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.

Let's hope Branagh was well-compensated, at least. To quote his favorite author: No profit grows where is no pleasure taken.

Rated: 2/4

Every Movie Has a Lesson

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.

Rated: 4/5

Everything is Horrible (Substack)

Rewatching now, it feels charmingly self-contained and coherent compared to many of its increasingly bloated successors.

Deep Focus Review

Branagh delivers more than anyone likely expected from a Thor comic adaptation, achieving a hugely entertaining success through his obvious understanding of both comic book and Norse mythologies.

Rated: 3/4

Classic superhero movie, but a bit boring in the end, because of the few scenery changes and flat story line.

The first of the Thor movies is merely adequate, and its story is only acceptable. The titular character's relationship with Natalie Portman's Jane Foster is rushed, and the villain's motivation—wanting his father dead only to save him later—makes no sense. However, the godly power on display is impressive, and Loki makes for a standout character.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

I liked it, but not much. I liked the introduction of Thor and Loki, but I feel Loki's development is more interesting than Thor's.
