Thor and why it sucked

My name is Steve, I am a 38 year old Chef who is unable to hold a knife due to a nerve problem in my arm, so, I've decided to start a blog about everything.This is Matt and hopefully he'll have some input also. Or not.

Hi Matt!

I just watched the new movie, Thor. So, upon first impressions, i see once again that Anthony Hopkins is playing himself again. Watching him act is like watching paint dry. All in all , there is a good line up of actors and actresses in the film, unfortunately, they are all in supporting roles. I would also like to say, i expected more from Kenneth Branagh. In the main role of Thor they put an unknown, Chris Hemsworth, who actually isn't that bad of an actor, but chances of his career going any further after this movie are slim to none. Within about 15 minutes, we get to the first battle scene, and all i can say is , boring and predictable. On top of that, it looked really fake. Whoever did the CGI on this movie should probably get fired. As you can tell, this movie isn't doing it for me so far.
So , Thor falls to Earth and starts yelling things like, how dare you, I am the mighty Thor', and what's supposed to be funny, is that he gets tasered at first by Kat Dennings and then in the hospital he gets a tranquilizer. We get it at this point, he's Thor. What's even worse is , in typical bad movie story telling, the writers make sure they throw in as much of the characters stories as possible so you get to know them. For example, Thor gets home from the hospital after he escapes from restraints and coincidentally gets run over by Natalie Portman. Again. Ha-ha. Humor. After they get back to her house, he talks about eating and she starts telling him about her ex-boyfriend. And next scene , they're all best friends. That was fast. I don’t think I'm going to make it through this movie.

After breakfast Thor says goodbye and SHIELD takes all of Natalie's equipment. But thank the Gods that Stellan Skarsgård is there because he is a fountain of useless information. He conveniently knows the story of Thor from childhood stories and he's had dealings with SHIELD in the past. Very convenient, but im sorry to say, it makes for a very dull story. And the love story begins, not even 1 day passes and Natalie is falling in love, didn’t see that one coming. And just like that, he walks into a fully secured SHIELD/Military base, but its okay because he put a rain coat on. So after beating up a few guards, he gets in one last 5 minute fight with a big black dude, and when he's done, not one guard as made it to the chamber that the hammer is in, which is the only reason the base is setup anyways. Go figure. But go figure, they just let him go. And that's about it for me, I'm going to try and finish it up tomorrow, as of right now, I want to vomit. Once again Marvel lives up to my expectations in making another terrible movie.
All in all, this movie turned out to be boring. The plot was predictable, which , to me is the worst thing to have in what could have been a good movie. They jammed too much into the time allowed. You have to figure, most people who are going to see this know who Thor is. If they didn't, they could have told the tale of him in about 5 minutes and then put a great story after that and you got a good movie. This was simply another rung in the ladder. What it did was introduce Thor for the upcoming Avengers movie which, i hope is gonna be good. The sad thing is, Hollywood continues to destroy comic books, and since I'm a huge comic book fan, i have to say, Hollywood, you suck ass! Believe me when I tell you, don't see this movie!
