Thor
Against his father Odin's will, The Mighty Thor - a powerful but arrogant warrior god - recklessly reignites an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans as punishment. Once here, Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.
Critics Sentiment
Thor sacrifices himself and regains Mjolnir and his powers
Agent Coulson secures Thor's hammer and Jane's research
The film drops significantly when Thor lands on Earth and focuses on human characters, then soars back up during the Destroyer battle sequence.
Thor succeeds as an entertaining superhero origin story that brings Shakespearean gravitas to Marvel's cosmic mythology. While the Asgardian sequences and family drama receive widespread praise for their epic scope and strong performances, the Earth-bound middle section drags with underwritten human characters. The film recovers strongly in its final act with spectacular action and Thor's satisfying character transformation.
