Thor

I was expecting the movie to be of same calibre as the Iron man franchise, but sadly, it's more joke than humanization of the characters.

The Good

1) Excellent Special Effects through and through.

2) I like Loki's actor. He shows good emotions in his scenes. Potrays a character conflicted and tormented, leaving in the shadow of his brother, Thor.

3) Chris Hemsworth (Thor) is really an eye-candy. Boy is he built like a tower!

4) Jeremy Reiner as hawkeye cameo was coowl to watch. Looking forward to more of him in the Avengers.

5) I like the black guy character guarding the Bifrost gate in between worlds. Very intimidating with those contacts, and powerful.

The Bad

1) Natalie Portman miscast as Jane. Rather bad acting from her side. It's more fun and games than a serious character.

2) Lack of humanization. Thor's character went from arrogant, selfish to learning and accepting humility in almost an instance... which is poor character building in my opinion.

3) The big finale battle is a tad cheesy. Featuring a super weapon killing the hero, and then the hero comes back to life, and beats the crap out of the weapon. The should have had more variety for the final showdown.

4) Useless sidekicks. They should have explored their skills a tad more. (Although I did like the sword wielding man with a mustache and light beard guy... there's one scene featuring him almost shirtless, where his pectoral cleavage was revealed... HOT)

5) Anthony Hopkins did his part (Although I would rather Odin be recast). They should have explored his character a bit more, and his relationship between Thor and Loki. That would make the rivalry all the more convincing.

At the end of the day, this only passes as a popcorn summer movie. 2.5/5.
