![]() ![]() "Thor" is an entertaining adventure based on the character of the comic book published by Marvel Comics. ![]() ![]() When the Machiavellian Loki sends the Destroyer to Earth to kill Thor, he needs to retrieve his hammer to save not only the humans, but also his Allfather Odin and Asgard from the evil Loki. Thor unsuccessfully tries to retrieve Mjölnir that is protected by agents of the government SHIELD. Out of the blue, Thor is hit by Jane's truck and she takes him to the hospital. In Puente Antigo, New Mexico, the physician Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) is researching a phenomenon in the desert with her professor Erik Selvig (Stellan Skarsgård) and her mate Darcy Lewis (Kat Dennings). Odin also throws his hammer Mjölnir to New Mexico and orders that only the one that is worth will get the powerful hammer and achieve Thor's powers. In order to avoid war against Jotunheim, Odin removes the powers of Thor and exiles him on Earth to live among the humans. The arrogant Thor (Chris Hemsworth) decides to attack Jotunheim with his stepbrother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and four Asgardian warriors and disobeys the order of his father Odin. When three Frost Giants break in Asgard trying to retrieve their source of power, they are destroyed by the Destroyer. They take their source of power and bring it to Asgard and they start an armistice with Jotunheim. In 965 D.C., in Tornsberg, Norway, the Frost Giants from Jotunheim led by King Laufey (Colm Feore) attack the locals, and the Allfather Odin (Anthony Hopkins) and the warriors of Asgard protect the humans and win the battle against the invaders.

After Insomnia I was just in awe of what the man is truly capable of and here in the states they always use him as a window curtain. But as usual Stellan Skarsgard is totally wasted. At least Branagh threw in Skarsgard for the Swede inside joke. Chris Hemsworth was fine as Thor and Hopkins played a good Odin, but it was the human characters that kill this one. First why is she even in the movie? Second, what did she do other than stand there and let her hair be blown around by the off screen wind machines? It felt like all of her scenes were filmed in one day and she looks so bored in all of them. What the heck is Natalie Portman doing in this movie. They're basically riffing Superman to the Nth degree here. It's a superhero movie so you know what the plot is. Plain and simple - when the humans show up the movie dies a slow death.
