Thor

« Reste qu'il s'agit pour l'essentiel d'un divertissement musclé et spectaculaire - notamment en ce qui a trait aux ravages causés par le marteau de Thor -, qui s'avère un peu longuet toutefois. »

« Comme Christopher Nolan, Bryan Singer et Ang Lee avant lui, Kenneth Branagh insuffle sa marque de commerce et son style qui lui est propre, autant au niveau des thèmes que de la réalisation presque décalée et hors cadre qui paye un hommage sincère à Brian de Palma. »

« Thor est donc plus original qu’il ne le paraissait à l’origine. Plus raffiné, plus peaufiné par ses personnages hautement sympathiques, il répond à la complexification du genre par une simplification au possible des enjeux. »

« There's never a dull moment in Thor, the first of Marvel's movies to be based on a superhero character almost no one outside of their comic reading faithful cares about. »

« The long list of things in Thor that work better than you might expect has to start with Chris Hemsworth, the Australian hunk of beef who nails both Thor's princely self-regard and good heart even when the writing isn't there to back him up. »

« My only problem with Thor was, once again, sub-par 3D. Obviously, this is another post-conversion job, and the 3D effects are lame. Worse, many of the nighttime scenes have not been color-graded for 3D, making them tough to decipher. This is one film where audiences would be well advised to opt for 2D if available. »

« Chris Hemsworth gives a breakout performance as fallen Norse god Thor in Marvel's summer blockbuster, which co-stars Natalie Portman and Anthony Hopkins. »

« Under Kenneth Branagh's direction, Thor has eye-popping special effects, strong performances and, perhaps most notably, 3-D technology put to good use. »

« Thor cleverly has it both ways, heft and heart, only occasionally tripping on the speed bumps in the script by Ashley Edward Miller, Zack Stentz and Don Payne. »

« The thing is, though, that the kind-of-O.K. aspects of Thor have the effect of making it more depressing, rather than less. The movie cannot be an interesting, appalling train wreck because it lacks the spoiled grandeur of ambition gone off the rails. »
