Super bad super hero movie

Rating: 2/10 (11 March 2012)

So tedious. So banal. So painfully predictable. Muddled action sequences that lacked any originality or tension and the dialogue, virtually every bit of it, was a cringe-worthy cliché. Luckily I watched this on Netflix so I could speed through the stupid parts, and by Odin, there were lots of those. This was the worst superhero movie I have ever seen and I have seen a quite a few. The acting wasn't to blame for this farce. I think the actors did a good job, considering what they were given to work with. However, the script writers should have their crayons confiscated and Branagh would do well to leave this dubious accomplishment off his resume. I grew up reading the Norse legends of Thor and Loki. I love the story of how he and Loki visit the land of the giants and the trials the giants set before Thor. That's real storytelling. Even the Thor cartoons are better than this movie.
