The world has many heroes... but only one is a god. When the arrogant warrior Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is banished to Earth from his home world of Asgard, he must fight to reclaim his lost powers. Pursued by an invasion force sent to destroy him, the fallen God of Thunder must rise to the battle and learn what it takes to become a true hero. Natalie Portman and Anthony Hopkins also star in this blockbuster adventure critics have called a rousing, entertaining thrill -- now in stunning 4K Ultra HD. Review: Norse gods, comic book characters, action and romance - There is no need to rehash what the movie is about since so many have done a great job in retelling the storyline. There are always naysayers who have to pick apart perfectly good movies. I am not a fan of comic books nor have I ever read one of them. I am a fan of mythology and especially Norse so I found the movie very entertaining. The acting was excellent and believable. Chris Hemsworth made the film. He was perfectly cast in my opinion. The actor who played Loki was excellent as well. Each of the actors actually did a great job. Nothing can be taken and adapted and be exactly like the source. The motion picture is a unique medium in its own right. I felt all the special effects were awesome. I liked the way they flashed back to see why Thor fell to Earth. It was a good touch. I caught the in jokes in the movie and it wasn't from reading comic books. I have probably watched this movie six times now and it is one of the best superhero movies I have ever seen. I have seen many and series with them as well since I am an older woman. I found it a breath of fresh air that the movie was more than a lot of fast action sequences and battles, yet you do get your fill. It made the story more plausible that even though some of the characters were referred to as gods and had super powers,the characters and their actions felt realistic and that they had feelings and emotions beyond "look at me and kneel to me," which was how Thor first acted with his arrogance when he arrived on Earth. In the end, he learned humility and self-sacrifice, which was predictable but would have caused the movie to fall flat without it. The theme itself is nothing new but there isn't much new to put in films, so that leaves the way it is presented and the actor portraying the part. They raised him above a mere brute with powers to a god who gains insight into what it means to care about others without expecting anything in return. The romance issue was very subtle and well portrayed. I thought it was excellent and I have pre-ordered the movie and can hardly wait until the sequel comes out and yes, there is going to be a sequel because despite what some said they are making a Thor 2 because this movie was very successful. It is a good, solid, fun, fantasy movie. Review: Awesome Adventure movie - This movie was very, very good from start to finish. If you love comic book adventures, then Thor has a good but different look into the life of a superhero movie. It is more of an introductory story rather than an origin since our main protaganist was born to be a super hero, not some accident-gone-wrong mutation like a lot of the others, which works for them, but not for Thor. Thor (played by Chris Hemsworth) is an Asgardian, who are beings from another dimension who are far superior in strength and power compared to people living on Earth. The family drama between Odin (Anthony Hopkins) and his two sons, Thor and Loki(Tom Hiddleston), plays out wonderfully and is essentially the main driving plot in this movie. Thor is a proud and arrogant warrior prince who is destined to be the King of Asgard whenever his father, Odin, thinks he is worthy of that title. Soon into the movie Thor disobeys an important request from his father that ultimately jeapordizes the peaceful times on Asgard by assaulting the Asgardians ancient enemies, the Frost Giants of Jotenheim. Odin is outraged at his eldest son and quickly strips him of his "godly" powers and banishes him to Earth until a time that he learns the error of his actions. Upon Earth, Thor quickly meets a group of scientists led by Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) who, through some mis-adventures, end up helping Thor to find his purpose behind his banishment. Meanwhile, back on Asgard, King Odin is falling into a coma, a rest he needs to replensh his awesome powers from time to time called the "Odinsleep" and cannot continue commanding Asgard, so Thors brother Loki assumes command in his place. But is all good with Loki? He seems to have a mysterious past, and now his motives are a little unclear as to why he wants to rule Asgard. Back on Earth, Thor must quickly learn his lesson in humility and get back to Asgard and set the things he messed up straight. Overall, this movie was very well acted. Director Kenneth Branagh deserves many kudos for getting good performances from his lead actors. Many have said that Tom Hiddleston steals the show with his portrayal of the jealous brother, Loki. And he readily does! The set designs in this movie were top notch- the interiors of Odins Throne room, Heimdalls observatory and parts of the frost giants homeworld were all stage built and they looked wonderful. The small town in New Mexico for the Earth scenes was built as well, but maybe this you can tell as it kind of looks simplistic, but it was still more than serviceable for the movies sake. And I'm kind of tired of people saying Thor and Janes "Romance" was to short to be believable. First of all, who ever said it was a full-blown romance gone full circle? I never once heard either character proclaim their love for one another. This was just Thor and Janes introduction to each other. They developed a crush for each other, and the filmmakers are waiting for the sequels to flesh it out even more. Have some patience people, this will pay off down the road. Buy or rent this movie and enjoy a great adventure with good action, you won't be disappointed! 4.5/5 (rounded up to 5/5)

Awesome Adventure movie
This movie was very, very good from start to finish. If you love comic book adventures, then Thor has a good but different look into the life of a superhero movie.

Yeah,a pretty damn good film.Chris Hemsworth really does the part justice.I couldn't believe his physique ! The scene where he falls to earth and tries to retrieve his hammer is very impressive.This film seems well researched and follows the Myth closely but with a modern interpretation. Anthony Hopkins does a brilliant job of being a powerful God of a Father.The arrogance of the early Thor is good to see,especially when he uses his hammer to propell him right throught and out the back of a giant creature's throat.I was cheering him on ! The FX were very good and definitely heightened my enjoyment of the film.The involvement of Shield was unexpected too but nicely done with great humour.At the end of the credits there is an intriguing twist regarding the Professor.The sound the hammer makes when bashing opponents is very erm,striking... Almost 2 hours of good fantasy entertainment,I wanted more of course.

Comicverfilmungen erfreuen sich seit einiger Zeit größter Beliebtheit, und das zu recht. Denn entgegen vieler älterer Filme, die jedenfalls zum Teil ziemlich schauerlich waren, wissen die Streifen der Moderne durchaus zu überzeugen. Filme wie Spider-Man, 300, Fantastic Four, X-Men, Hulk, Iron Man, Batman und Watchmen bedienen sich modernster Technik, sehr guter Schauspieler und ebenso guten Regisseuren und setzen Fans allerorten in Verzückung. Im Falle von Thor geben u. a. gleich zwei wahrlich prominente Namen ihr Stelldichein: Kenneth Branagh als Regisseur, seines Zeichens bekannter Shakespeare-Liebhaber und Schöpfer zahlreicher Verfilmungen seiner Werke, und dann noch J. Michael Straczynski als Drehbuchautor (dem Erfinder der Space-Saga Babylon 5). Und auch als Schauspieler konnten einige alte und neue Größen verpflichtet werden. Chris Hemsworth als Thor ist bis dato nicht sonderlich in Erscheinung getreten, der blonde Hüne aus Australien (mit 1,91 m Körpergröße) sieht aber wie der perfekte Nordmann aus und stellt die Figur sehr überzeugend dar. Natalie Portman hat bereits in jungen Jahren an der Seite von Jean Reno in Léon (von Luc Besson) gezeigt, was sie kann und konnte auch hernach in bedeutenden Produktionen mitwirken (Heat, Mars Attacks, Star Wars, V wie Vendetta - und nicht zuletzt in Black Swan, für den sie den Oscar gewann). Anthony Hopkins stellt Odin dar, den König der Götter; Jamie Alexander (am ehesten bekannt durch die Serie Kyle XY) spielt die Kriegerin Sef; Ray Stevenson (bekannt aus Bulletproof Gangster) stellt Vostagg dar. Nebenrollen bekleiden noch Rene Russo (Lethal Weapon) und Samuel L. Jackson, der wieder Nick Fury aus Iron Man mimt. Die Geschichte ist im Grunde schnell erzählt: Thor, Erstgeborener Odins, soll König werden. Er ist aber aufbrausend, eitel, vorlaut, narzisstisch, unreif und nicht wirklich ehrbar. So kommt es, daß er durch einen nicht autorisierten Überfall auf die Welt Jötunheim (wo die Eisriesen ihre Heimat haben) bei Odin in Ungnade fällt und in der Folge seiner Kräfte beraubt und auf die Erde verbannt wird. Dort ist er, trotz seiner Einschränkung, nun ein Mensch zu sein, noch immer sehr von sich überzeugt; zumindest so lange, bis er tatsächlich der Tatsache gewahr wird, keinerlei Macht mehr zu besitzen (denn er kann seinen Hammer nicht mehr führen). Lug und Trug durch seinen Bruder Loki führen letztlich dazu, daß Thor seine Taten bereut und sein Wesen ändert - sehr zum Gefallen seines Vaters, der ihm seine Kräfte wiedergibt, damit Thor die neu gewonnen Freunde unter dem Menschen vor Loki retten kann. Dabei verliebt er sich noch, rettet seine Heimatwelt Asgard und ist fürderhin der Stolz seiner Rasse. So weit so gut. Hört sich alles leicht plakativ an und das ist es auch. Dies ist aber keinesfalls störend, denn die einfach Formel funktioniert schließlich nicht zum ersten Mal - das einzige, was man dem Film ein wenig anmerkt ist, daß er im Grunde nur eine Vorbereitung auf das eigentlich Abenteuer der Avengers ist. Und hier kommen wir zu einem Knackpunkt der letzten Comicverfilmungen. Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America und nun auch Thor sind für sich genommen bereits gute, sehr gute oder großartige Filme - aber allesamt sind eigentlich nur die Einleitungen zum kommenden Avenger-Film, indem sich dann alle gemeinsam gegen das Böse stemmen. Eines der Features auf der Blu-ray ist dann auch sehr sehenswert: es werden noch einmal die Schlußszenen aus Hulk (Tony Stark trifft sich mit dem General), Iron Man 2 (Thors Hammer wird gefunden) und weitere wiederholt, um dann umzuschwenken auf eine Szene auf der ComicCon 2010, auf der der kommende Avenger-Film offiziell bekannt gegeben wurde und alle Schauspieler ihren Auftritt hatten. Begeisternd! Thor ansich besticht durch eine herausragende Bildqualität und phantastische Kulissen - lediglich der Ton ist ab und zu ein wenig konfus abgemischt (Umgebung lauter als Stimmen), was aber nicht wirklich stört. Freilich ist die Portman mit solch einer Rolle deutlich unterfordert, sie verleiht dem Film aber gleichermaßen das gewisse Etwas, wenn sie mit ihrer entzückenden Art der Rolle den nötigen Feinschliff verpaßt. Anthony Hopkins braucht eigentlich kaum etwas zu machen, der Mann wirkt alleine durch seine Präsenz. Der Rest spielt sehr solide. Mag man die (vorhersehbare) Handlung vielleicht ein wenig kritisieren, so muß man aber auch zugeben, daß das Action-Spektakel als unterhaltsamer Film alles richtig macht. Die bildgewaltige Verquickung von Action- und Mythikfilm gelingt sehr gut; und letztlich lebt der Streifen von der Erwartung, mehr über SHIELD und den Weg hin zu den Avengers zu erfahren. Die Story verblaßt aber durchaus etwas hinter der gleißenden Inszenierung (vor allem Asgards); jedoch bleibt das Tempo hoch und Längen fehlen völlig. Am Ende wurde man hervorragend unterhalten mit außerordentlichen Bildeindrücken, guten Schauspielern, ein paar netten Bonuszugaben auf der BD und dem gewissen Etwas, das in der unbedingten Erwartung manifestiert, endlich den Vereinigungsfilm Avengers sehen zu wollen. Nun, 2012 ist es dann soweit. Bis dahin können wir uns noch ein paar Male Hulk, Iron Man, Thor und Captain America ansehen, um uns einzustimmen. Fazit: kaufen!
