Synopsis (courtesy of imdb.com):<\/strong>
\nThe powerful but arrogant warrior Thor is cast out of the fantastic realm of Asgard and sent to live amongst humans on Earth, where he soon becomes one of their finest defenders.<\/p>\n

My Take:<\/strong>
\nAmongst the entire Marvel Comics universal, I find Thor to be the most uncreative of the bunch.\u00a0 He was based completely on an ancient Norse mythology with an updated suit and cape.\u00a0 The lack of creativity of the superhero translates extremely well into this movie, which unfortunately means this movie is also as uninspiring and longwinded as the Marvel\u2019s version of Thor itself.\u00a0 The movie is nowhere near the quality of X-men, Iron Man or Spiderman and at best to be as good as Elektra and Daredevil.<\/p>\n

The movie opens its first act by setting things up and provide a bit of thematic (overly) melodrama and into a cliche second act that moves back and forth between Earth and Asgard. The heart of the story rests here as the correlation of details and interpersonal relationships drive the unfolding events that lead to the finale.\u00a0 It\u2019s not drama, it\u2019s not action.\u00a0 The movie is one very long un-narrated narrative.<\/p>\n

On the other hand the screenplay is rather decent and contains a good amount of nicely integrated humour, OK-ish character development, and excellent special effects.\u00a0 However, the movie visuals, although look good in 3D, is nowhere as good as the 2D version due to too many things being thrown at the audience, a big turn off which fortunately balanced out with perfect sound recording and surround mix which essentially makes this movie a true sound demo.<\/p>\n

Skip the 3D version, just get the 2D version.\u00a0 Your eyes will thank you for it.<\/p>\n
