This movie is all about fun! It’s neither dour nor heavy, and the comedic elements kept it light. (Coffee cup smashing scene was a favorite of mine.) Taking Thor out of Asgard and placing him on Earth as a “God out of water” was a great premise.
Chris Hemsworth was born to play Thor. He’s perfect for the role, and this movie is a solid setup for a possible franchise – not to mention the upcoming Avengers flick.
There are minor issues, like the relationship between Thor and his brother, Loki. The relationship with Natalie Portman’s Jane seemed a bit rushed as well.
But you don’t go to see a movie like Thor for serious character development – you go for the amazing action scenes, the great special effects, and the fun! It’s in both 2D and 3D, but since the 3D was added after shooting, I opted for the 2D and don’t feel I missed anything. I’m also a sucker for Norse mythology, so I really enjoyed that aspect. And you have to watch for the Hawkeye cameo! They are really prepping for the Avengers movie…
Not perfect, but a hell of a lot of fun!
