Plot Summary
The warrior Thor (Hemsworth) is cast out of the fantastic realm of Asgard by his father Odin (Hopkins) for his arrogance and sent to Earth to live among humans. Falling in love with scientist Jane Foster (Portman) teaches Thor much-needed lessons, and his new-found strength comes into play as a villain from his homeland sends dark forces toward Earth.
My Thoughts
Not a huge fan of Thor so I skipped seeing this opening Day and waited till about a week later.this movie was disappointing while the effects where top notch which is expected with a movie of this caliber the acting was sub par, Natalie Portman fresh of her Oscar for "Black Swan" in this film felt to me her heart was not in this film and she did it for the money or did it just to be in a super hero moive. all of her scenes to me felt unneeded and she was just there for Thor to have a love interest just for the sake of it.Mr. Hemsworth did a passable job as Thor but it just did not work for me. The supporting actors were okay but nothing special. Overall it seems to me since Iron-Man in 2008 all the marvel movies have gone down in terms of quality but that is just me. Thor is an okay popcorn Summer movie but nothing more than that.
Rating
6.9/10!!! Nothing special here.

When his niece is abducted by a murderous pack of vampires, Priest breaks his sacred vows to venture out on a quest to find her before they turn her into one of them. He is joined on his crusade by his niece's boyfriend, a trigger-fingered young wasteland sheriff, and a former Warrior Priestess who possesses otherworldly fighting skills

I saw this movie on opening Day and to be honest my expectations were not very high so I did not expect much. After the movie was over I honestly forgot much of what I just saw it has no redeeming qualities that would make me really remember anything about it, The acting was okay for a movie of this caliber no stand out performances to mention. It is not that this was a bad film but the fact of the matter is that it was a film that just blends in with the crowd and that for me makes it not worth more than a way to pass away 90 minutes and in the regard it did it's job perfectly. The one part of the movie that was good was the choreography of the fighting scenes those were done very well which was a plus.
Rating
6.8/10!! Passable movie unless you have time to kill.
