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.

It may be that when we no longer know what to do we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go we have come to our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.

—Wendell Berry
