Member Movie ReviewsCherie C. (cc72) from COLORADO SPGS, CO Reviewed on 11/4/2013... We are fans of the original Thor comic books. Enjoyed the movie, Chris Hemsworth made a great Thor, loved the costumes and the plot. We've seen it twice now. 1 of 1 member(s) found this review helpful. Daniel W. from LANSING, MI Reviewed on 4/19/2013... Im usually a sucker for superhero movies. These usually have to be pretty bad to get me not to like them. But even after a second watching I have to say I do not like Thor. Where to start. How about on Asgard, Thors home world. Without getting into technicalities, it looks fake. Its almost like they didn't care if it looked good. Its just hard to believe that's the best they could do. How about the Ice Giants? Boring and generic as the enemies of Asgard. How about the cliché ridden plot of the pompous young Thor being stripped of his powers and then having to become "worthy" to get his powers back ( which incidentally produces the only real moment of energy in the movie courtesy of Anthony Hopkins verbal chastisement of Thor as he strips him of said powers), and Loki his brother with a possibly even more overused plotline, the less loved younger brother fueled by jealousy. They give Thor generic carboard cutout friends and a totally unbelievable love interest on Earth courtesy of Natalie Portman. (She falls in love with why exactly? Because he kisses her hand? Oh PLEASE!) The action sequences are boring and the plot is rife with even more clichés than the 2 already listed. On the plus side I do like Chris Hemsworth in the title role. He seems to be the only one to rise above his material. Even Anthony Hopkins, who, other than the scene described above, seems to be in check cashing mode. Without a doubt, the weakest of the Marvel/ Avenger movies.(Well, ok, maybe Iron Man 2 is worse) 1 of 5 member(s) found this review helpful. Lou B. from PALMDALE, CA Reviewed on 11/16/2011... I really enjoyed the movie. If you like super hero movies, then you will like Thor. Lots of actions and good effects. 1 of 1 member(s) found this review helpful.
