"Good Comic Book Film!"

Rating: 7/10 (23 May 2012)

Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Hopkins, Natalie Portman and Tom Hiddleston star in Kenneth Branagh's 2011 action film based on the Marvel comic book. In a far away galaxy in the kingdom, Asgard, King Odin (Hopkins) is about to proclaim his son and god of thunder, Thor (Hemsworth) heir to his throne until a race known as frost giants sneaks into their realm. After Thor tries to start war with them, he gets banished to Earth powerless by Odin for being arrogant. He crash lands somewhere in Mexico where he meets and romances a young astrophysicist, Jane (Portman) who helps him and redeems himself trying to save the universe. Hiddleston plays Thor's adopted brother, Loki who becomes a traitor trying to keep Thor away and take over as king when Odin is ill. Rene Russo is also featured as Thor's mother, Frigga. Chris is great as Thor and I recommend this good comic book film.
