Surprised some of the nerds of CP hasn't started a thread about Thor yet.
Just got back from a matinee of a movie that I thought looked pretty stupid, and was pleasantly surprised.
I know nothing of the comics, I didn't even know who Thor was until all the Avengers talk after Iron Man came out. I have no idea if the movie was true to the comics, but I don't care. I enjoyed the story and truly had fun watching this movie.
Chris Hemsworth was very slick. Funny when he had to be, serious when it was called for and he pulled it off. Natalie Portman had her moments, but a couple times came across as the annoying scientist.
Would have liked to have seen more of Thor with full powers fighting on Earth, but that would be my only complaint.
For fans of The Wire, check out Stringer Bell(Idris Elba) in a ridiculous costume as the gate keeper.
Overall, a pleasant surprise. 7/10

Oh and for the uber nerds, there is a scene at the end of the credits, but it wasn't that great and probably not worth staying for.
