aloha 2u,
THOR is a Near Miss, close but no boxtop.
directed nay misdirected by the talented Kenneth Branagh
the CGI sets look both cheap and cheesy and the overblown Kirbyesque
(Jack Kirby being the Main Man artist when Thor the comic was launched)
looks fake and plastic.. what this movie needed IMHO was a Micheal Bay
(Transformers) or whoever directed the sparking SALT with Angelina Jolie
now playing on Starz and Netflix..i expected something more Wagnerian
given the source material, of which i am very familiar with both.
CHRIS HEMSWORTH is sparkling eye candy hunky as Thor
but poor Natalie Portman is wasted as his briany love interest,
upgraded from nurse in comix to astrophysicist, in
a role that even Megan Fox could have sleepwalked thru.
since the 3D version was playing nearby i spent $8.50
for cheap wasted 3D specs which added ZIP
to the cinematic experience. as some of the battle scenes
are filmed in near darkness which the dark tinted
3D specs do nothing to illuminate,
go see 2D its cheaper or wait for the DVD.
also most of the movie, a good chunk anyway,
takes place in the New Mexico desert so don't go thirsty.
"EXCEPT FOR CERTAIN SITUATIONS INVOLVING SCIENCE,WARFARE OR DIVINE PROPHECY, THERE IS NEVER REALLY ANY PRACTICAL REASON TO GO WANDERING IN THE DESERT-AND THIS IS LIKELY THE VERY REASON WHY SO MANY PEOPLE ARE INCLINED TO DO IT." Rolf Potts,author "Marco Polo Didn't Go There"
