movie review - Thor

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2015.03.24

This is a super-hero movie based on the Marvel Thor comic books, which I never read. Thor is given a challenge to earn his place as heir to the throne of Asgard. Asgard is plunged into war and Thor - "minus his powers" - is on Earth. It's got a decent cast and is general engaging with a plot and strong characters and challenges at different levels. For one of these endless Marvel super-human things it is at least straightforward and has a point. Our seven-year-old son enjoyed it for "movie night".

Recommended.

... I'll let you in on a secret. Big people are exactly the same as little people. They're selfish, squabbling children whose motivations are jealousy and greed. No one becomes big when the hit adulthood. They just become better at hiding how small they are.
