Two worlds. One hero.
The warrior Thor (Hemsworth) is cast out of the fantastic realm of Asgard by his father Odin (Hopkins) for his arrogance and sent to Earth to live among humans. Falling in love with scientist Jane Foster (Portman) teaches Thor much-needed lessons, and his new-found strength comes into play as a villain from his homeland sends dark forces toward Earth.
Critic Reviews:
- Thor is on much safer ground here on Earth. The tone is immediately different: more relaxed; comic, not cosmic. – CNN.com
- A surprisingly adept mixture of comic book goofiness and epic mythos, filled with bright colors and beautiful production design. – The Dispatch
- Thor introduces an entirely new realm of mythology to the Marvel Cinematic Universe by way of the wondrous beauty that is Asgard. – Solzy at the Movies
