For a lighthearted superhero movie, it is excellent. Thor is no longer just another Hulk with a hammer. He has to use his brain, and for a person not used to do that, I think he quite outdid himself.
Thor: Ragnarok is up there as one of my favourites in the MCU. This is one of the funniest movies in the MCU, and despite being the 17th movie in the series, it shows no signs of getting old. This is a fun adventure, with great visuals and a blend of action and comedy to keep you invested. This movie also introduces new characters who are now in my favourite characters of the franchise, specifically Valkyrie, Korg and the Grandmaster.

Grandmaster: Revolution? How did this happen?
Topaz: Don't know. But the arena's mainframe for the Obedience Disks have been deactivated and the slaves have armed themselves.
Grandmaster: Ooh, ah, I don't like that word.
Topaz: Which? Mainframe?
Grandmaster: No. Why would I not like mainframe? No, the "S" word, the "S" word.
Topaz: Sorry, the prisoners with jobs have armed themselves.
Grandmaster: [Smiles] OK, that's better.
Trivia: When Thor is strapped in the chair we can hear the music from the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory; specifically an instrumental version of Pure Imagination.

Answer: If other people are worthy, they can gain the power of Thor (this is something that has happened in the comics), but Thor can muster that power alone. In his case, the hammer simply allows him to focus his powers.
How come then that in the first movie when Odin wants to remove Thor's power he "confiscates" Mjolnir? If Thor's power is intrinsically inside him, how could Odin remove it? Then, he reacquire those powers only after holding Mjolnir again, which implies Thor's powers come from Mjolnir. This is poorly explained in the movies.
Epigenis
"Poorly explained" doesn't make it a mistake. Odin suppressed Thor's innate powers and removed the hammer both symbolically and to prevent Thor from using it to reacquire his powers.
