Thor the God of Thunder! This movie is nothing new when it comes to the story. The only reason it gets a pass is because it's based off the Journey into Mystery comics from the 60's. The plot is that Thor, Prince of Asgaurd is an ignorant fool that does somthing so pig headed that makes his home unsafe. He then is banished by the King of Asgard (also his father) Odin. The problem with that little thing right there is that the audience doesn't feel the danger. Most of the movie you're on Earth with Thor not on Asgard where the trouble is. When Thor is on Earth it is a simple fish out of water story.
Thor's brither Loki is the villain of the film. His goal is to take over Asgard and destroy a whole planet. Though his plan is evil, he is a very sympathetic character. The problem with that is he isn't sympathetic enough. He just wants to be equal with Thor, but we never saw him be lower than his big brother. There should have been more sympathetic seen's with hiim in it.
The characters on Earth aren't very interesting. They are played by Natalie Portman, Stellan Sarsgaurd, Kat Dennings, and Clark Gregg. You just don't really care about who they are or what they do. You'll find more interesting people sleeping in a gutter. At least there you'd want to know how they got to that point. None of that here.
The action is not enough. There are only 4 big action scenes in the whole movie. The first on Jotenhiem, the second on Earth, the third on Earth again, and the final forth on Asgard. The first fight is fun and exciting, which is because of where they are and how they'll escape. The second is also exciting but leads to a little sadness. The third is mostley the Destroyer blowing up stuff and THEN a minuite action scene. The forth is an epic battle between brothers that is actually very beautiful to watch. Beautiful meaning the scenery of course.
This movie really made people stop laughing at Thor. It made him into an actual superhero and got people to look into him. Even pop culture, surprisingly. When this movie announced years ago, you would have never guessed that Thor would be as popular to day as he was before. And they made the costumes look not so ridiculous.
Overall this was a cool movie. Keneth Branauge (the Shakespear guy) knew what to do with this property. He isn't back for Thor 2, but Marvel was smart and got the director of Game of Thrones to direct Thor's new adventure. This is a Full Price!
