Looks good but lacks conviction!!

Rating: 6/10 (10 January 2013)

Thor looks the part, film is fun in parts and has a strong ending but just lacks real quality. The film starts of explaining how there has been a war for century's between the warriors of Asgard(Thors homeland) and the Ice Giants. Thor is to become king but his ceremony is interrupted by a hand full of these Giants of Ice, So to take revenge Thor and a 3 of his friends transport to the land of the ice Giants and destroy almost all of them!! A century of war yet Thor can kill 600 in 10 min??? Thor ends up banished to Earth. This seems to fail also, there is a huge lack of humour and the love interest is slightly boring!! Thor does return to Asgard and it is here the movie rapidly improves. The end of this film saves it from being a turkey. Thor is played well by Hemsworth and Hiddlestone is excellent as Loki but the rest of the characters are lacking, as is the acting of Natalie Portman.
