Let me clarify. Fans of Thor might have a good time here but I've always found Thor to be the most boring of the main Marvel franchises. Probably something to do with him being a god and that's just less interesting. Most superheroes start out as humans or they have some kind of crippling vunerability (e.g. Superman and Kryptonite). I haven't figured out what they do to make Thor look like he doesn't have cheats on or something.

I just couldn't care less about the characters. I didn't sympathize with anything that was at stake and the characters aren't very interesting. The movie is sort of funny and the action sequences are actually very well done but I left feeling like I had wasted my time. I love Natalie Portman in everything but there was no way I could be convinced she's an astrophysicist. People in that industry look like they're in The Big Bang Theory...not Black Swan. She's way too hot for this...Kat Denning was more like it.

If you're a fan of Thor and give a shit about Assguard or whatever, then you might enjoy this movie but I was very underwhelmed.
