"What A Blast"

Rating: 9/10 (18 May 2011)

Before the Paramount logo was shown in "Iron Man 2", our favorite S.H.I.E.L.D. operative agent Phil Coulson, gets to New Mexico and sees Thor's hammer Mjolnir lying in a crater. So how it got there and Thor wasn't with it. This film will give you the answer.
In "Thor" we get to find out about his life in Asgard being one of the two sons of King Odin. Loki was his brother. Thor's arrogant nature gets him in trouble and Odin banishes him to Earth to get him to clean up his act. While gone from Asgard, Loki takes over as King while Odin is in the Odin Sleep, then plans to destroy Earth. So can Thor get his act together and save Earth and Asgard from his brother's evil?
I felt Kenneth Branagh did a fantastic job directing by using a great mixture of comedy and action to keep the story going. You also had a great cast including Chris Hemsworth, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Tom Hiddleston, Clark Gregg, Natalie Portman, Stellan Skarsgard, Kat Denning, Rene Russo, Ray Stevenson, Tadanobu Asano, Josh Dallas, Jaimie Alexander, and Idris Elba.
So with "Thor" out now and "Captain America" coming in July 2011, the stage will be set for "The Avengers" being released in May 2012. All of us comic book fans are happy we are getting fun entertainment to view. The best is yet to come!!!!
