Thor Movie Reviews

Thor clicks because of the comic undertones. The special effects are all there, specially when the film is anchored in extra-terrestrial realms and Thor and his companions battle all kinds of ogres and monsters. The kingdom of Asgard has all the stuff screen mythology is made of: rivers of fire, red-eyed giants, ugly creatures, traitors, tyrants and warriors with saber and steel. Thor, of course has the hammer. But the film perks up when Thor crash-lands

Sometimes we worry the most about our Gods. It's understandable, really. In an increasingly overcrowded superhero landscape, one where detached cynicism and ice-cold noir roots are the order of the day, it was always going to be tough to introduce embittered audiences to a mythological morality saga so old-school it would be spelt olde-school. The call then is for a Bard who deals in timelessness -- or, failing which, a man tremendously besotted

He hammers, he flies and he kicks a lot of butt. The latest Marvel superhero, the hammer-wielding Norse god of thunder, makes for two hours of solid unbridled entertainment. On Asgard, on earth and at a theatre near you.

If it all feels way too bland, blame it on the fact that the movie has neither the snarky wit
