saw it today and i enjoyed it, good popcorn movie, great special effects, great looking asgard and the other realms, etcetera. hemsworth did a good job i thought.....
in regard to hemsworth's physique a chubby woman behind me made a loud "wheww" noise when she saw him onscreen shirtless, hmm, how did that make her boyfriend/husband another chubby think i wonder?
a few things in the movie didn't make sense to me, like for instance i thought asgard was like mt.olympus in greek mythology in that only gods would live there, but in the film you see crowds of "subjects/normal people" there? are they not considered Gods in that asgard realm and therefore should not be with the normal masses or are they seen as just royalty, not GOD LIKE even though they are?
there is a scene where thor and his comrades on horseback go on the bridge (which looked cool by the way) on their way to the frost giants world, and i''m thinking "why are they riding horses at all, thor can fly with his hammer and not sure about the others if they have the power of flight?
loki was born a frost giant but became more Asgardian due to odin's power? is this how the comic book is about loki's origins?
i thought the people on earth the scientists and portman's character should have been more stunned than they were realizing that there are people in outer space/other realms and the Gods of norse mythology are real indeed and in front of them on earth.
overall a solid comic book movie which is saying something since the whole norse mythology and it's dialogue and talk of other realms, the odin sleep, the frost giants, and what not could have been very hard to adapted to a movie and that wouldn't be over people's head and too complicated for them, unlike a simple story like spiderman and superman.
so far it's been getting very good reviews, i would give it a solid two thumbs and a grade of B myself.
