A good intro for a popular series

Rating: 8/10 (12 November 2017)

After getting exiled from Asgard as a result of his foolish and disrespectful actions, Thor is sent to Midgard (Earth) as an ordinary man. Seeking to redeem himself in front of his father, the king, he will begin the search for his lost hammer with the help of a local scientist which happens to be investigating the stars right where he landed.
It's a fantastic movie which presents the World in which Thor and his friends and foes undergo their adventures. Being faced with this new exiled status, Thor's character must evolve from a spoiled and self-centered boy to a prince worthy of his father's crown. And this is exactly what this movie is about, with a bit of positive and negative help from the inhabitants of earth. The movie is filled with action sequences, which, accompanied by some wonderful CGI, make it a very good watch. The plot is good for this "introduction", but nothing extraordinary, with a bit of drama here and there and a bit of suspense, but again, nothing that can wow the viewer in any way. The producers decided to take a quite serious approach regarding this one, with little comedy aspects silently inserted from time to time, very good for changing the mood.
As said before, it's an intro movie, designed to present Thor and his fantastic world, clearly leaving plenty of space for future sequels, which is to be seen for its action and CGI, aspects at which it is very good. It is a bit left behind by its plot cannot raise high enough to impress, but makes this film an overall good.
