Plot

Thor (Chris Hemsworth), a powerful but arrogant warrior son of Odin (Anthony Hopkins), prepares to ascend to the throne of Asgard, but is interrupted when Frost Giants attempt to retrieve the Casket.
Against Odin's order, Thor travels to Jotunheim to confront Laufey (Colm Feore), accompanied by his brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston), childhood friend Sif (Jaimie Alexander) and the Warriors Three: Volstagg (Ray Stevenson), Fandral (Joshua Dallas), and Hogun (Tadanobu Asano). A battle ensues until Odin intervenes to save the Asgardians, destroying the fragile truce between the two races.
As a result, Thor is banished to Earth where he is forced to live among humans. When Loki sends its darkest forces to invade Earth, Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero.

Opinion

Thor is good adaptation of Marvel's comic book. There is lack of depth in some characters, especially in Loki, but the story is good and there is no lack of action.
The contrast between right and wrong is the main theme of the film, even though in the heart of the characters there is always a glimmer of goodness.
The special effects are well used; the photography is wonderful.
Chris Hemsworth gives Thor everything he needs and Tom Hiddleston as his villainous brother, Loki, shows off his acting ability.
