THOR Review

It is Hard to think that it has been 5 years since the Run- Up to The Avengers began. Back in 2008, Iron Man started the Hints to a film about The Avengers which has now become known as the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The films within this Franchise are Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, THOR and Captain America: The First Avenger and With The Avengers set to come out in a few weeks, I thought it was time to revisit these films.

THOR is based off the Marvel comics character and Norse god of Thunder. The Film follows the Young and Arrogant Warrior and God of Thunder; Thor. When Thor puts the realm of Asgard at risk he is banished by Odin to Earth where he meets and falls for Scientist; Jane Foster. Running into problems along the way such as S.H.I.E.L.D., Betrayal and Possibly the End of the Humans, Frost Giants and Asgardians. Thor must learn what it means to be a true king of Asgard and a true warrior

THOR is one of Marvel's greatest films since Iron Man and has probably the best special effects used in a superhero flick. The cast is equally brilliant which consists of Chris Hemsworth (Star Trek), Natalie Portman (Black Swan), Anthony Hopkins (The Rite), Tom Hiddleston (War Horse), Idris Elba (The Losers) and Clark Gregg (Iron Man) aswell as cameo appearances by Jeremy Renner (Mission Impossible 4) and Samuel L. Jackson (Die Hard 3). Another thing you should look out for is the song during the credits which is really good called "Walk" by The Foo Fighters. All in all, THOR is the perfect superhero film that has the right mix of Action, Witty Humour and Romance and is a must see for all ages.*****
