Thor: Definitely worth seeing, but not as entertaining as the latest hit movies

Rating: 5/10 (12 August 2016)

Thor 2 was a thrilling sequel to Marvel's Thor movie series, and the movie branches from Thor and The Avengers. Loki, depicted by Tom Hiddleston, plays an important role in saving the world, which is unexpected because he played someone who tried to destroy the Earth in Thor and The Avengers. Jane Foster, portrayed by Natalie Portman, played a more useful person and proved her brilliance while working with Thor, played by Chris Hemsworth. The top box office movie taught me some Norse mythology, useful for English class, proving the film not only fun but educational. I learned that there were brother and rival gods named Thor and Loki who had a father named Odin. They all lived in Asgard. Tom Hiddleston fans rejoice!
This movie, however, ranks between unnatural and natural. On previous reviews I've defined what I call natural, which is when a superhero movie makes the audience feel as if they are part of its world, among the bystanders. While this film was wildly entertaining, it does not line up well among the other superhero movie greats, such as Spider-Man with Tobey Maguire and the new Marvel and DC Comics movies. Lately, these movies have been getting more and more action-packed and adventurous, causing my previous ratings, such as this one, to go down. While Chris Hemsworth definitely fits the role physically, the acting was not exactly on par; at least, it still caused me to cringe a bit.
This movie ranks a 5, only because movies such as the Revenant are ranked 10 and other comic book movies have been much more interesting and captivating than this one.
