A mythical Marvel journey
"Thor," directed by Kenneth Branagh, is a visually stunning entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that brings the Norse god of thunder to the big screen. Starring Chris Hemsworth as the titular hero, the film blends elements of mythology, action, and a touch of romance.
Hemsworth delivers a charismatic performance as Thor, capturing both his arrogance and his eventual humility. The film's supporting cast, including Natalie Portman as the curious scientist Jane Foster and Tom Hiddleston as the enigmatic Loki, adds depth to the story with their strong performances.
The film excels in its depiction of Asgard, with breathtaking visuals and impressive special effects that bring the mythical realm to life. However, the narrative feels somewhat uneven, shifting from the grandeur of Asgard to the more mundane setting of a small town on Earth, which can sometimes disrupt the film's pacing.
Overall, "Thor" is an entertaining introduction to the character, offering a mix of humor, action, and mythology. While it may not reach the heights of other Marvel films, it sets the stage for Thor's evolution in the MCU. - yashmehendale - 2 March 2024
Most underrated MCU movie
Thor (2011) is fantastic. I love the score, it feels so beautiful and the cinematography (aside from the unnecessary Dutch angles) is so awesome. Hemsworth did a brilliant job portraying Thor in this wonderful movie. Loki was an amazing villain and Odin got to shine as well. It's a close second when it comes to best Thor movie in my opinion (first is Ragnarok because it doesn't have the unnecessary Dutch angles). The destroyer could have been better, but didn't do much of a problem. RIP Ray Stevenson, he was also an amazing actor.
I would have given this a 10/10, but I'm giving it an 8 because of the unnecessary Dutch angles. Still, wonderful movie and the score fits the Shakespearean characterization of Thor perfectly.
