There were only two ways that Thor waswas going to go. It was either going to be aweful or ok. I know that sounds kinda synical but those movies that introduce you to the hero are never that exciting. They can build up your childish hopes and dreams but so long will be spent establishing who everyone is that the big action piece and the character arc will have to happen within half an hour. Lets face it, kids these days have no attention span to speak of and if you want them to buy the movie once it comes out on DVD you have to keep them egaged. So the formula is a quick introduction, a few explosions and a dramatic heart stopping milisecond just before the happy ending.
Luckily for me and my €12.00 spend the movie met the higher end of my expectations. Ok, so I am not fan boy but I did want a little more than big muscles and cheesy speaches and I got it. The movie begins with the son of Oden legand and builds the characters of Thor and his very suspicious brother. It then goes on to investigate Thors great anger and how it will come to his ruin. So basically there is a story to keep you going.
Everything happens fairly quickly and the conclusion is a little rushed but the characters are well developed and interesting enough to keep you engaged. It is a good start. A definite three star movie but one that will bounce you on to the inevidable sequal and the avengers.
