Don't expect an epic story and you'll have a great time

Rating: 7/10 (21 November 2011)

Any viewer with more brain cells than feet will, after seeing the trailer (or reading the IMDb description), know pretty much everything there is to know about the storyline. So just don't expect any mind blows the likes of Butterfly effect, Godfather or Fight club.
That said, the story isn't that bad. The director put a lot of attention into detail, and there is plenty of candy for the attentive viewer. The visuals are great, and there are the occasional funny moments that really complete the movie. Hemsworth is great as Thor, and Portman portrays a believable role.
The fights are awesome and holding true to the saying: if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing. Most importantly: the trailer doesn't show all the best scenes, like they do plenty of times.
In short: this movie is just like Thor. Not the greatest thinker, but one of the best arrogant-jackass-playboy-war-machines of awesomeness. Expect that, and you'll love it.
