THOR

 

Thor opened up this weekend, and can I say; "Awesome, Action-packed, charismatic, makes you wish you had a Thor of your own movie". 

The movie is about a king who has two sons Loki, and Thor. Loki played by Tom Hiddleston and thor played by Chris Hemsworth. Thor is choose to become the new king. He is about to switch his reign to them so they may keep their kingdom safe from the ice kings who will ultimately freeze their kingdom and kill our their innocent citizens. Thor is chosen to take charge but is ousted from his kingdom after some selfish and childish decisions made during the first 5minutes of the film. This is how he ultimately gets to earth and meets his three friends who are played by Natalie Portman, Kat Dennings, and Stellan Skarsgård. 

Chris Hemsworth is great in the movie, he's funny and charming and is very believable in his character. If your just running into this face for the first time, you may have noticed him from some of his recent work on Stars Trek, and a Perfect Getaway. Australian fans already know him from his soap opera days on the short lived "Home and Away". He is also brothers of "The Last Songs", Liam Hemsworth.

I  though they chose the right person playing this role, and it was amazing to see his transformation from a lanky actor to this incredible man of steel so to speak. He had to gain 20 pounds to make this role believe able, and was said to have been eating more than he wanted to, almost being force fed the food to keep the protein coming into his body that was building muscle. He has now lost 15 pounds and is said to look back to normal.  He could easily transform his body to playing another superhero if he so chose. Which I think he did because he was shooting the new film "The Avengers", right after his role for Thor.  Needless to say he made me fall in love with THOR. (he has gained a new fan) I fell in love with his demenor in the film and how the character presented himself.

 

And his chemistry with Natalie was so visible and electrifying. They held their chemistry to the very end, and the movie wasn't about them falling in love either it was truly on the storyline of him saving his kingdom. I loved on this was just an added bonus you got watch as the story unfolded. There were alot of funny parts and it was odd to see this in an action style film. I would recommend this to every comic book fan, and every action fan. The movie is not Fast and the furious if your looking into a typical "dude movie". It's more than that, its an action packed sci-fi comedic drama love story. 

Critics choice: B+ ....   MUST SEE!
