Uh.

I probably shouldn’t have gone to the cinema today.

Oh well.

 

Just saw Thor.

I liked it.

There was really no chemistry between Thor and Natalie Portman’s character save for girl-ogles-the-hot-guy. And they come together with all the inevitability that can be afforded in a Hollywood movie but it’s not coming out of left field so I suppose it’s all right.

Other then that, though, it was good. The character and set design look like they stepped straight off the pages of Jack Kirby’s work. And to do that and not end up looking hooky is impressive. I mean take the destroyer for example:

It’s done very well.

I also like Loki. We all know going in that he’s going to evil (anyone who doesn’t needs to read some basic Norse mythology) but I was worried they were going to just make him stupid evil, evil-‘cause-the-plot-says-I-am-evil. Thankfully they gave him reasons. Yeah it may just be daddy-never-loved-me-like-he-loved-Thor-and-I’m-jealous but that is his character.

 

 

( I’m going to go into spoilers now so be warned )

Here’s hoping the Avengers manages to deliver on all it’s promised with these movies.

 

By the way this fic really sums it up. Massive spoilers for the whole movie.
