Great Action Flic, BUT...

Rating: 6/10 (8 May 2011)

This movie is really good on a lot of levels, from the buff, good-looking Hemsworth to the charming Portman. The Audience is transported to another world to see where Odin lives and it's believable. But I was looking for a little more depth of character from the God of thunder. We know as the hero, he is supposed to save the day, but his concern and instant love for all humanity almost seem to come from nowhere as he transitions from the headstrong reckless God of war, to a hero who suddenly loves the entire planet.
Portman's portrayal of Jane is good, but I believe she didn't have much to work with by way of script and much of their interaction seemed rushed. Though we are left looking forward to a sequel in the Avengers, I still wished we could have seen, just a little more depth to the people involved here before moving on to the avengers.
