Thor Movie --Review

I just caught up with the new 3D movie, Thor and I felt there was not a proper review in the internet which did the film full justice. And, I wanted to rectify that by writing what really captivated me and the audience in general about the movie.

I got the afternoon show at 4:15 and I was very excited as this was my first 3 D movie!
As it was a case of novelty for me, I was the person trying to catch the snow-flakes till the guy behind told me to stop catching imaginary flakes and watch the movie. But that didn't dampen my movie experience at all.In fact, by that time I was engrossed into the movie.

The movie begins on Earth wherein we're hauled into the blowing winds which rapidly becomes a tornado by a astro-scientist Jane(Natalie Portman)and her two friends Erik and Darcy.
From here, as a prelude, we are transported to the realm Asgard(ASS-GUARD, sorry I couldn't resist).
In Asgard we're introduced to Odin(Anthony Hopkins- Shining through again), Thor( Chris Hemsworth-- who looks absolutely yummy!!)and his brother Loki(Tom Hiddleston- Portrayed Loki without any hysterics) and a multitude of Thor's loyal comrades.

The realms Asgard and Jotunheim are on the brink of war and Thor arrogantly lands on the enemy realm and a fight ensues. Odin gets angry, relieves Thor of his powers and banishes him to earth. He throws the mighty Hammer so that it could be held only by a Man fit for it. How Thor changes ,retrieves the hammer and fights off the evil forces form the story.

The character sketch has been done well and the scenes with Jane and Thor a pleasure to watch, poignant and sweet. The effects and the details into the realms Asgard and the frost realm Jotunheim are breathtaking. There's never a lull in the story line and it moves at a brisk space.

However, I felt the part where the mighty Thor's change of attitude citing Jane a reason was a bit far-fetched. There were very few scenes that could lend credibility to this. And, we see Jane the brain behave like a simpering school girl during the few scenes she's around Thor.

How a virile, arrogant guy, finds a woman behaving like a school girl with her first crush, attractive, is beyond me. As a female, I'd rather have Jane maintain some womanly dignity. Thor doesn't need a girl, he needs a woman to pull his mighty rear a peg or two.

And, yes. I did drool during the scene of Chris Hemsworth without his shirt. That's an added bonus. The men and the boys get to see the action and effects while the girls and women get to see Chris and the way he kisses Jane's hand.(Ahh.. Sigh..)

Overall the movie is a family entertainer!
My Rating--4 stars
