My Film: 'Thor' 19-5-11

Marvel calls down the thunder with the next film along the road to their anticipated superhero mash-up but will the mighty Thor ride the whirlwind? Cast out from his home in the realm of Asgard (I believe that this is how you spell it) the arrogant battle hungry son of Odin is left powerless in the strange land of mortal men where he must fight to regain his power and overcome his exile and save his home planet. Every superhero needs a good back-story and one of Earth's mightiest heroes is no exception to that. Thor puts together a solid introduction to the worlds left unexplored by other Marvel properties in an surprisingly entertaining fashion. It differs in that it doesn't over do the idea of 'superhero', it doesn't run up and smack you around the face. 

It certainly was better than the Green Hornet so that has to be worth something doesn't it?

A fast film with a super sexy cast including the stunning Natalie Portman, the beautiful and Arian, Chris Hemsworth of Home and Away fame. They are held up by performance from the most beautiful looking man that I have seen for some time, Tom Hiddleston, Hollywood icon, Antony Hopkins and Stellan Skarsgård.

I thoroughly  enjoyed this film and for once, the 3D effects were good rather than pointless.

My Star Rating:

7.5/10 *
