Thor Reviews

We haven’t really posted a hell of a lot of Thor reviews, so with the film opening tomorrow I thought I’d go ahead and put up a batch to get you in the mood…or reset your expectations accordingly.

So we’re going to start with two positive reviews. The two so-so reviews. And finally two pan level reviews.

EW’s Owen Glieberman gave the film an A- rating.

Yet Thor turns its hero’s confusion — about who he is, where he belongs, and why he has these..feelings for Portman’s feisty Jane Foster — into touchingly overscaled coming-of-age kicks. It’s not art, but it’s mighty fun.


– Next up is an 8.5/10 review from Superherohype.

Natalie Portman also delivers a strong performance as Jane Foster. What I like about her is that Jane is a competent, intelligent, driven physicist. Yet when she’s in the presence of Thor, she occasionally loses her composure; she’s flustered and even giggly. Her attraction for Thor throws her for a loop and this normally-composed woman doesn’t know how to react. That makes her more realistic, relatable, and fun.

For once I get to see a Natalie film before most North American visitors to this site. If Thor had opened here after the US, I probably wouldn’t have rushed out to see it as soon as possible. But considering how rare it is for us to get a big film before a domestic release, I had to jump at the chance.

My thoughts will have some minor spoilers but I will stay away from big details and provide warning if I do tread to close to more serious spoilers.
