Charming but boring

Rating: 6/10 (5 June 2011)

On Earth it's a charming fish out of water story where Thor and Portman+Skarsgård have some nice little moments. There's more comedy than expected, although I didn't laugh once it's quite nice. There's more opportunities here though, as Thor doesn't have any questions about Earth. Would benefit from being more like Starman.
Didn't like the Asgard bits though. The scenes with Hopkins and Thor are good, but besides that it's rubbish. Valhalla doesn't look like a tough viking place at all, too much shiny CGI and plastic gold. The story of Thor's evil brother is also way to typical to make me interested in the least and the bad guys (frost giants) are quite boring.
