Last week I went and saw Thor in 3D at Vue Cinema, Festival Place, Basingstoke.
The story of Thor spans present day Earth to the mystical realm of Asgard, and centres around Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior who reignites an ancient war with his reckless actions. As punishment, his father Odin strips him of his powers and banishes him to Earth where he is forced to live among humans. When the most dangerous villain of his World sends its darkest forces to invade Earth, Thor then learns what it takes to become a true hero.
The movie is great fun, and is one of the rare ones that wasn’t too bad to watch in 3D either (although I did have a moment that worried me as they were playing 3D trailers and the glasses were not decoding it properly… thankfully the movie was fine, so it looked like the trailers were not done correctly…) and was not as bad as I feared it would be. There were some funny bits in there and the action was good too.
The cast was pretty good, and Athony Hopkins was a brilliant choice as father of Thor, Odin.
If you are looking forward to the upcoming movie The Avengers, then this will hopefully be something that will keep you going until Captain America: The First Avenger is released later this year. It’s great fun, and I recommend it to comic book and Marvel fans as well as people who like a bit of an action movie with a few laughs in it too.
Thor is rated 12A and in cinemas now.
