That certainly helped it stand out from the crowd.

It has everything - great protagonist, funny moments, nice chemistry between the leads, great effects and Idris Elba :)The romance between Jane and Thor is one of my favorite in comic book adaptations.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-75665128305976578082012-08-13T21:54:06.249-07:002012-08-13T21:54:06.249-07:00I was not sure about this film either, but after w...I was not sure about this film either, but after watching The Avengers, I found Thor to be my favorite part besides Iron Man. So I watched the movie and really liked it and Chris Hemsworth for eye candy didn't hurt either. ;)Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02706544792110129160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-51631575431657693742012-08-12T16:23:20.894-07:002012-08-12T16:23:20.894-07:00A second viewing definitely highlighted the weakne...A second viewing definitely highlighted the weaknesses in this movie (one-dimensional Jane, shallow/forced romance) but I still loved it. Thor could have looked ridiculous but Chris Hemsworth's balance of arrogance and humor made it work. <br /><br />Anthony Hopkins and Loki were fantastic too; the slapstick on earth was great but I wanted more of the well-played Odin family drama!Tippihttp://www.onthescreenreviews.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-71207726617167223122012-08-12T10:32:48.039-07:002012-08-12T10:32:48.039-07:00Part of what I wanted from the film was a guy in a...Part of what I wanted from the film was a guy in armor with a giant hammer smacking frost giants in the face...and so I got that.

It helped that Branagh, Sir Anthony, and Portman were attached to the project. And at least one real Norse actor, Stellan. But Hiddleston was riveting to watch. I would like to see him in other movies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-10555034377497898992012-08-12T08:08:15.659-07:002012-08-12T08:08:15.659-07:00While the storyline was pretty predictable and Jan...While the storyline was pretty predictable and Jane could've been used a bit better, I did very much love this film, and I fully agree that Joss is king! Have you checked out his work on The Avengers? If not, I sincerely recommend it.<br /><br />Terrific review, very well writtenJames Rodrigueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09645619732278939228noreply@blogger.com
