Another Winner for the Marvel Universe.

Rating: 9/10 (9 May 2011)

The Marvel movies of the past years have had only one disappointment, and that was with "Hulk" which starred Eric Bana. Thor can be added to the past Marvel films that have made a mark on the cinematic world. I am not a hardcore fan when it comes to the Thor Comic books, but I know him well enough to know what the film version should include.
While there is much to work with for the film I was still wary as to how they would pursue the film version and make Thor as successful as Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, and so on; but they did it splendidly and the end result is a fantastic movie experience with amazing stunts and graphics.
The storyline was solid moving from the Asgard to Earth made the movie much more interesting then having it set in one world. The sets were elaborate, beautiful, and very appropriate for the Norse Gods; and on top of that the futuristic style of the costumes added more to the sets and really brought the characters to life. Another aspect that made the movie was beside the heavyweight actors such as Natalie Portman, Stellan Skarsgard, and Anthonly Hopkins, brought relatively unknown actors to the big screen which added a sense a mystery as to what the audience can expect from the cast.Chris Hemsworth was fantastic, i'm eager to see him in the Avengers; the performances from his friends (Sif,Loki...)complimented his performance brilliantly. But I believe the film to be complete with Darcy (Kat Dennings) she made the movie funny in all the right places.
With that I give this movie a 9/10 because as great as the movie was, it was not perfect some small flaws were, and I know that this is mean, but Natalie actually bugged me at times with her performance. I felt that she was too serious an actress to do this type of film, but as stated it wasn't a horrible performance from her just momentary instances where I was like "oh my god." But like anything else its a matter of opinion and preference to which everyone is entitled to. But enjoy the movie for it is a fun and wild ride.
