Ugh

Rating: 3/10 (5 June 2011)

I'm worried that I watched some alternate universe version of this movie. I couldn't get thru the first 15 minutes. Horrendous acting (for instance: Thor's father in the cave, Loki's (he's the bad guy) threats, female soldier on the ramparts), marginal special effects (for instance: lava waterfall, Loki's wand of fireballs, army on the plains before the city), terrible editing (cuts from Loki to an individual soldier who looks to be standing in a forrest facing Loki, but he orders and arrow attack on Loki and it comes from the plains before the City/Castle...so where exactly is this soldier located? and why is a lowly foot soldier commanding an entire army? Why is the entire army on maneuvers in front of the castle? They couldn't have known Loki was opening a hole in the good guy/bad guy space time continuum...) I skipped ahead in the move for 5 minutes to see if it was just a really terrible opening opening but there was Loki still threatening in his un-demonic threatening manner and Thor trying to say something that sounded credible.
Sorry....just can't get behind this one despite the fact that I'm old school D&D and really wanted to see a great movie in this vein since there are so terribly few that ever make it to the big time.
