AWFUL! I registered just to review this garbage!

Rating: 1/10 (1 February 2012)

Let me start off by saying that I normally use IMDb to look up actors, see ratings, decide which movies to check out, and so on. I usually agree with general ratings. But this - this horrible film compelled me to actually log in to write my first review.
Within the first 15 minutes, I knew something was terribly wrong. But IMDb had this listed as 7/10, so I kept watching. Mistake.
First of all, everything about the Norse mythology here was way off. OK, it's an adaptation from a Marvel comic book. I can get over that and just focus on entertainment value.
Nevermind, I was wrong. From the cheesy, sci-fi convention costumes to the overblown special effects, there was not one, single good part of this movie. Seriously. The only halfway decent part was when Thor first tried to take back his hammer, and that little infiltration scene would have been better off in some sort of spy thriller action movie (of course, of dozens of soldiers, one would think at least one bullet would have been fired).
The plot was sickeningly predictable. I could predict half the lines and paths of this movie 10 minutes ahead. Well, other than the awful one-liners that the writers must have thought that most people would be incredibly stupid enough to get a laugh out of.
Thor starts some static with the frost giants. He gets banished. He finds himself mortal. He finds his hammer, after everyone has a Sword-In-The-Stone-esque go at it. He predictably can't pull it out, as the movie wasn't nearly over.
He's predictably captured. He's predictably rescued at the behest of the gal that he predictably falls for. She's predictably put into danger. He predictably learns a lesson about being so cocky, and ends up getting his hammer back, and saving the day.
This is EXACTLY why I download my movies first. So I don't waste money taking friends out to see awful films, and so that the DVDs I do buy aren't piles of $10-20 regrets.
I'm once again bitter at Hollywood, Marvel, and Paramount for releasing this awful piece of garbage. I hope the writers and producers have short-lived careers. Mostly, however, I'm shocked at the general IMDb audience for rating this travesty any higher than a 3. Shame on you.
The next time a friend of mine tells me they want to watch this, I will vomit to emphasize how horrible this movie is.
