Thor is about a God who is banished to Earth for being blamed by his father for starting a war, which was really created by his brother Loki to screw Thor out of becoming king of his realm. When sent to Earth he becomes a mortal and falls for some local tail played by Natalie Portman. However Loki knows Thor will receive help to return so that will lead to an epic conflict at the end here.
The things that do not work for Thor is my opinion is first off the romance angle is boring. Then second off some of the super hero stuff does not work either for me. Plus some of the smaller parts I thought were really corny here too.
Whats works here is the fantasy production design, the cgi renderings of the realms, the fish out of water comedy and most importantly the Shakespeare angle. Kenneth Brannagh knows how to direct actors when it comes to Shakespeare. Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, and Anthony Hopkins all do an excellent job here. Especially Tom Hiddleston this guy knocks the character Loki out of the park, I cared more about what that guy was doing then what was happening down on Earth.
So I say go see this movie, its a good way to start off the summer movie going experience. This also made excited about the three other superhero films that will be released this summer. Those films got some good competition here.
