I am a sucker for a good comic book adaptation. And by a good adaptation, I don’t quite mean the comic book fans. I am a girl and even though I love my superheroes on the screen, I am not much of a comic reader. I just love the big screen better.

So it is always fun catching a solid action film with a fun script, interesting protagonist and impressive visual effects. Thor seems to fit that description. What do you think?

Thor starring Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Hopkins, Natalie Portman

Thor (Chris Hemsworth) doesn’t use his powers for the benefit his own kingdom (on another planet) so his father – King Odin (Anthony Hopkins banishes him. He wakes up on earth. He has got great fighting skills that impress even the military trained (Clark Gregg). Will the arrogant and selfish Thor turn into a thoughtful warrior who tries to protect earth, while engaging in a romance with Jane Foster (Natalie Portman)?

Cliff (Steve Zahn) and Cydney (Mila Jovovich) are newlyweds who are in Hawaii for their honeymoon. However the exotic backpacking/trekking vacation gets a little complicated when they learn that there is a couple who have been murdering people on the island. They have met two couples so far: Kale and Cleo – a hitchhiking couple they might have annoyed: the guy seems to be holding a grudge against them and Nick (Timothy Olyphant) & Gina (Kiele Sanchez)- who have actually joined their vacation plans. They seem fun and friendly, yet their eccentricities might be bordering on dangerous.

Now we as the audience know that there’s a murderous couple. We start to play a who- are- the-killers game. It is fun and it is not meant to be disturbing or scary. It is an intriguing movie with amazing scenery. It is more of an adventure than a thriller with interesting characters. I especially enjoyed Kiele Sanchez’s and Chris Hemsworth‘s performances- though Chris doesn’t have that much screen time, he is good at arousing suspicion. He is a talented Australian who I hope we will see more in the future.

The movie is by no means perfect and it doesn’t have the potential to be a cult movie. I don’t mean to give spoilers but you might feel some dialogs could have been better structured. But…forget about what you might call plot holes and just enjoy.
