Reaction: While The Hammer of Thor did not turn out to be a record breaking hit, it still performed very well - especially considering its lack of connections to the rest of the studio's Marvel Universe.

"I was worried a bit when Channing Tatum was announced as LRF's Thor, but he does a mostly solid job in a much more serious take on the character than has been seen in recent years. The world-building in Roy Horne's script is amazing, perfectly placing the audience in both Asgard and the Viking world. The story's use of some of the classic Norse beasts was great, with the finale of Thor fighting Jormungandr, the Midgard serpent, was just plain awesome." - Paul Onkean, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

"Channing Tatum shows leading man ability, but Sam Riley has the breakout performance as Loki. Overall, Roy Horne's new direction to the <arvel character Thor recreates a new experience. Like most LRF MU movies, The Hammer of Thor finds a new way to tell a well-known story and fills it with new aspects. If anyone wanted something new outside of the MCU, this would be the closest you get to anything entertaining while being refreshing." - Tom Lane, Detroit News

"If the goal of the LRF Marvel films is to feel different from their MCU counterparts, then The Hammer of Thor certainly does the trick. Where Chris Hemsworth's Thor has become more cosmic and comedic over time, Horne's interpretation of the character heads back to its fantasy roots and takes an interesting turn by placing the character in the Viking Age. I'm not sure if Tatum is a perfect fit given his acting strengths but the film is a fun time overall." - Ben Mazur, SciFiNow

Rated PG-13 for intense fantasy violence and some sensuality
