Good fun

Rating: 7/10 (6 May 2011)

I have to admit I went in with high expectations hoping for better movie than all the recent marvel releases so far. As a superhero movie it was great, with lots of subtle little comic references. Though it did make Thor seem a little overpowered compared to the other heroes. In fact he is such in good shape that I he seems to make captain America redundant.
To my surprise there wasn't much action at all, but Chris Hemsworth and Anthony Hopkins give spectacular performances that keep the suspense going. I thought this superhero movie especially appeals to those who are always complaining that superhero movies always end the same, guy gets girl and beats bad guy(thor is little different).
The only bad segment in my head was the involvement of Natalie Portman, aside from the fact that she can't act, Thor and Jane bonding felt a little too rushed. It would have been better to either give them more time or just have a general "falling in love with people concept" to replace it.
Overall its a fun movie, that I would probably recommend.
