Almighty Thor (2011 TV Movie)
1/10
Horrible. Movie is good for a laugh

I saw this on TV and figured I see how it compared to the other Thor movies (Marvels and the Zachary Ty Bryan one). It was absolutely terrible. I am surprised and shocked that Syfy made this film. It is as if the writer had no knowledge of Thor or Norse history.

The CGI effects are cartoony and laughable.

The fights are poorly choreographed and slow as if they are were filmed while the actors trained. And why on Earth does Thor get a pistol? Most of the times you can catch glimpses of the actors modern attire underneath costumes that looked as though they were made by a community theatre.

As for the actors, Thor (Cody) portrays Thor as a dimwitted nerd who lacks intelligence, strength, and coordination. His physique is nice but its difficult to see underneath the hideous cape and overcoat. As for Jarnsexca (Patricia), I didn't understand why she had powers or what exact position she had that allows her to travel through portals. She just does not possess a strong female heroine presence. And Loki (Richard) just seemed like a goth punk. Where were the tricks and comedy that he is known for? Odin (Kevin Nash) is an amazing fighter but for his scenes, you can clearly tell he had to slow down so Loki could match him.

The plot is well, really there is none. The movie just bounces from scene to scene. First we want to find the Hammer or hunt for some Tree or kill Loki. There really was no chronological order.

Do not spend your time watching this film. You are better off reading a book.
