THOR


I personally love DC and Marvel comics. My favourite is Batman. But I never like superhero movies. They may do well in the box office, but I mean I never get the same feeling as the comics. The cartoons portray them way better. I have never found a good match in the movies either. I am not saying that the actors acted bad, no, they played their parts really well, but none of them look like them! Come on, Christian Bale was too skinny, Tobey Maguire was too small, and Brandon Routh looked like Clark Kent still in Smallville studying in high school! Ah, and if only Robert Downey Jr. was a bit younger! Well what do you know; finally they decide to make a film about Thor, not the heroes that everyone always talks about, Superman, Spidey and who can forget the infamous Dark Knight?

First of all, the trailer of the movie was not so appealing. Never saw the actor before either. Anthony Hopkins, Natalie Portman and Idris Elba were only known by me. Expectations were not so high. Still I went to watch it with my boyfriend in 3D.

Came out of the theatres, all blown away!!! Best superhero movie EVER! I am not talking about box office success. If you consider all criteria, this superhero movie meets it all! And this is one of those movies where the trailer sucks compared to the movie! I had to google the actor- and Chris Hemsworth did an excellent job! He looks like Thor like crazy; he is the only actor who looked most like the superhero he played. No other actor pulled it off like him! I loved the humour in the movie. The 3D was well done; the special effects did not become corny for it. There was a bit of modification from the actual Thor comics, but hey, we can cut them some slack, all superhero movies do it a lot – and besides, the movie was too good! Had lots of fun watching it and was totally worth my money!

Everyone, go grab some popcorn and watch this in 3D! Trust me, you will enjoy it! For those of you who want to take your kids to a movie, this one is perfect. They will have fun and it is also very appropriate for watching with the whole family! I know you will love it!
