Marvel has another movie classic
PostedMay 16, 2011

THOR was an energy packed movie almost from the very start. The look of the outfits, characters and outer space realms was very much in keeping with the comic book illustrations yet they were typically tweeked and boldly enhanced digitally. Hollywood did what they do and added a sharpened gleaming 'edge' to the feel of the all the fantasy imagery. The story line was generally decent and the movie pace did not drag at all. For the ladies watching, it had a very believable though sometimes struggling love connection between our 'god' hero and the earth-bound mortal scientist played by Natalie Portman. There were some elements that really pushed the limits of your 'suspension of disbelief' ( like a small time scientist with what looks like many thousands of dollars worth of equiptment smack dab in a circular glass building right in the middle of a tiny midwest town) though those were few. But ultimately, like we all want in all good action films, the 'bad guys', be they on earth as the government or the ice giants in their cold realm in this flick, got their butts handed to them big time by the good guy, the god of Thunder and his other worldly associates. Hemworth (Thor) looks and feels the part of the Marvel Comics legend extremely well with golden locks, disarming smile and 'god-like' hard chisled muscular frame. Upon first seeing his torso in full on the screen, there were a few delighted gasps from the ladies in the audience. He genuinely comes across as fearless and ever anxious for the thrill of battle yet unwaveringly devoted to the Asgard, his home realm. This movie was definitely NOT a loser for Marvel.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
