Thor (2011)



The powerful but arrogant warrior Thor is cast out of the fantastic realm of Asgard and sent to live amongst humans on Earth, where he soon becomes one of their finest defenders.

Comic adaptation which strives to bring some intelligence to a silly plot, but fails due to a dull cast and lacklustre direction.

Maltin **1/2: "Heavy going in the artificial-looking Norse world, while the tone on Earth is one of cheeky comedy. This lighthearted material is novel and fun, but it undercuts the story's deadly serious intentions. In short, a mixed bag."
