[ No Spoilers ]
You already know from the previews that Thor is a visual masterpiece. You won’t be disappointed in the FX. They did a fantastic job of building Asgard. It is epic . . . I mean EPIC. I’ll see this movie again on DVD just to see the beauty of it.
If you want your movies to be full of more than just great FX and action then you won’t be disappointed – much – in Thor. Without going into details the story is pretty well woven and delivered by a fine cast. The only nit I’ll pick is with the love story that develops between Thor and Jane – that can’t possibly be considered a spoiler, right? Everyone had to have seen that coming.

The RunPee app tells you the best times to run & pee during a movie so you don't miss the best scenes.

The relationships between all the characters are very well done and explored. Anthony Hopkins did a particularly outstanding job as Odin. But, and this is so often the case in action movies, they sort of gloss over the love affairs that develop. It feels like the writers/directors said, “Look, he’s amazing looking. She saved him, sorta. They shared a few laughs. So of course they’re in love. You can see that, right…right?”
Yeah, not so much. But whatever. Blah, blah, blah, they’re in love. Lets move on to more visuals and action.
Aside from the fine acting and amazing FX I have to say that Thor is a pretty funny movie. It’s actually funnier than a lot of comedies because comedies these days seem to have forgotten how to do comedy – but that’s another story/rant. Anyhow, there are numerous LOL moments in Thor for the whole audience. And it made getting peetimes very difficult. I hate it when I have a good peetime going and then they ruin it by throwing in a funny scene 3 minutes in. 🙂
What did you think of the movie? Am I right about the Thor/Jane relationship or did I miss something?

Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂
Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.

I got disappointed. Not really disappointment. It’s the feeling that I shouldn’t have watched it or this is not my type of movie. Sad

Just saw Thor this weekend and I think your review is exactly right. In a word, it was unbelievable. Unbelievable FX and an unbelievable (as in not convincing) love story. I was surprised by how much I laughed out loud. Didn’t see that coming. Maybe it was the fructose-induced delirium caused by my $18 large popcorn and soda. All-in-all it was good fun at the movie house.
