Thor be or not Thor be?

Rating: 8/10 (26 December 2011)

While I was as surprised as any Branagh fan, when I heard he would helm a comic book movie, I have to admit, he kept it light and amusing, while still holding onto the threats and delivering a fun character introduction. :o)
Now I can understand, that some people might not like the way this movie is done or are fed up with comic book movies in general. What you cannot say about this movie though, is that it doesn't have a decent enough character or story development. It is cliché, of course, but that does not make it any less decent now does it? It might make it boring for you, of course.
Acting-wise, no one is taking him- or herself too serious. Which is a good thing. I liked everyone in this and didn't feel like the jokes were forced. Of course you could argue about political correctness (Thors "friends"), but that would be nit-picking, now wouldn't it? So if you can enjoy a nice fun little ride of a movie, than I can recommend this to you
