As Mighty as Asgard.

Rating: 8/10 (10 July 2011)

Marvel had been putting together a string of very unmemorable not so good films years ago with Ghostrider, Daredevil, and spiderman 2 and 3. However as of late there have been some great Marvel Films and Thor is one of them.
Thor is to be the ruler of Asgard but has himself banished to Earth without his powers due to him going behind his fathers back and starting a war. His mighty Hammer is also sent to Earth and only he can ever possess the ability to use it again some day, but first must prove himself to his father Oden. Thors brother Loki plots to rule Asgard himself after learning secrets about his past.
A major reason for this film being so good is the acting. The cast is phenomenal. Chris Hemsworth plays a very good Thor, I really bought his performance as the God of Thunder. Natalie Portman is great as always and Anthony Hopkins is always legendary, one of the best actors ever in my opinion.
The story was also good. It starts with a flashback explanation on how Thor got to where he was. Very well done. Also there was a lot of funny parts that I found entertaining. NOthing too lame or anything so that was good.
I also really liked the Villain, Loki. He was also well portrayed for his screen adaptation. And Destroyer was also really cool, even if the effects for his laser were really loud.
Action was pretty good, Thor could have battled more when he was actually in control of his god like powers. However I am sure he will get to do more in his next films.
This was very good film. I recommend it.
