Jon Mikl Thor was a bodybuilding, steel bending, brick smashing rock star in the 70's and 80's whose theatrical band THOR hit the scene alongside Metallica and Kiss, but never achieved the gold record status of its contemporaries. After a brief but memorable film career saw him starring in the cult classics Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare and Zombie Nightmare, Thor all but disappeared from the entertainment map. But ten years into retirement, and incapable of living like a normal mortal human being, Thor attempts a comeback to achieve the level of success that had eluded him his entire career - a comeback that nearly kills him. Tracing the rise, fall, and rebirth of a determined performer over the course of a career that has seen more than its fair share of highs and lows, I AM THOR paints a fascinating and sometimes unbelievable portrait of this larger-than-life icon.

| Film InquiryArlin GoldenHad a little more distance been maintained, I Am Thor likely would have achieved a more honest account of the ascent of Jon. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckUtterly lacking nuance and any sense of proportion, the irresponsible film depicts Democrats not as possessing misguided political ideas but rather as "depraved crooks" and "hateful people." |
| Scene-Stealers.comEric MelinIt isn't as skillfully put together as the very similar Anvil! The Story of Anvil, but it has undeniable appeal as a strange glimpse of what used to be mainstream and what is now a very small subculture. |
| User ReviewGori AThe documentary shows how an inspirational body builder rocker from the late 70s from making music and then acting in movies. After his retirement, Jon Mikl Thor returns back to what he loves best which is to do great entertaining shows. I highly recommend this documentary! |
| User ReviewAndy KI lost track of all the amazing moments in this film. Ranks up there with the best metal documentaries. |
| User Reviewchristopher wUplifting, really funny if you've been in bands. One of the best documentaries I have ever seen. |
| User ReviewBen PA totally charming music doc. This movie hits all the points, high and low, of a remarkably interesting band's career from the beginning to, what may not be, the end. You don't have to love documentaries and you don't have to love metal. By the end of this movie, you will love Thor. |
| User ReviewMarkus MA hilarious (intentionally or not, I have no idea) documentary that succeeds in generating sympathy towards its subject. 8/10 |
| User ReviewJohn SExcellent documentary. Made me laugh out loud a lot. It is poignant and joyous in that you realize that Thor keeps his dream alive and his dream turns out to be bigger than he imagined. |
| User ReviewIan RTremendous backstage look at a washed up nobody who's delusional, but also super awesome! A real life Spinal Tap that deserves to make Thor a household name! |
