another wasted opportunity

Rating: 6/10 (20 April 2011)

firstly the 3d conversion is utterly pointless, makes the film look very wishy washy, now to the main complaints, this is a film about a super hero, well, he is actually Thor for about 12 minutes in a two hour movie. the rest of the time is spent in utter drivel, too much time on the human characters, we see Thor fly and use his hammer in one short action sequence at the start and again another one at the end, inbetween is boring relationship stuff and not good comedy, the actors are great the look is good, but please just stick to the comics. another origins story that we do not need, i grew up loving Thor probably my favourite of the marvel heroes, and wanted to see him being Thor, for most of this movie he has lost his powers and is actually almost secondary to the story, who writes this stuff, why do we need all this backstory rubbish, Star wars showed that you could jump straight in and the audience will get it. what a waste
