YMMV / Almighty Thor

Go To

  • Complete Monster: Loki is depicted as an aeons-old Demon God banished by Odin centuries ago. Escaping from his Prison Dimension into Valhalla and seeking the Hammer of Invincibility, Loki massacres the guards in Odin's palace and unleashes his army of lindworms to devour the inhabitants of Valhalla, as he searches for the hammer, gleefully killing everyone that gets in his way. Challenged by Odin, Loki uses his illusion powers to trick Odin into killing his older son Baldir. and then kills Odin by stabbing him In the Back. After learning Thor and the Valkyrie Jarnsaxa had escaped to Los Angeles with the hammer, Loki follows Thor, unleashing a wave of destruction behind him as he orders his monster army to lay waste to LA, and then killing Jarnsaxa and casting Thor into Hell, before unleashing Ragnarok to destroy Earth and intending to do the same on every other world in his attempt at universal conquest.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Many events in this Thor-knockoff somehow ends up in the actual Thor sequels.
    • Both Almighty Thor and Thor: The Dark World had a climax involving monsters from Asgard being unleashed in an Earth city, and Thor taking on the villain in a fight-slash-chase sequence.
    • Loki's entrance in Almighty Thor mirrors that of Hela from Thor: Ragnarok, emerging from a portal and then challenging the Asgardian military, which he / she defeats in a one-sided Curb-Stomp Battle. Also, Loki unleashed Ragnarok at the end of this movie. Not to mention Thor being banished to a Fire and Brimstone Hell that somewhat resembles Surtur's lair and receiving a Heroic Second Wind in both Ragnarok and this movie allowing him to defeat the villain of the picture.
    • It gets even better in the scene where Thor loses his weapon and have to forge a new hammer from the fires of hell to combat the main villain. This film's Marvel counterpart did exactly the same thing in Avengers: Infinity War.
  • Narm: Truckloads of it.
    Thor: Damn the fabric of the universe!
    • Just the general idea of having Norse gods using Uzis....
  • So Bad, It's Good: The movie's production value may be low, but it's entertainment value is still high. Not in a good way, though.
  • Special Effects Failure: The lindworms monsters resembles monsters from an early PlayStation 2 game. And that's even before getting into the city destruction scenes that looks like special effects from 1999.
