Thor

Shawn and I went to watch Thor, and I couldn't really find anything I didn't like about it. I liked that they kept the integrity of the story and had a sense of humour about a lot of the cornier scenes. It's always refreshing when the characters can make fun of themselves or their situations; it takes the pressure off from being too serious and makes the film as a whole less contrived. The battle scenes are spectacular, and both realms of Asgard and Jotunheim are visually stunning. I liked that Stan Lee's cameo was short and funny, not a cheap way to advertise a sequel. Tom Hiddleston was magnificently evil as Loki, Anthony Hopkins was powerful and regal as Odin, and Natalie Portman was adorable as Jane. But, really, who really cares when you have Chris Hemsworth and his delicious six-pack gracing the screen?

Rating: 4/5
