THOR THE MOVIE

Anyone who knows me knows I love the “Old
Norse Vikings” and I like the much newer “Minnesota Vikings", too.
Personally, I prefer the real Vikings who roamed the seas in search of new
lands and had their own mythological gods like Thor, the god of Thunder, and
Odin, his father, who ruled the realm of Asgaard where they lived. Marvel has
published comics about superheroes for years, which included Thor. Recently,
they decided to make movies portraying their comic book superheroes—Green Lantern, Captain America, Iron Man and Thor. The movie, Thor, takes place in a time long
ago, when a mighty but arrogant warrior, Thor, finds disfavor with his father,
Odin, and is stripped of his powers and cast down to Earth landing on a desert
in New Mexico to live with us lowly humans. Of course, the first person he
meets after his crash landing is Jane, who becomes his love interest while he
tries to get his hammer back and find his way back to Asgaard. Nothing of
course is ever simple and Odin puts a stipulation on removing the hammer from
where it is stuck. "Whoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall
possess the power of Thor." Loki, Thor’s brother who really isn’t his
brother at all but is a Frost Giant, causes more problems by trying to make
himself King and sends a Destroyer to Earth to kill Thor. Thor is played by
Chris Hemsworth, who definitely worked out for the show as he was a beautiful
display of well-toned muscles. Just looking at him would’ve made the whole
movie worthwhile, but I thought they did a great job on the storyline, effects
and the visual they created for Asgaard was amazing. I loved the movie and
can’t wait for Thor 2 coming
out in July 2013. There couldn't have been a more fitting way to end Syttende
Mai then by watching a film about Thor, the Norse god!
