Competent Storytelling But Little More

Rating: 4/10 (29 May 2011)

FAIR WARNING TO MOVIE PRODUCERS:After viewing several 3D films it's pretty obvious there is only 1 director who's using the medium in an interesting or innovative way. So unless the name "James Cameron" appears in the credits, don't expect my extra $4 for a ticket.
Thor is a competently made comic book movie, a la Daredevil or Elektra. There are 4 or 5 funny lines in the workmanlike script. And none of the actors, who include 2 Oscar winners, embarrasses themselves. But despite the fact it made a lot of money, I doubt if we'll see a sequel. There's simply nothing very interesting going on here to warrant one. Thor is a one-shot view for people trying to fill in their Marvel Comics movie list.
