Rating: 4/5
Review: Great acting from the cast and cool special effects! I was sad for Loki when he let go of the rope, seeing his father was not pleased. Watching the movie was a Thor-oughly enjoyable ride =)

Reviews

"Delivers pretty much everything you could want from a Thor movie, thanks to a superb script, note-perfect direction from Kenneth Branagh, a terrific supporting cast and a charismatic, star-making central performance from Chris Hemsworth." - Matthew Turner, ViewLondon

"Branagh makes the most of CGI's potential to create glimmering surfaces and vast landscapes and, for once, the 3D is a bonus." - Leo Robson, Financial Times

"It wants to impress with dazzling special effects rather than through an emotive, captivating story." Matthew Toomey, ABC Radio Brisbane

"A triumph! I can't wait for Thor to meet Tony Stark. Avengers assemble!" - Jens S

"While Thor may not be a thundering triumph, it's decent enough fun to make you hope that lightning strikes twice and we get a sequel." - Dave Golder, SFX Magazine

"Thor-roughly good fun." - James Smith, Little White Lies

"The most problematic hurdle in The Avengers' path is cleared with ease and some style by a film that makes a virtue of its inherent silliness. You're up, Captain America." - Nell Smith, Total Film
