Thor

Rating: 10/10 (6 May 2011)

Well, I must say leading up to the release of Thor, I wasn't excited at all and was trying all I could do to avoid it. Reason being, I was never a fan of Thor when I was younger. My 1st encounter with the character was when he was featured in an episode of the Incredible Hulk series back in the 80's. And I remember I was not impressed at all with the outfit & mythology that surrounded his Character. Thor the film however changed my mind. Its amazing how an adaptation can go so far and actually emulate the kind of imagination the creators actually had for this Character and his universe. I congratulate the Director & all involved in this movie for making it such an awesome experience in the cinema as the visual effects were outstanding & nailed to the core. The story itself was an absolute gem. Yes, we may have stumbled across similar story lines elsewhere. But the writers did a brilliant job to make this their own. All the Characters were built up well throughout & I don't say this often, but the acting was probably one of the best you will see in a Marvel movie adaptation. Thor is actually a masterpiece. And should go on to claim to be this years greatest blockbuster. DC comics have the new Batman flying its flag. Marvel have, The Iron Man, Thor & possibly Captain America & the Avengers. Its exiting times to be a comic fan, with films like Thor laying a new benchmark in story telling & it could only be justice to us fans to wait for a second Thor movie. I for one, will be extremely anxious to what will happen next. One thing though,.... do watch Thor in 3D. Truly amazing.
