Review – Thor

I first reviewed this years ago during its first run in theaters, but the review vanished from my computer. So today I did a re-watch. To the extent that I remember what I originally wrote, my opinion remains unchanged. I was unpleasantly surprised at some of the changes made between the comic books and the movie adaptation, particularly the decision to transform the hero into a jock dumbass. The effects are good, particularly the stylish interpretation of Asgard. But for the most part this serves as a set-up for future MCU installments rather than a good story by itself (something I probably didn’t see the first time around). Mildly amusing
