Back Cover Blurb:

The world has many heroes… but only one is a god. When the arrogant warrior Thor (Chris Hemsworth, Star Trek) is banished to Earth from his homeworld of Asgard, he must fight to reclaim his lost powers. Pursued  by an invasion force sent to destroy him, the fallen God of Thunder must rise to the battle and learn what it takes to become a true hero. Natalie Portman (Black Swan) and Anthony Hopkins (Beowulf) also star in the blockbuster adventure critics are calling “thrilling, entertaining and cool” (Harry Knowles, Ain’t It Cool News).

 

.MOV-e Summary:

When Thor disobeys his father and is banished to Earth, he has to learn valuable life lessons in order to become worthy of wielding the mighty hammer of Thor again. While on Earth, Thor befriends three scientists in New Mexico who try to help him in his quest. He later learns that an unexpected enemy is set out to destroy him and must overcome his own arrogance in order to embrace his destiny and confront his enemy.
 
Thor is a heartwarming Superhero story that touches on the characteristics that define a hero. The acting, plot, and special effects are superb and this is most definitely a must-see.
 

Len:

I must admit that I didn’t really devour Marvel Comics as much as I did DC Comics when I was a kid. I knew about Thor and always saw the comics on the shelves, but never bothered to get into it. A dude with a hammer? I mean; really!
 
 
That said, the Marvel movies have converted me and I’ve enjoyed each and every single one that they’ve released to date. I might even start getting the comic books. And yes, Thor is no exception. It’s a brilliant movie with a great cast, and getting to like the character takes no effort at all. I can’t wait for the Avengers movie! Oh yes… be sure to watch the end credits; not only will you be treated to the AWESOME Foo Fighters song, Walk, but you’ll also get to see a dum dum daaaaaaaa moment that will shed some more insight into the upcoming Avengers movie.

Clarisse:

I LOVED this movie! I think the director and writers brought the story line from the comics very well across to the viewers and I felt that there was enough background info to pick up and enjoy the whole story. I was sad when it ended because I did want more. The acting was great, the actors were YUMMIE and I thought it was one of the best super hero movies I’ve seen in a long time.
