Thor (2011)



Banished by Odin (Sir. Anthony Hopkins), The Mighty Thor (Chris Hemsworth), powerful but arrogant reckless warrior was forced to live amongst humans. On Earth, he realizes what it takes to become a real hero, the worthy heir of Asgard and (of course) falling in love with mortal Jane (beautiful Natalie Portman). Based on Marvel Comics character and Norse mythology, The God of Thunder is a film that relies heavily on special effects. The design of Asgard, Thor's mythical realm, is awesome and some of action sequences are amazing. The story itself adapts the original Stan Lee for Marvel, add with intentional humour and effort to combine myth and real world, magic and science. Performance department: Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman gave their best, but it seems there’s lack of chemistry between them. Others leave their mark. But it was Tom Hiddleston's Loki that stole the show. Thor may not be the best superhero film to have made the transition from comic book to screen, but it does what the audiences want. Director Kenneth Branagh successfully crafted Thor and made him more than just a man with Mjölnir hammer in his hand.
