Skip it

Rating: 1/10 (4 June 2011)

I enjoy Scandinavian mythology and am well familiar with all its cinematic and musical offshoots.
That said, this movie has all of the following features: 1. Great special effects 2. Expensive sets 3. Cute costume design. Yes 'cute' 4. Anthony Hopkins
And here is what this film DOES NOT have: 1. Acting 2. Story 3. Direction 4. Music 5. Any kind of entertainment for an even remotely intelligent mind
At the end of it I felt I had just wasted my time. It just wasn't entertaining at any level. It added no value to my life either. The best things about this film are probably Kat Denning's boobs. But they weren't seen (or felt) either so...
I wondered later why it was so overly hyped worldwide.
I realized that you can generally avoid hyped films and be rest assured of having not lost anything important.
Reading glowing reviews of this film here really made me laugh.
If Thor could see them, he'd laugh too.
Oh and remember less one in four people is intelligent.
