Thunderous?

Thor (2011)

Marvel drops another one off this production line this time directed by Kenneth Branagh and staring Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman. Thor is exiled from Asgard to earth by his father Odin in the hope it will teach Thor some humility.

It seems this is one of those films where too many people signed on before there was a script as there are big problems in the middle portion of the film. The film hinges on Thor's change and his falling in love but neither feels earned and as such it really hamstrings the film. When it comes to the effects in the film it also seems that this is a case of another film where CGI has run wild and maybe realism has been over looked a little. Ultimately this seems like a film Marvel feels it has to get out the way to get to it's Avengers film and really could have done with some more thought being put into it as there is a lot of wasted talent and potential here.
