Viewing Notes

I’ll flat out admit that Thor was never very appealing to me as a comic book hero. Norse mythology just doesn’t float my boat.

I wasn’t expecting much here, so when compared to that, it’s actually a fairly entertaining and serviceable movie, even if it does feel like a filler/bridge between Iron Man and The Avengers.

Stan Lee’s cameo was actually pretty good here, and there are some great, light hearted, laugh-out-loud moments that let you know that this movie isn’t going to take itself too seriously.

Kat Dennings, Natalie Portman, Chris Hemsworth et al, do a good job in their roles; nothing standout. Being a huge fan of The Wire, it was cool to see Idris Elba as Heimdall, even if he was barely recognizable.

Since it’s been ages since I’ve read Avengers or Thor, the plot reveal after the credits didn’t do anything for me, but I’m ok with that.

REALLY looking forward to seeing Captain America, and then also Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye in the Avengers movie. I’m a Renner fan ever since 28 Weeks Later and The Hurt Locker.
