Was expecting worse, but was surprised, worth of Norse Mythology

Rating: 8/10 (6 August 2011)

I was not expecting much of Thor. Only personification I saw was in a TV Movie about Hulk with the late Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno and was pretty bad and static. Other one that was acceptable was a Thor-like guy in "Adventures in Babysitting" where one of the children was a Thor fan...
Well, put some Shakespeare into Norse Mythology in a Marvel setting, along with S.H.I.E.L.D. agents (including agent Coulson, which we see more here...) and you get this movie.
Chris Hemsworth, though a bit static, gives a good performance as Thor, though we don't see him perform much, but give credit to Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Anthony Hopkins as Odin, as well as Stellan Skarsgard quips and you got a good mix here. Kudos to Natalie Portman here as well who helps out Thor get acquainted to our world, so different from Asgard.
Hoping Thor will be better in action in the upcoming "The Avengers"...
And Stan Lee has his moment, which is funny....
