Comments: Really, when you look at any superhero movie, they're all quite silly. Grown men dressed in latex-esque suits, flying around big cities whilst saving the world. It's up to the writers, directors, and actors to make you forget all of that and buy into what's happening onscreen. Luckily, Thor is able to do that, because it's definitely one of the crazier stories for a superhero (I guess it's quite similar to Superman in a way). But the film is certainly good, and it's both exciting and funny, so I bought into all the crazy shit going on. And I can't express enough how much I love Natalie Portman. She's definitely in my upper echelon of women I'd like to marry (with the one and only Alison Brie at the top), and she's great in Thor. I really bought into her obsession with Thor, and I thought they had great chemistry together.
Luckily, I read the reviews for Thor because I really didn't have plans to see it in theaters. I wanted to watch it, but it seemed like more of a rental for me. The effects looked awesome and were great to experience on the big screen; I was a little bored by the generic score, sadly. But this actually brings me to my one major complaint: 3D! Thor wasn't filmed for 3D, so for fuck's sake, please let me watch it in 2D (I guess that's more directed at the theater than anything, because some theaters had the 2D version available). It wasn't terrible 3D (cough*Piranha*cough... which hurt my eyes at times), but it's just completely unnecessary. Fucking studios jumping on fads like a drunk chick at the bar. OK, enough rambling.
