Thor: 4/10
Positives:
- Decent performances by Hemsworth, Hiddleston, and Hopkins. Rest of the cast is mediocre
- Some cool fight scenes
- Competently shot with decent visual effects
- A couple of funny jokes
Negatives:
- Dialogue sucks. Its either a bunch of expository details about how character personalities or is just generic
- No chemistry between the 2 leads
- Overall movie just feels pointless. Thor has a character arc but the plot is so mundane and insignificant
- Loki is nowhere near as entertaining as he was in the Avengers. His character doesn't even make sense in this movie. He causes his father to go into a coma and takes his throne in the hopes of keeping it forever. Its established early on he feels betrayed by Odin for not telling him the truth. It turns out he just put on some stupid ruse in order to make his father (who he previously hated) proud.
This is one of the most superficial movies I've ever seen. It works well technically but motivates no emotion in the audience what so ever.

The chemistry is really bad, you’re right. It’s a very superficial romance — which could work mind you. Just let it be two attractive people who want to sleep with each other. It doesn’t have to be true love, especially when the two leads appear to be going through the motions.
The Jane character is so thinly sketched too. It would have been cool if she was fiercely logical and loyal to science, and unwilling to accept the idea of gods and monsters — and then Thor changed her mind. OR she was a scientific outcast because of her beliefs in other realms of existence, and so she proved receptive to Thor. Instead, she’s just kind of perfect and boring, and her relationship to Thor isn’t bound to any kind of commonality or conflict.
I know I’m making a big deal of this, but so does the movie.

She saw his abs and she fell in love with the crazy, homeless man. It’s like a fairy tale!
