Movie Review: Thor


Thor, in his arrogance, gets banished to Earth (Midgard) as a punishment by his father, Odin. While there, he meets the beautiful scientist Jane Foster and her friends, who are desperately searching for answers to a phenomenon that was caused by Thor himself. While Thor is in Midgard, Thor's evil brother Loki plans to take over Asgard, Thor's home. Can Thor reclaim his powers, save his friends, and save Asgard before it's too late?



 The moral of this movie is don't be arrogant and prideful. Pride goes before a fall, as the Bible says, and this movie reaffirms that. It also values loyalty and courage, as the poster says.




There was lots and LOTS of swearing in this movie. Thankfully, I had Clearplay, so they censored it, but -- jeez! They swore like five times in the first half-hour, and swore about fifteen times throughout the whole movie.


Loki

The character development was really good, especially of Loki. I won't give anything away (I'm trying my hardest! :) but it was very good. The guy who played Loki did an amazing job -- he just looks the part, doesn't he? :)



The cinematography was awesome -- Asgard is beautiful! :) And I'm obsessed with eyes now .. photography of eyes, digitally enhanced eyes ... and the Gatekeeper's eyes were creepily beautifully awesome.


Aren't his eyes weird? They're like that the whole movie!

So, I'd give it three out of five stars, two stars taken away for the swearing. Other than the swearing, though, the movie was really good. There wasn't a lot of romance in it, either -- Thor just kisses Jane's hand. Have you guys seen the movie?

I have not seen it, but it sounds really good! Captain America was probably my favorite so far, but the Avengers was really great as well.
