He can always move the fight someplace else. Thor fought really smart in the movie. He wasn't his usual "MJOLNIR slugout" brick people are used to in comics. I doubt Magneto will be able to manipulate MJOLNIR and even if he does manage to do that Thor can simply summon it back. Thor's flight speed and that accuracy with MJOLNIR will be a pain in the ass for Magnus. If Magneto goes wild with metal all around Thor counters with a storm of his own.
Thor stomps. Odin's magic >>>> Magento's mutant powers... which means Magneto won't be able to control Mjolnir.
For the people saying Magneto can crush Thor in his armor or hurl metal into him or whatever... Thor took multiple shots from Hulk and was still fine, I don't think Mags can generate enough force in his magnetism to match Hulk's strength, not movie Mags anyway.
Besides, Thor has shown very high durability in the movies. Surviving as I said multiple shots from Hulk, a repulsor to the face, and pretty much bulletproof if we go by Loki's showings.
Magneto has human durability, old man frailty at that. Thor can probably survive crushing metal attacks by magneto, but Magneto can NOT survive a hit from Thor.
At the most, Thor showed to be around Hulk's strength; this is giving him leeway, imo. But for the sake of argument, Thor is as strong as the Hulk.
Magneto ripped out and then carried the Golden Gate Bridge with his powers; that's absurdly superior anything Hulk (TIH & Avgrs) has shown. An excess of 150,000+ tons he can exert with his powers using metal as a medium, not counting the amount of force it would take to do the ripping in the first place.
While true, it took him several hits and he more caused it to explode from its own energies than him destroying it via blunt force. Like hitting/damaging a battery or bomb until it explodes. Also, you'd need to quantify how durable that bridge was, could just be as strong as very thick glass, ie what it appeared to be.
IMO, that scene shows his insane durability more than his strength. Though it doesn't make sense considering we later see him being harmed by what appears to be much less force than the BF exploding. Hulk's punch; Loki's dagger.
If Thor was doing this without his metal armor, I'd say he'd be able to smash Magneto's head in before any piece of debris could be sent his way. But with that armor on... he's dead.

Yes but if all Magneto is going to use is metal against Thor, and normal human made metal doesn't seem to be able to pierce Thor's skin, then all the metal that Magneto hurls at Thor will just bend over him.
Even trying to crush him with his armor, the metal is the weak link between Magneto's power and Thor's durability. It's going to be like trying to stab someone with styrofoam.
I think it still all boils down to durability. Thor can (arguably) withstand Magneto's attacks and launch counter attacks of his own. Magneto can NOT withstand a hit from Thor.
Movie Magneto did not demonstrate any capacity to make shields.
