Thor (2011)
Contemptuous but powerful god Thor has been expelled from Asgard to live in Midgard among the humans. He falls in love with Jane Foster, the scientist who teaches him more important lessons, which also leads him to operate his newly obtained strength and fight the dark forces that had been sent on Earth by the homeland rascal.

Thor is terrific fun! It's aware of its own silliness but made with complete integrity and heart. The film is also beautifully designed and very well performed. A great summer blockbuster!

A giant notch up is Hiddleston, who'd make a good Edmund in King Lear: You register the chip on his shoulder rather than the villainy.

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

Thor is a really good popcorn flick -- just a little too bloated in places to hit the mark as well as it could have.

There is pleasure to be plundered from some of the battle scenes, especially when Thor is confronting ice monsters with blood-red eyes, and from the culture clash that resounds when he descends to present-day Earth...

The mildly amusing midsection plays like a Viking take on Crocodile Dundee.

This is eminently missable, though the mosaic design of Asgard, Thor's mythical realm, is pretty cool.

Strikes a mighty blow to the summer blockbuster season and will charge up audiences just like the first 'Iron Man.'

The story might perhaps be adequate for an animated film for children, with Thor, Odin and the others played by piglets. In the arena of movies about comic book superheroes, it is a desolate vastation.

Drab, bloated and stuck together with special effects that look like high-end Microsoft screensavers.

[The] result isn't as much fun as the Iron Man movies, but it's better than The Incredible Hulk and a worthy entry in the fast-growing Avengers series.

Thor is on much safer ground here on Earth. The tone is immediately different: more relaxed; comic, not cosmic.
