Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

ethanbreem This movie is so good I cant even ex plane the plot besides the fact that Loki wants the hammer of invincibility. This movie has the absolute best CG I've seen in years (I haven't watched a movie since 1989). The acting is great, its almost as good as the room. The locations in this movie are also great, we get the see a forest and an alleyway. Honesty Cody deal looks more like the original Thor than Chris hems worth and he uses a sub machine gun. Richard ( I cant say his last name because IMDb doesn't recognize it as a real word and wont let me submit the review) also does a great job as Loki with wight face paint. Him screaming Odin is easily the best movie quote of all time. Their is also a Latino woman that dies of asylum cancer partway through the movie. This is easily the superior Thor movie.

Paul Magne Haakonsen First of all I have to mention two things. First of all, I am part Danish and part Norwegian so the Norse mythology is in my heritage and in my blood. Secondly, I can't claim to be overly much fan of the Marvel "Thor" movie neither.But this SyFy Channel attempt to swing at the Norse mythology was just painful and offensive. Given it being a SyFy Channel production gives it a certain degree of leniency, because they usually put out some rather questionable movies. Though it should be said that once in a rare while they do hit a home-run and put out something worthwhile. However, "Almighty Thor" was definitely a swing and a miss of the worst kind.As with most SyFy Channel productions the CGI is questionable or downright laughable. And they didn't fail on that aspect in "Almighty Thor". The CGI animated creatures were such an eyesore and the special effects, with ironic emphasis on special, were nothing to write home about.I could understand the poor attempt at a storyline here, despite the obvious holes and mistakes, but their choice in who were on the cast list. Wow! That just simply puzzles me beyond comprehension. I am sure that Cody Deal (playing Thor) is good at whatever he has made prior to and after "Almighty Thor" (though I can't claim to have seen him before or since), but as the god of thunder, he was just not the best of choices. I couldn't take him seriously in the role; it was like watching a buffed version of Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder) just with a better haircut. And as for Richard Grieco (playing Loki), what was up with that make-up? He looked like he was a methamfetamine addict, and it was difficult to take him serious in the role as well. Then to further upset the scale, enter Patricia Velasquez (playing Jarnsaxa) with that heavy Latin accent, it just didn't fit into the movie at all.Now, "Almighty Thor" isn't all bad. Believe it or not, there was some upsides to the movie. And that was the costumes. I enjoyed the armor and costumes that they used in the movie. Lots of nice details there.In overall, watching "Almighty Thor" was like watching a group of people running around acting out a LARP (Live Action Role Playing) event. It was just dreadful, and a major slap in the face to anyone who respects or pays tribute to the Norse pantheon.Come to think of it, I think they actually got the title wrong, I think it was meant to be titled "Almighty Bore" and not "Almighty Thor". Sure seemed that way from the lack of energy and entertainment value to this production.I've seen a heap of SyFy Channel productions over the years, and this was definitely amongst the top of the chain as in terms of being bad!

gin_nseven If I could bottle the greatness of this movie, I could sell it for a thousand Oscars! This one is not to be missed. I was delighted to find this gem on the Space Channel one enchanted evening. I cannot comprehend how this film was not released into the cinema, however I am quite giddy to have the opportunity to PVR this gem for replay after glorious replay! The premise is quite superb. Thor must recover his enchanted hammer, and his travels take him to the farthest regions of imagination, and eventually our own home of earth. However his evil half-brother Loki seeks to thwart the Odin-son's quest by seeking to covet the hammer for his own diabolical scheme. All the while Thor is accompanied by the thoroughly intoxicating Jarnsaxa. The journey and it's climax are beyond my craft of words to describe. Even so I could not do justice to it if I attempted. I will leave all the eloquent story telling left to the movie itself. The acting is superb, with the ready and able Cody "The Real" Deal as the brawn and brains which is Thor. His complete grasp of the essence of the character must be savored with the greatest zest for Nordic gusto. The beautiful and talented Patrica Velasquez is the breathtaking Jarnsaxa who both guides and scolds our hero. Her luminance and enticing demeanor lull us into a trance of such sweet bliss it is easy to see why Mr. Donald Trump selected this raven haired temptress for his latest Celebrity Apprentice! IF mere words could only convey the pleasure she elicits in every line, it would be a most elegant prose!AS for the conniving Loki, he is played by none other than the mufti-talented thespian, Mr. Richard Grieco. Could there be a more charismatic, intelligent, and enigmatic actor out there than him? His, is a true "tour-De-force", a masterpiece of his craft, the very reason the profession of acting exists. His pallid face, and electrified hair are done to perfection, and his black armor belie his evil characters intent. His marches through this role with pure gusto. His command of the theater is a Shakespearean epoch of grandeur. Truly his performance is one that must be savored as the finest wine. Mr. Grieco almost eclipses the movies own greatness, but somehow both work in a synergistic flow that enhance the aura of indescribable epicness.The movie itself is truly a classic tale, and the intricate weave of characters, scenes, and script, make this a mythic masterpiece. Each time I view it, which has been several so far, I notice all the nuance and subtlety that was engineered into this film. One cannot truly be a student of cinema without viewing this movie, dare I call it an experience, in all its grand fullness, at least tenfold. If you have not yet had the rewarding pleasure, go forth and drink of the Nordic myth! Take command of the hammer itself and make, nay! smash your path to this tale of pure ecstasy, and bask in the greatness that is Almighty Thor!

Neil Welch Well it ain't Jack Kirby, that's for sure.Filmed in some back alley somewhere - literally, watch it if you don't believe me: no, on second thoughts, don't watch it - this SyFy special features one time B movie video star Richard Grieco as Loki in some snazzy black fetish duds, hottie Patricia Velesquez from the first two Mummy films as Jarnsaxa (who? Miss Velasquez looks as if the odd pie might not go amiss) and, as Thor, that household name Cody Deal in big fluffy boots and otherwise normal clothes (and a passing resemblance to Owen Wilson.You can also look forward to some poor CGI serpents, poorer special effects, a bit of action every now and then, and a script full of direlogue.This is a bad film.
