Editorial Review: Amazon.com: There was some amazing, classic animation done for superhero cartoons done as far back as Max & Dave Fleisher's Superman series of the early 1940s (echoes of which can be found in Batman: The Animated Series). Those were done for the big screen; by the mid-1960s, superhero cartoons were being brought to television, and some of Marvel Comics' biggest heroes--Captain America, Spider-Man, Thor, and the Incredible Hulk--were the stars. Unfortunately, television didn't have much in terms of cachet--or production values--at the time, and all four heroes suffer for it. Between Odin's ever-changing looks (Thor's father rarely manages to keep the same face--let alone the same outfit--from shot to shot) and the over-the-top dialogue, it's hard to follow whatever semblance of plot was scripted. On the two episodes here--"Enter Hercules," in which the Norse God of Thunder battles his equally brawny Greek cousin, and "Battle of the Gods," in which Loki enlists the Enchantress and the Executioner to defeat Thor--the animation is minimal. It looks as if only a couple dozen pictures of the main characters were drawn; for the most part, this is a series of stationary illustrations with voiceovers and plenty of narration. --Randy Silver Average Rating:
 Rating:  - the mighty thorgood but wish it had a longer running time, more than one story line Rating: - God of Thunder...Mighty Thor!I keep hearing complaints that this is less than average animation. First of all it was made in the late 1960s. Second of all its probably the only cartoon available of Thor. I used to rent this at a store that has long since moved on. After the store closed I thought I would never see them again, so I was very happy to see them rereleased. This video and others like, Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, Spider Man, and Sub Mariner are all classics. They are basically the moving art of Jack ... Read More Rating: - A Fascinating ArtifactFrom what I've seen of this reissue series (Thor and Hulk), it's a great example of exuberantly shoddy Sixties science fiction - in terms of lovable cheeziness it compares well with Star Trek, its hallowed contemporary. In fact, I suspect Bruce Banner's lab and Doc McKoy's sick bay shared a few sound effects. Everything about the cartoons is laughable by today's standards, of course, but that's what makes them so darn funny. Hercules' dialogue had me flopping off the couch in tears, ...

Naturally, the animation is a bit behind the times however. Rating:  - Kids video or collectors item? Fox Home Video's MistakeThe latest round of Marvel Super Heroes video releases by Fox Home Video missed a golden opportunity by not realizing the audience for these videos. Released twice before (as kiddie videos) by Prism Entertainment in 1985 and Best Film and Video in 1992, I can tell you first hand that modern kids don't like these the way 1966-68 kids did. Instead, Fox should release these as a comic collector's edition targeting the original audience now grown up. This Thor tape is an adaptation of the comic books, ...
