I don’t enjoy comic books, but movies based on comic books can be fun. Thor was not one of those movies. Way too much time was spent showing me how awesome CGI scenes can be. Asgard was crazily overwrought. I’ll need to watch Metropolis again to cleanse my palate. The bad guy was a pussy with a remote controlled giant robot. I was embarrassed by how Natalie Portman ogled and stammered every time Thor was within pheromone range.

The biggest surprise was Chris Hemsworth, who I found to do a decent job of playing the meat-headed doofus with a hammer. I spent much of the movie amazed by how much Keira Knightley looks like Natalie Portman. Imagine my embarrassment when the credits rolled.

Overall, Thor does what I’d guess it set out to do, but I wish it hadn’t.
