Featured reviews
I am not surprised to see all these negative reviews. The World is really deteriorating if garbage like "Money Heist" gets 8 stars and movies like Mortal get below 6. The Audience by far is getting tasteless and is being impressed by Over Dramatic, cheap and instant gratifying special effect filled SH** creations.
This movie is not perfect. But it is such a beautiful attempt to tell a wonderful tale. The cinematography is top notch. The locations are breath taking. The story, although slow and imperfect is satisfying.
Yes it isn't a 9 Star movie but definitely a 7.5 star

This movie is very different from the usual high rated ones. Actually a story about something we heard or have seen before, transformed into the present. Not big actions but very good scenes,beautiful places and super camera angles. One to watch more than ones.
Don't worry about the reviews being too low or too high. This is a decent movie, a little slower at times, but its not meant to be a non-stop action flick. Its more of a story.
I wish my version had subtitles as there is a decent amount of Norwegian in the movie.
Really enjoyed this, great locations and good acting all round which helped you feel for the main characters.
I have been watching a lot of Norwegian movies recently and to be honest I have not seen a single bad one yet and this is no exception.
It shows what can be done on a low budget; the photography and landscapes are awesome, the story is intriguing from the very start and keeps you hooked and on the edge of your seat until the very end and puts a magic spin on the old real Norse mythology of Thor and the tree of life.
The people giving this a 1 or 2 stars have no right to be reviewing movies as this means it is the worst movie you have ever seen and if you don't have any idea of what ratings like 1 or 2 mean, you should not be doing reviews. It is almost as bad as the paid shills giving movies a 9 or 10 stars and this is definitely nothing less than a 7 star movie!
It would have gotten an extra star if it had not been for the rather abrupt ending which made me feel like they had run out of money or perhaps angling for a sequel and the main character could have had a better choice of actor but i liked the idea of replacing the usual musclebound, brainless Marvel nonsense with a more ordinary bloke; kudos to the director and may he make many more movies in future and hopefully a sequel as this beats the Marvel crash, bang , wallop ordure into a cocked hat!
If you enjoyed this movie then do try other Norwegian classics such as the magnificent disaster movies Bølgen (2015) and the sequel Skjelvet (2018), for horror try some Fritt vilt (2006) and one of the best thrillers I have seen in ten years Hodejegerne (2011) but do rent this Thor alternative or preferably see it at the cinema as this film is truly a joy to behold!
