My reviews on movies are simply how I see them. I hope you find some of what I say as helpful in choosing what movies to see or avoid.

How Hard Did Thor Hit?
This action flick was exceptional. Of course, that's just my view talking. Many people thought this film lacked body because it didn't follow the action pattern. This pattern is where an action film traditionally starts with a small conflict, has a middle larger battle, and then the final grand battle. Thor's beginning fight was the largest. Though to me, it had to be. He had all his godly powers in the start of the film so naturally the first fight would be huge. If you have seen Thor you would understand how it would be difficult to top that beginning battle. But if you look beyond this break of tradition it isn't a bad film. The man who plays Thor (Chris Hemsworth) does a solid job and is entertaining to say the least. I had doubts when I heard they were making this movie because it's never easy to put a godly figure on screen and have it be believable. Truthfully, I was somewhat dissapointed in Anthony Hopkin's performance as Thor's father Odin. But it can't be easy to play an absolute divine monarch, so I will cut him some slack. If you asked me if this movie was worth seeing, I would simply answer "yes". So if you haven't experienced Thor in all his thunder god powers, I suggest you give it a shot.
