Where are these reviews saying that Thor was AMAZING coming from??? Thor was good, but not amazing. Maybe you have to know the comics for it to be absolutely amazing, but without previous knowledge of the marvel comics, the storyline was very choppy, with many weak points. I found the entire storyline to be shaky at best and a lot of things weren't explained well. They should have put the extra half hour or hour in to explain a few more small details like who SHIELD is, since the after- credits scene seemed to prelude to them being important or to get to know the characters better so you could actually get attached to them. As well, the extra time would've slowed the movie down. I felt like I was in the theatre for only 30 minutes, and I never truly got into the movie since it was so choppy and moved so quickly. I have a decent knowledge of Norse mythology but it was difficult to distinguish characters since they weren't outright named right away. I didn't learn Siv's name till the end and I don't know the names of any of her warriors. As well, situations seemed pretty weak and unrealistic such as the SHIELD agent suddenly releasing Jane's stuff at Thor's request when they made it clear earlier that SHIELD makes things disappear. The first fight scenes were pretty good with tons of action and drama, but the Earth battle was a flop to me. Nothing clever or spectacular happened. It was all VERY predictable. The acting in this movie however was amazing and definitely made this movie good. All the characters were well built and seemed pretty realistic. The cg was pretty amazing too. The verdict? This isn't a must see movie, but it's still a good movie that you'll enjoy.
