One of two of the highly anticipated prequels to next summers The Avengers, Thor is bound to do outstanding in the Box Office. With all the Superhero movies that have come and gone to those we are still waiting on, do we need another Good guy bad guy superhuman battle for the sake of humanity. My answer is..... why the hell not.
Directed by Kenneth Branah(best known from his role as Professor Gilderoy Lockhart in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets). Im interested to see how he handles an expected Blockbuster with little experience as a major movie director.
Thor(played by virtually unknown Chris Hemsworth(Kirks dad in star Trek)) is a God among Gods who's arrogance eventually forces his father Odin(Academy award winning Sir Anthony Hopkins) to send him to the realm of Earth for a reality check. Upon landing on Earth he is hit by a car occupied by Jane Foster(yet another Academy Award winner Natalie Portman). From there it seems this movie takes the usual role as a good vs evil superhero movie with the occasional witty one liners for some laughs. Without his powers Thor learns respect and love for the human race which humbles him. With the Hammer of Thor buried in the desert and found (As seen in the after credits of Ironman 2) Thor retrieves the Hammer, regains his powers and saves humanity which leads to eventual recruitment into the Avengers for next years expected release.
Expect some more avengers making their debut in this film as Hawkeye is being credited in the cast and i believe i have heard Scarlett Johansson may be making an uncredited appearance as the Black Widow reprising her role from Ironman 2.
The special effects appear to be well done and thought out, and with the supporting roles of 2 Academy Award winners with multiple nominations (Renee Russo has 2 nominations and is in this)the acting is as solid as I have seen for a superhero movie, proving that this genre is not just for kids anymore.
Im giving this movie a 8.5 and more Reviews before the Release to come.
