The latest Marvel film release introduces Thor the god of thunder to the big screen. Thor who has become an arrogant warrior, gets cast out of the god's realm of Asgard by his father Odin. Odin takes away his power and sends him to earth to live amongst the humans. Meanwhile back home Thor's trickster of a brother Loki gains control of Asgard. On earth Thor begins to fall for a scientist name Jane Foster who helps him get back on his path just in time to battle forces sent by Loki to destroy him.
Marvel is really starting to get the hang of moving their comic book heroes/heroines to the big screen, and as a major fan of the franchise, I must say: "Thank you!" It has taken sometime, but after a few setbacks like Daredevil, Elektra, Fantastic Four, I think they may have a winning formula.
"Thor"spends a good amount of time on the character development and you can really get a sense of how he grows throughout the film. Marvel managed to fit in sufficient back story of Asgard and creating the rivalry between Thor and Loki as well, which will play an even larger role in the may 2012 release of "The Avengers". The special affects are phenomenal without stealing anything away from the story. I am happy that Marvel has finally started to open up and intertwine their stories and characters. We are getting crossovers now which all is part of what makes the Marvel Universe. I recommend this film as it has something to offer everyone. For all the Marvel fans, look for the July 2011 release of "Captain America: The First Avenger"
