Thor- PG-13
By Jonathan Goodsell
Thor is the second film in the build up towards The Avengers. Starring Chris Hemsworth as the warrior Thor who gets banished from the heavenly realm of Asgard for his arrogance. While stripped of his powers and trying to survive on earth, his brother Loki plots to take the throne away from his banished brother and dying father, Odin (Anthony Hopkins), king of Asgard.
This is the only superhero film I've actually enjoyed. Cliches were down to a minimum and it actually had a good plot. The acting was also really well done. Chris Hemsworth did a brilliant job playing the arrogant Thor and Tom Hiddleston did a great job playing the confused and conflicted Loki. Anthony Hopkins also once again pulled off a great character in Odin. The introduction of Natalie Portman as the love interest Jane Foster was rather entertaining as her and Thor awkwardly meet, him getting hit by a car, and then them falling for each other though their personalities are separated by a universe. The effects and designs of the heavenly Asgard were stunning and very beautiful. The thing I probably loved the most about this movie though was the lack of explosions and CGI effects ever so prominent in other hero flicks. They focused strongly on the plot, which was excellently simple and well done. The script was rather clever and there are several lines that were instant classics to me.
The whole movie was rather clean. You see the rather chiseled Hemsworth walking around shirtless for a couple minutes. There is also a rather passionate kiss between Hemsworth and Portman near the end. Language was at a very low minimum with only a small handful of words. The violence was actually rather low for a superhero flick too. In the beginning scene, there is a lengthy battle with Thor and his friends against the Ice Giants. There is also a battle at the end with Thor against Loki and a scene when Thor tries to break into a S.H.I.E.L.D facility to retrieve his hammer. There is very little noticeable blood throughout though, you almost have to be looking for it to see it.
This was a rather entertaining film and I would recommend it to anybody. So in my reviewer opinion, Thor is getting a very well deserved 7.5/10
