Wasn't great but it wasn't bad

Rating: 7/10 (9 May 2011)

Went to see Thor because the trailers made it look interesting. I will start with the look of the film which really was very good. The Asgardian planet was impressive and the effects were mostly believable (except for one particular scene on a bridge). The beginning sequence offered a lot of promise as it was pretty quick to get going and quick to set up the concept and the characters place in the story. Maybe it was too quick because the rest of the film seemed to take that quickness lead much to the detriment of the last portion of the film. I have to say the dialog was snappy and the humor was not over the top or silly. What turned out to look silly were some of the more dramatic parts; the dialog there failed in a lot of the most important scenes. Also I agree with a lot of the critics that Thor's transformation into egoless, humble guy was way too quick. Again this speaks to the rush the movie was in to get to the next fight scene or special effect. All in all it was worth seeing once but not multiple times. 7/10
