Whosoever holds this hammer...

Rating: 8/10 (13 February 2014)

Growing up, I was a huge Thor fan. It was my favorite comic book. I never came across anybody else who liked it that much though. Over the years as more comic movies started being made, I held out hope maybe one day Thor would be brought to the big screen in a respectable movie. Finally that happened with Kenneth Branagh's Thor. This is an excellent movie with drama, romance, humor, and action. It's quite simply one of the best Marvel has put out so far and a personal favorite of mine. For comic fans, yes they change a few things but they keep the heart of the story and characters intact. As one lifelong Thor fan, I have no complaints. He's a character many said for years would be impossible to sell a movie about. But those people have been proved wrong. There's not much else I can add except to echo the sentiments of many other reviewers that the cast is great, the special effects are solid, and the story is smart and fun.
