Parent View:
Finally a light family Super hero movie. The best Super Hero movie since Superman 2 – with some great comedy moments. This film was a 12A at the cinema meaning it could be watched by kidz under 12. Personally I’m happy for all my Kidz under 12 to watch Thor – this would have been a PG in a different time.
As for the 3D Blu-Ray this is an interesting one for me. I didn’t really notice the 3D when I watched the film at the cinema – but on the small screen it has far more impact. This now has me licking my lips at prospect of seeing other films on 3D Blu-Ray that I felt the same way like Captain America and Harry Potter. The 3D Blu-Ray for Thor is well worth viewing!!
Fun Thor facts!!!!

10 things you didn’t know about Thor…
Thor’s father is Odin (All-Father of the Gods)
His mother is Jord (Earth Goddess)
He was the strongest of the Aeisir (the race of Norse Gods) who lived in Asgard
Like all Asgardians, Thor is not truly immortal but relies upon periodic consumption of the Golden Apples of Idunn to sustain his extended lifespan, which to date has lasted many millennia
Thor is the God of thunder
Thor possessed a mystical hammer called Mjolnir, which can only be wielded by those deemed as worthy
The following have wielded the hammer: Thor, the Awesome Android, Odin, Tiwaz, Red Norvell, Beta Ray Bill, Bor, Captain America and The Hulk – but only out of pure strength
He has the powers to control weather, fly, teleport and deliver very powerful blows
Thor possesses a very high resistance to physical injury that approaches invulnerability
Thor is also capable of entering into a state known as the “Warrior’s Madness” (“berserkergang” in Norwegian), which will temporarily increase his strength and stamina tenfold, although in this state he attacks friend and foe alike
