From someone barely familiar with Thor...

Rating: 9/10 (17 May 2011)

The sum total of my knowledge about Thor came from reading the backs of Marvel cards in the early to mid-90's. His bio said he was really powerful and had an awesome hammer, and that was about all I remembered. So going into the movie I was just looking for good special FX and a decent enough story not to aggravate me, ala Transformers 2.
As it turns out Thor was pretty good. I'd say the reviews that equate it to being about on par with The Incredible Hulk are almost accurate - they're missing a big part of Thor's final score when they tally it. Ready...
Thor is an unfamiliar, untested, and in most cases brand new character in the pantheon of Marvel movies - and yet, it is pretty freaking enjoyable. Believable acting. Strong story. God action and FX. And don't forget that Thor's box office performance so far, while not stellar seems appears better than such an unknown pseudo-newbie would merit. It did better in it's 2nd weekend than either The Incredible Hulk or X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
So jump don't be the last loser on on your block to try Thor, everybody else's doing it. Come on, just on try. How could a billion Chinese people be wrong?
