[Thor]
Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is the god of thunder, and the son of Odin. Arrogant, and just an overall cocky deuce. He's in line for the throne, but makes some mistakes in judgement just before he's throned. Odin decides that Thor is not ready to be king yet, and banishes him to Earth to teach him humility. After being cast out, Thor comes across Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) and her team of scientists. While his rome of Asgard is being overtaken by his brother Loki, Thor looks for a way back home and save his kingdom.
Director Kenneth Branagh does a hell of a job with this movie. Action looks epic enough. And it actually looks like God is kicking some ass. The director can shoot some pretty good action. I just wish there was more of it, i really do. But, Kenneth Branagh (director) fills this Thor movie with plenty to look at, and gives the large cast plenty to say.
The cast is just great, nobody is weak here. If anything, then your just gonna wish that Branagh spent more time on each character, cause these characters are so good. But, realistically, there is no time for that. Branagh compacts a lot in 114 min.
The movie starts to feel rushed at the end of the film. With Thor having his little coming of age rather quickly. For a guy who is suppose to go through his whole personality change, and humble, being banished, it happens kinda quick. Also, his love for Foster never got time to develop. I would have appreciated a few more scenes with them together. And maybe i would have bought this, god falling in love with this human. It felt rushed. This prevents the movie from being up there with The Dark Knight, Iron Man, etc. It's a shame, cause it was so close.
Still, Kenneth Branagh pulls it off. And gives us one of the better superhero movies that you are going to see.
Skip the 3-D. It's not worth it.
