It's A Good Look!

 

Well, today I got a little time off I wasn't expecting (Texas Ranger was sick) so I got to watch a movie!  After taking little man to the doctor and picking up some medicine, we arrived back home with a movie we bought while shopping at Target.  At last, the...well...last of the Avengers...Thor!  Yeah, I know his movie came out before Captain America but I didn't get to see it in the theaters so Thor was the last Avenger I got to see.  Well, technically speaking I hadn't seen Hawkeye either since he is in Thor but he didn't rate his own movie.  Neither did Black Widow but at least she was in Iron Man 2 longer than 3 minutes!  If I was Haweye and Black Widow, I would look into joining the super hero union so I could get equal time.  Just saying!

Anyway, I had no expectations for Thor.  I had no idea what his story was all about other than he has a hammer.  I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised!  These super hero movies just keep getting better!  I was wowed by Captain America and I was also wowed by Thor!  I like Captain America's story a little better because it all takes place on Earth but Thor was very cool. 

The man chosen to weld the hammer is Chris Hemsworth.  I'm just going to say it.  He is yummy!  I thought Chris Evans looked hot as Captain America!  Chris Hemsworth as Thor totally blew him away!  Is it the costume?  The accent?  Both!  The title for this post comes from a set of lines between Thor and the Earth woman he falls for.  After seeing Thor for the first time in his "costume", this is what is said...Jane: "So is this how you normally look?"  Thor: "More or less."  Jane: "It's a good look!"  You ain't kidding, Jane!  I once heard that heroes are suppose to be guys that women want and men want to be.  I don't know if guys want to be you, Chris Hemsworth, but the other is true!

Oh...let me stop right here and say that a previous post of mine was wrong.  If I am not mistaken, I listed Loki as an Avenger.  Nope!  He is Thor's evil brother!  Who knew?!  Yes, comic book fans everywhere but not me!  I am guessing that Loki shows up in The Avengers movie.  That is where the confusion came in.  So, sorry to all you comic book geeks!  I meant no offense.

What is Thor about?  Well, Thor is an immortal.  The god of Thunder.  He has a hammer that he uses to kick some serious butt.  He is a jerk at first.  He gets banished to Earth.  (We all know how hard THAT is to deal with!)  He finds love and is humbled.  Returns to his home planet to deal with his evil brother.  Oh...and his dad is Sir Anthony Hopkins!  There you have it! 

Seriously, it's a good story!  Not only is the action good but there is a love story which I always like!  SPOILER ALERT - I'm not kidding...I'm about to talk about the end of the movie!  Stop reading!  OK...I really like the fact that Thor leaves Earth telling Jane he will return for her.  He kisses her hand.  AWWW!  Then Jane lays one hot kiss on Thor!  You go, girl!  Once on his home planet, Thor has to make a tough decision that destroys the way he can come back to Earth.  The end lines are these..Thor: "So Earth is lost to us..."  Heimdall: "No. There is always hope."  Thor: "Can you see her?"  Heimdall: "Yes."  Thor: "How is she?"  Heimdall: "She searches for you."  You see, Jane is a scientist and had found the traces of the bridge that runs between worlds.  The same bridge Thor used to travel to Earth and then had to destroy.  Heimdall, the man who controls the cosmic bridge, can see her and knows that Jane is looking for a way to find Thor.  Again...AWWWW!  I hope these two get a shot in The Avengers movie when Thor, somehow, finds a way back to Earth.

 

If you like action and adventure, I would recommend Thor to you!  If you like a love story, I would recommend it too.  If you just want to see Chris Hemsworth without his shirt on, you can do that too! :)
