    Talking Points:

    Thor and other character’s are willing to sacrifice their lives in their attempt to destroy Malekith, the evil villain.

    There is an all-star cast, to name a few; Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, and Anthony Hopkins.

    • We see two different couples kissing.

    Violent Content: Excessive

    • There were a lot of battles with swords, guns and other weapons used.
    • Spaceships crash and destroy buildings, resulting in several casualties.
    • There were scary monsters and other evil creatures that caused mayhem throughout the film; swallowing humans, throwing cars, and stabbing people.

    Crude or Profane Language: Mild

    • We hear “sh-t,” “h–l,” and “d–n,” however, only a few times throughout the film.

    Drugs and Alcohol: Mild

    • Characters are shown drinking adult beverages.
    • A scientist was known to take several prescription drugs.

    Will It Appeal to Kids? Yes

    Overall Thor is an action packed sci/fi film, one that kids (especially those that like super-hero movies), will enjoy. Depending on the child, I recommend this for kids ages 10 and up. Parents need to be aware of the excessive violent content woven through film.
