Visually Stunning, good story,a touch of humor and some action

Rating: 7/10 (17 February 2013)

this review is for all the non marvel comic book o philes.
I am not one, I was able to get into this movie because i am familiar with the story of Thor. but i think this telling of the story stands on its own without the marvel or mythical background.
anyone not familiar with the story of Thor , it , to me , resembles the story of Satan, ...an infinite being just under the head god , gets a big ego , gets stripped of power and cast down to earth...there's a bit of a parallel
it has a medieval feel when in the world of the gods and of course it/the story takes place on two different worlds -the world of the gods and the world we know today on earth.
The first fifteen minutes, to me, were just visually amazing, I usually don't like movies filmed in darkness, and the god world has that dark background quality , but this was done well, what i usually find annoying was , in this movie , a well maintained accent that actually worked ,
I had heard bad reviews of this movie, and i have seen my share of bad movies- This is not a bad movie -- The action is good , story line is not convoluted, and it/the movie does this quirky, touch of realism, humor every once in a while that makes you chuckle. Thor does its job , it entertains, it doesn't take things too seriously, and i think it is a "re-watcher"---
