Really good film, very enjoyable and much better than some reviews suggested

Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2011)

Im not going to go in depth here, want to keep it simple. I really enjoyed the film, didn't know the history of Marvels Thor in any great detail but enjoyed his story and the universe it was set in.
The guy playing the lead was very good and main supporting cast were excellent too. Given that some of the reviews had described the film as average I think they have done Branagh a great disservice as I thought the film was very well directed. Marvel fans will enjoy, I think Thor fans will really enjoy it and the fans who just like superhero fans will be varied as Thor isn't your typical marvel superhero.
Special effects were very good and Asgard was very well realised and visually interesting. Liked Hopkins as Odin but Rene Russo was not used enough. Really looking forward to the avengers now and I hope there is also a sequel to Thor and Branagh directs again.
