This is one of those movies you rent over a weekend to kill off some
time. I enjoyed the movie, but I don't feel like telling people they
should see it. If you're looking for a fun superhero movie then you'll
probably like it.
The
plot was generic. The plot of survivors from a war trying to restore
their race isn't new. The main bad guy is just an evil, old version
of Legolas. He leads the dark elves against Odin. Their character
design is ripped straight from the elves in Lord of the Rings. To be
fair I think Tolkien based his elves on the same mythology, but they
could have been more creative.
They had an interesting idea of
having Odin behave like a bad guy to show that even "good" can actually
be evil. However, the focus on it is not as big as it should have been.
The best part of this movie is Loki. I'm a Loki fan now. I won't say
anything else about him because it would give away the ending, which is
awesome by the way. The fight scene at they end where they play around
with portals is creative and fun.
I can see why the Thor movies
are not considered Marvel's best. I can't say I was into the first
movie at all. I do not like Natale Portman and the comedic relief. They
are not awful, but they are annoying. Thor himself is not that
interesting, but he does have the potential to be. He is supposed to be
this God figure that is in love with mortals. In the beginning the movie
address this, but then it ends up being ignored.
Overall I like it, but there are a lot better movies out there right now.
