I am back after a sleepy weekend and I bring on the plate THOR based on Norse mythology which turns out to be an utter disappointment. A long journey from my place to the multiplex, some amount of tiring walking and a not-upto-the-grade movie just made the Sunday like one to forget. The movie is like one Mahabharat but one brother against another instead of five pandavas against 100 kauravas. But the movie struggles to hold the plot together.
The movie did start off well cinematically. The visuals makes you open your mouth watching with your mouth wide open wondering the beauty the movie had to offer in the form of Asgard. The 3D effects even leave you wondering if such a place can exist or not. But lets move on, we have seen such things which let you down at the end. The before intermission part keeps you engrossed between an arrogant warrior going berserk with his Mjolnir wiping out a whole army of frost giants and the same person's comical indulgence into the human world. Things turn humorous after Norse culture and Human tendencies go for a romantic attraction. The first half's raw action keeps you waiting for more and the end is also quite intriguing considering the hammer is no more usable but we can guess it that Thor is going to use it. The father banishes the arrogant warrior son to earth to teach him the attributes to become a king but he still goes around fighting with SHIELD agents flooring everyone. So the intermission keeps you wondering whats gonna happen next.
The second half moves almost 1.5x times faster than the first half. I was pretty puzzled what was happening with the incidents happening in fast forward. Thor gets his power back, kills the destroyer as if it were some wooden plank. Here comes the evil brother who has been trying to keep the throne for himself. Whatsoever, they simply hurry through the script and the acting is non existent. The end is predictable, with the good brother seeing off the bad brother. Sacrificing love for home. The move is all so known to the watcher.
Coming to the acting class, Chris aka Thor is there for fighting not acting. Natalie Portman after Black Swan should not have done this movie, with she being almost next to non existent. Loki aka the bad brother is really good at being bad and I should say his acting is standout. The rest of the actors are average.
Cinematic the movie is splendid. Acting wise thumbs down. Ergonomically not worth spending 200 bucks at the multiplex for this movie. Raw action and no script gives it a 2 and half star.
