Thor [2011]

Thor is banished to the realms of humankind when he disobeyed his father Odin's orders. With his arrogance, thirst for war and bloodshed and revenge against the Frost Giants, Thor has put Asgard in the brink of danger and war. But, never would he have predicted that a mere mortal scientist would change his ways and turn him into a god who will not just defend Earth from dark forces, but also Asgard from his traitor brother and the power-hungry Frost Giants.

I didn't realize the god of thunder is also a god of super hotness body. This movie also has a discrete sense of humor one will enjoy.
