Film Review "Thor"

The God of thunder Thor

Thor is a film that stars the Norse god of thunder Thor played by Chris Hemsworth (Star Trek). Thor starts of in the mythological realm of Asgard where Thor is about to be crowned the successor to the throne of Asgard. The celebrations are soon cut short when the frost giants show up to steal an ancient weapon known as the casket of winters. Thor becomes outraged at the Frost giants bold action and disobeying orders he and a small group of Asgardians go to the realm of the frost giants and attack. The battle isn’t going very well and just all hope is lost Odin (Anthony Hopkins, Silence of the Lambs) shows up and brings them back. Upon their return Odin outcasts his son Thor to earth where he meets women called Jane foster (Natalie Portman, Black Sawn). The film then follows Thor on earth trying to get his powers back and to learn the lesson that his father sent him to earth to learn. He then must use the reclaimed power to retake the realm of Asgard back from his troublesome brother Loki can gain complete control.

If you’ve ever watched Thor the cartoon or read the books then you know that the way he speaks is a bit confusing for example “Waves are but water. Wind but air. And though lighting be fire ... yet it must answer thunders call”. But this film has Thor speaking English and I’ve got to say to sounds good. The film has got to be one of the finest Marvel films the Marvel Studios has brought out in awhile. Chris hasn’t been in much and made his major debut in Star trek back in 2009 and has shot to fame from there and is now set to play Thor again in the upcoming Marvel studios newest project The Avengers and also Thor 2

The film has a mix of action, romance and loyalty and is a film that the whole family can enjoy. The film also has a short after credit glimpse of what is set to happen in the Avengers film.
