Thor (2011)

Exiled to Earth after his arrogance fans the flames of an ancient conflict, The Mighty Thor (Chris Hemsworth) of Asgard discovers the meaning of humility when a powerful old foe dispatches a destructive force to crush humanity. Only when the banished prince has defeated an opponent capable of crushing him in battle will he learn what it takes to be a true leader. Anthony Hopkins, Natalie Portman, Stellan Skarsgard, and Tadanobu Asano co-star in a comic book adventure from acclaimed director Kenneth Branagh. [www.allrovi.com]

Hemsworth, an Aussie actor with a vocal command to match his heaving brawn, doesn't just play the role; he owns it.
