The Asgardian Avenger Review(Thor)

This Friday I saw Thor in 3-D I-Max.  This was my first I-Max movie since King Kong back when the Franklin Institute opened their screen in Philly.  Now back to Thor, I think that Chris Hemsworth impressed me more then I expected. After big casting like Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man and Edward Norton as The Hulk (although he is being replaced with Mark Ruffalo in the Avengers(2012)) I was hoping to see a big name as the Norse god of lightning *cough cough* Brad Pitt *cough cough*.  The idea of Norton and Pitt back together made me think of Fight Club and how amazing it could be if the two had super powers, however this was not meant to be and for good reason.  Pitt couldn't have gotten into the shape Hemsworth is in.  Thor is one of the biggest superheroes in the Marvel universe so he needed to be big and muscular and that's exactly what he was.  The thing that really made me love this movie was the way the movie was shot.  The angles that Kenneth Branagh(Gilderoy Lockhart from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets) used in this film were amazing it was more then a close up here a wide screen view of action there but more artistic angles, for example transitioning into a scene where Hemsworth and Natalie Portman have a heartfelt conversation and the camera transitions in at a slanted angle and it allowed you to know something was wrong.  It was done very very well and I recommend seeing this film to anyone who enjoys big summer blockbusters and/or are super comic book fans. I give it a 7/10
