I rented this movie with my friends, seeing as I'm from Iceland and I love animated movies that was a must.

But this movie is terribly disappointing. It's both disappointing to general movie goers looking for a decent movie to watch, and for people that are familiar with the Nordic mythology. The thing that set's this film off is the fact that it bears an striking resembles to the Disney film Hercules.

All the aspects that made Hercules a bad Greek mythology movie are presented here except they are applied to Nordic mythology.

But that doesn't mean that it's a bad movie, what makes it a bad movie is that fact that it's a very bland story that has no weight to it. The animation looks decent enough but they got very, very lazy with making more character models than they had to.

There is a terrible anti climatic fight scene at the end, where the thurs are attacking Valhalla attempting to tear it down, battle of gods! But it's only like 10 thurs and 10 Æsir figthing, which is pathetic to say the least.

and by the way, they got millions in funds that came from tax payers to make this piece of... not so good movie. ahem.

The only good thing about this movie is the sound. The jokes are bad, the slapstick is the worst I have ever seen. Everything in the movie is completely stupid, obviously designed for a baby. But then they have some horrible chauvinist pig humor that most parents would rather not let their children see.

I don't know who wrote or cast this, but they had no idea what they were doing.

I wouldn't want anyone to see this, the acting is bad, the humor is the worst or full of over-used jokes. None of the characters are likable or relatable or interesting. The story is awful, and like every other movie being made based on the same rehashed content.

Do not bother wasting your time or exposing your children to this nonsense.

To my recollection this is THE ONLY 3D-animated feature without ANY color grading. Oh dear… I couldn't even finish it the first time I started watching. I actually brought it into my NLE and graded it so it looked decent! Only then did I watch it. It's dreadful.

It's a shame really… Not only it's the stupidest and most boring of all 3D-features in existence, they couldn't even use Arnold to render hair correctly it's so noisy and thick. As are all glossy surfaces...

And kudos to people responsible for character design. You really need LOTS of talent to create characters THAT terrible. I'm dead serious.

If you're reading this, please, oh please, don't watch it. And if you do, please review it so others wouldn't waste their time and money.

Here is a good-natured and fun animated film about the Norse god Thor, and his inception as a deity after finding the magic hammer Mjølner. Although Thor himself is portrayed as a customary fantasy hero (he has the abilities and courage, but doesn't know it), many other aspects of this Icelandic feature is refreshingly atypical - providing good fun for young and old. Odin, for example, is portrayed as a gormandising, lazy coward, and offers very little help for our young protagonist. The animations are fine, without excelling, and although the narrative may be a little difficult to follow for the younger segment of the audience, there is always something of interest going on along the way.

The whole experience of watching this movie was so bad, the budget was wasted on a bad movie.

The movie costed £8.3M pounds and made $7.6M dollars.

This movie was a huge waste of money and time, it took them like 5 years to make this movie or sum and it wasn't even good.

Good movie yes extremally good. Um I need more characters so. I once went to my local supermarket and tried to buy cheese but sadly they were out of my fav cheese so I went home sad. Then I found this movie somewhere in my closet on a DVD disk. I watched the movie and it really made my day.

1st off loved the humor both myself and my wife laughed out loud A LOT!! Animation was very good not at Pixar's level but very good the 3d was EXCELLENT and the story with its ANIMATED twist on the thor story was creative and well done. The voice talent was as good if not better than Pixar so haha!! We are both seniors and enjoyed this film immensely so glad we purchased the 3d bluray!! BRAVO to the whole cast and crew!!
