Hardly a Superhero Movie

Rating: 5/10 (25 April 2011)

Thor had a lot of potential and I was really looking forward to it, but it turned out it was hardly a superhero movie - which I love. It didn't have much of a plot either, or have good characters. The effects were pretty good though, but that's not really saying much.
I did however enjoy it a little, it did have a few laughs. There are three bad guys in this, one for each world: Loki, Thor's brother who had motives that didn't match his actions which made it all a bit confusing, The SHIELD dude that stole all of the Jane Foster's (Natalie Portman) research (which seemed to include almost everything she owned even though only a fraction was to do with Thor and his hammer), and the entire race of Frost Giants which end up not really doing much except for being stupid and dying.
So with the whole non-superhero movie thing, Thor gets sent to earth and meets Jane Foster and also acting like a crazy lunatic. Besides this Jane pretty much falls in love with him. Thor is suddenly good and wise. Some stuff happens for a while then Loki sends this ultimate killing machine thing that obliterated the Frost Giants, to 'destroy everything', not really sure why. *SPOILER* Thor gets battered around, finally gets his hammer back and kills the dude in one blow and goes back to his home planet. Flies around a bit, trying to kill his brother. When they are both about to fall off a cliff (even though he can fly) Thor's dad comes out of nowhere and saves him, and Loki falls. For some reason Thor sees this as completely terrible even though they were trying to kill each other just minutes before. Oh yeah, Loki is actually a small frost giant, taken by the King at birth. Nothing really to do with anything, but they put it in anyway.
So yeah, not really worth seeing.
