Let me just start off by saying that if your a huge fan of Thor this movie does a lot of things right. However if you don't really care for Thor than the movie pry won't change your mind. I personally like Thor as a character, and like the world and characters that surround him, and that's what takes center stage in the movie. The action sequences and scenes that take place on Asgard are so well done! Kenneth Branagh did a great job capturing the tension between Thor, his half brother Loki, and father Odin. Now I know I said earlier that if you don't like Thor this won't change your mind about him as a character but that doesn't mean that you won't enjoy the movie.
For starters, the story is very good and faithfull to the comics in the sense that Thor gets banished from Asgard for his actions and must prove himself worthy if he wants to become the hammer weilding God of Thunder again. While he's down on Midgard (Earth) Nattalie Portman's character Jane Foster helps save him and set him on the right path back to worthyness. They do end up falling in love, but that part felt kind of forced to me because they didn't even know each other very well and she seemed to be more infatuated by the fact that he thinks of himself as a god.
The Destroyer armor is also present in the movie as we all know but his battle seems fairly short. You can tell that they are trying to focus on Loki being the main villain and becoming the evil trickster we all know him to be but I still would hav enjoyed a bigger fight between Thor, The Warriors 3 and The Destroyer. There is also a couple of cool chameos worth mentioning, but I don't wanna spoil the film for those of you that haven't seen it. I will say that Stan Lee has one of the best chameos in a Marvel movie to date. Also stay past the credits for a little something extra that I now know was directed by Joss Whedon.
Bottom line: Go see Thor! If you enjoy it as much as I did you will be clammering for more and pry see it twice.
