Rating- 2.5 stars
Thor released few months ago. It had reviews much better than i had expected. So I added it to my to-watch-once list. Last night i had the chance of watching it. Well people I am not disgusted, nor elated after watching, I am just underwhelmed.
It is not a bad film by any stretch but is not in exciting in the least.I am told plot structure is based on Shakespeare’s King Lear. Well if that is the case it doesn’t do to well in drama department. Performances on the other hand are decent, with actor doing what script required off them. Chris Hemsworth looks the part of Thor. Natalie Portman plays one of the weakest Superhero love interest in quite a while. Anthony Hopkins is majestic as Odin.
Fight with the Iron giant is very ordinary. For me, when Avenger movie comes this Thor will serve as a backstory and nothing else.Thin plotline is the undoing for this film. Talking of Avengers, there is an appearance of Colonel Nick Fury did make me curious for Avengers film. It sure has to live up to all the build-up from all the movies.
Give me Del Toro’s Hell Boy 2, any day and i will watch it again. Why do I compare it to Hell Boy, you might ask; It is because villainous side in Hell Boy 2 had a similar setting to Thor and it was far more dramatic and action packed.
There is a sequel in pipe line for Thor, I don’t have much hope, let’s see…
