I thoroughly enjoyed this magnificent film. In hindsight, it was an advantage that I had absolutely no prior knowledge, so I had no idea it was about Norse mythology. The special effects weren't outstanding but more than adequate. The story was fairly standard, with no real surprises, and the ending felt a bit too abrupt. Nevertheless, I give it an 8; partly because of the overall experience, the beautiful visuals, and the concept behind it.

It was actually a bit disappointing. I agree that it could have been fun to bring the Folklore back to Europe. But Øvredal fails to make the script engaging enough. The mystery drags on for far too long, without it really being unclear what is wrong with him, and the characters are quite predictable. Ultimately, it is mainly a shame that he doesn't do more with the folklore, whereas he did with Trollenjager, making this film essentially too much of a standard origin story.

He still has some visual flair, but the pace needs to pick up.

2.5 stars.

Director André Øvredal delivers a Norwegian answer to the wildly popular superhero films of today, but primarily fails to adopt what makes the competition so successful. Torden boasts a few powerful action moments, but these remain very sparse and suffer under mediocre acting from both Nat Wolff and Iben Akerlie. Agonizingly slowly, Øvredal takes you on a journey through multiple ideas that come across as anything but innovative or engaging, and take far too long to arrive. On a melodramatic level, it is all too familiar and static; as an action sequence, there is too little going on; and as an original concept, it remains too tentative. The grim ending and a few grand moments liven things up a bit, but hopefully, Øvredal will stick to horror films from now on.
