Thor

Thor liked me. I liked how the creators combined reality with Asgard, how they placed Thor in reality, how they made fun of everything. It was nice to watch in the context of fantasy, which I will never stop enjoying watching. They show a world that I can't even dream properly. And the creators are able to beautifully translate their fantasy into reality. Asgard was really beautifully created. Hats off to the creators for embarking on something like this, and I'm glad they want to make a much more epic story in the future and not just stop at one part. It's not quite a five-star review, but that's probably just because it feels like the creators made Men in Black with a different story. Or an interesting idea cut into jokes and with great actors. Those Men in Black back then were something I couldn't imagine as a child at all. Magnificent Sci-Fi/Fantasy and a comedy on top of that. Thor follows the same line and I enjoy it. Don't I? But there are other pieces that deserve five stars. Anyway, I'm glad such movies are being made. A person then enjoys an unusual story, comfort, pleasantness, and great actors, who are great to watch because they either play completely ordinary people or extraordinary gods. (13/06/2012)

It could have been dull weirdness with a bunch of polished mannequins, but thanks to Kenneth Branagh's pedantic guidance, it became a wonderful fairy tale with mythological proportions, a great degree of noble irony and, above all, the excellent Chris Hemsworth (who devoted at least as much effort to acting as he did to his first-class musculature) and, as always, the irresistible glossator Stellan Skarsgård. It is spoiled a bit by the equally fragile Portman and some stupid flubs in the script (maybe even in the Czech translation) as well as the slightly wooden tricks, but Fenriz doesn’t care about any of that... fans of hyper-effective blockbuster modernity may not be enticed, but for lovers of honest epics with a nice design and a magical atmosphere, Thor's Mjolnir should slap them on the head quite nicely. That’s the right frequency, Kenneth! (20/04/2011)

Perhaps my disappointment with this is caused by excessive expectations based on decent to enthusiastic responses, but even though I was only expecting a fun summer blockbuster, I was surprised at how intellectually shallow and easily forgettable this is. The only positive aspect is Kenneth Branagh's perspective, as he was well aware of the stupidity he was directing and didn't take it too seriously. On the other hand, there is too much genre baggage and pathos in it for my taste. I really didn't expect that I would enjoy Snyder's Watchmen more... Overall impression: 40%, influenced positively by the enchanting Natalie Portman. (06/10/2011)

By the whiskers of Odin, that was superb. Despite its fantasy atmosphere, Thor doesn’t disturb the Marvel universe as much as I had feared. On the contrary, now I have the feeling that it would be worse without him. And the mass of references (beautifully complementing the action) form an excellent foundation for the story and prepare the ground for the biggest event of next summer. Chris Hemsworth is excellent, and considering he isn’t well-known, he did an excellent job, carrying the entire movie on his shoulders without needing his hand to be held by the better-known stars who paradoxically are given much less room. Astrophysicist Natalie is here basically just so that the main protagonist someone to fall in love with and Hopkins to cast our hero out of his home. What I liked was that Branagh exploited the spectacular world of Asgard to the maximum. Midgard (alias New Mexico) serves just as a bridge to the Avengers, but for this story it’s important only to teach Thor (big and powerful) to obey orders. All in all, this is an excellent story just a drop short of perfection. A very little drop. (30/04/2011)

A beautiful fairy tale that manages to illustrate both worlds (based on Thor's realm). I was a little bothered that Thor knew everything. On the other hand, there have been plenty of aliens amazed at cars and so on. I laughed at the scene where Thor walks into the Pet Center and says: "Give me a horse." The film certainly has more positives than negatives, but I'm still a little short of a full count. The 3D was completely unnecessary. (06/05/2011)
