Entertainment at its best

Rating: 9/10 (1 October 2011)

I watched this film in 2d, and have been a Thor character fan since childhood (in the 1960's). I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it.
After the Iron man films (The first was really good, and the second a big let down), I didn't really know what to expect from Thor.
I think the whole concept was really carried out perfectly as an introduction to the character for those that were not familiar with the comics. I must admit to being quite surprised at some of the negative comments that have been written about this film. It was by far the best superhero adaptation that I have seen.
Some people have said that the character development was inadequate, I don't agree. This type of film, people go to see because of the action and the larger than life stories. The film is nearly 2 hours long, if more character development was added the either it would be longer (and many will say its too long) or some of the action sequences would have to go. You can't have it all ways.
I stopped reading these comics over forty years ago, and have not kept up with any of the updates, but I think the updated occupations compared to the silver age comics were well carried out.
To me it was really just like reading a really good Thor comic, and that is all I expected. As a good Thor comic it was a classic.
