Film
Ultimate Thor appears in the two animated films Ultimate Avengers: The Movie and Ultimate Avengers 2, which are loosely adapted from The Ultimates. In Ultimate Avengers, Thor's appearance is considerably smaller than the appearances of the other heroes. He first appears with a group of environmental protesters when Nick Fury and Captain America approach him to join the Avengers, to which he harshly refuses. He appears in the climax of the film in time to help defeat the Chitauri fleet and the Hulk. In Ultimate Avengers 2, he overcomes a predicament which involves the deaths of the Avengers at the hands of the Chitauri invasion force. He disobey's Odin's demand that he returns to Asgard and stops interfering with the affairs of man. He aids the team in fighting the worldwide invasion and confirms his claims to be the God of Thunder by reviving Iron Man, who is near death at this point. He appears at the memorial for the deceased Giant Man.
Thor undergoes some differences to make him resemble the original Thor created by Stan Lee. His costume and hammer remain unchanged from The Ultimates, though he is clean-shaven and has onscreen conferences with Odin. Mjöllnir is not shown to have the worthiness test similar to the classic Thor, but the Hulk is shown to be able to lift the hammer with great physical effort. The hammer Thor uses in the film is actually an axe-hammer hybrid of the original Mjolnir hammer, and does not have a worthiness enchantment on it. Therefore, the Hulk was able to lift it. He brings to Earth his "Asgardian mead", a drink he claims to be the "nectar of the Gods".

Famous quotes containing the word film:
“[Film noir] experiences periodic rebirth and rediscovery. Whenever we have any moment of deep societal rift or disruption in America, one of the ways we can express it is through the ideas and behavior in film noir.”
—John Briley (b. 1925)
“I think of horror films as art, as films of confrontation. Films that make you confront aspects of your own life that are difficult to face. Just because you’re making a horror film doesn’t mean you can’t make an artful film.”
—David Cronenberg (b. 1943)
“A good film script should be able to do completely without dialogue.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
