Rating: 8/10 (27 April 2019)

Thor is about the god of thunder trying to get back to Asgard after being banished to earth for starting a war. In the movie, his brother Loki tries to take the throne os Asgard and to destroy his brother and a species of ice monsters.
This fun, adventurous, visually appealing and surprisingly deep film is perfect for kids and adults alike. The advantage of this movie is its cast. Chris Hemsworth is great as Thor, and the legendary Anthony Hopkins is notably good at playing the Allfather Odin, Thor's father. Also another advantage is the story and the messages that it offered. When Thor becomes the king, his behavior in this period is not wise and boyish and because of that his father sends him to our land. However, in the end he realizes that to be king he must be wise and prevent war. He learns his lesson by almost getting killed to protect the ones he loves. This message can have a strong impact on the viewer's mind and we can learn a lot. The disadvantage is its love story. The romance falls short and far too rushed with Natalie Portman's Jane Foster character. However, because it is an action and it is more about the battles and saving the world, it can be forgiven.
All in all, an action-packed adventure with amazing special effects and some romance makes this a good family movie.
