a movie for the gods

Rating: Null/10 (22 July 2011)

through and through this was a movie for every one. there where some mildly scary scenes for some children but all around it was safe for the comic book loving kids. Thor played well for the long fans of the comic such as me. I will come out and say it now i'm a girl and the one thing that didn't sit well for me tho hence the 8 out of 10 instead of a strait 10 out of 10. is that in the middle of the film it felt like a chick flick between Thor and Jane. they are meant to fall in love i understand that but it became a main focus instead of the betrayal of Loki to his Brother.
Loki's story takes a back seat to Jane and Thor. and Loki is very much apart of what makes Thor in to what he is. He has to over come the fact that his beloved brother dose this. these two before this were like two peas in a pod and the betrayal Hit Thor hard. Loki is the key to Thor turning into the Hero he is.
The Fact that it takes a back seat to Jane and Thor. we lose the reason that Loki is pushed to what he is. He Finds out that he isn't in fact born of the gods but of the Ice Giants Leading to what he does in so many ways. and losing that i feel hurt the film some.
The Actors however did fantastic. Chris Hemsworth i was worried seeing is past work that he could be the arrogant Thor and the Humble one. but he was able to pull it off quite well. And, then his Leading Lady Nately Portman. she was a strong woman to hold her self up with him and all of his arrogant. She was able to be the woman that turn him in to what he needs to be to be a worthy hero. the there is Kat Denning as much as i love this girl i could have lived with out her in the film. she is mainly comic relief. Her main lines deal with the fact that her first encounter with Thor had to do with a Taser. we also have Stallen Skarsgard he was superb as then mentor of Jane and father figure. he also held well with the cast as some one who belonged. and help familiarize others with the mythology behind the comic.
I was blown away by Tom Heddleston I had only seen his work in a Jane Austen biopic that was by far no where near what Loki was meant to be. And at the Very core of what Loki is He still very much loves his brother but the fact that so much was kept from him. and he knew he could never truly reach the throne pushed him to what he becomes. and through out the film we could still see that he loved his brother to the end no matter what he did to him. and Tom was able to hold both sides strongly.
and for fans of the avengers like all of the ones leading up to the Avengers there are some wonderful treats. like the appearance of Hawkeye one of my personal favorite avengers. and mentions of the other team members such as stark.
all and all i give this Adaptation of Thor a Thumps up and then some
