Hanging Around The Closet

Rating: 7/10 (16 November 2013)

When I go to a Marvel Comics film I expect to see action and this one has that. Usually there is some humor, and this one has that too. It does show some of the spirit of Stan Lee as he is on the crew that worked on this one.
Overall a solid movie entry to the Thor series. It does has a talented cast - first movie I have seen Natalie Portman in since she turned 30. So far the maturity of the big 30 is holding up well on her.
There is some very good things for Thor to build on here. While it is not perfect, it is solid. For anyone who left the theater early, better come back and check some very important scenes that happen during the credits.
Anthony Hopkins once again adds another solid performance as Odin to his resume of films.
The film does contain itself to about 2 hours which is great as some of these films get so wrapped up in action that they get boring when they go beyond that time and get boring.
The settings are impressive, maybe even more so in 3D but I did not watch that version. Thors hammer rings up another score.
