Movie Review: Thor


Brief Summary - In the midst of young Thor's coronation ceremony, an ancient nemesis sudden intrusion stirs up unrest. Against his father's advice the arrogant, fearless warrior insists on provoking the situation, bringing war to Asgard [his planet]. His actions bear severe consequences that force him to mature and re-evaluate what is really important.

Rating - on a scale of 1 to 10 Thor gets a solid 7.5

Movie Strengths - good action, animated fight scenes, captivating visuals, strong lead performances by Thor [Chris Hemsworth] and Anthony Hopkins [as always], I also appreciated Thor's barbarian brand of humor.

Movie Weaknesses - Natalie Portman was miscast, her presence did absolutamente nada to compliment this movie!

Final Thoughts - Thor was not nearly half as tacky as I expected it to be...I was genuinely surprised by how elegantly put together this film is. If you are a fan of the comic/cartoon I do not think you will be terribly disappointed. However, if you don't know jack about Thor luckily everything is well explained without TMI.
