Thor could have been SO MUCH MORE!

Rating: 5/10 (17 May 2011)

This movie had the potential to be, for lack of better word, epic. But it was not. The movie was good, but it could have been extraordinary. The story moves along much too quickly for the audience to develop any real connection with the characters. But there are a great deal of action shots, especially towards the first half of the movie that most people are going to really enjoy. The use of storyline from Asgard and the nine worlds is brilliant. This movie has the potential to make so many different categories of viewers happy because of the choice of story and actors, but I don't know why the director and writers failed to develop it fully? If you're going to spend that kind of money on the movie, why not push for serious completion? The movie felt seriously rushed. Frankly, I'm a bit disappointed, because I had high hopes. Nonetheless, I would watch it again for sheer brute fighting scenes. The movie does manage to get your heart pumping with adrenaline, which is a good sign. The 3D was well incorporated into majestic and powerful scenes, so kudos to the digital artists for that one! THIS COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH MORE!
