 Now you know by now that the past few summers been filled with superhero movies, superhero movies Yeah, it's a big thing. We've covered a lot of them I guess you know pretty much beat this whole genre to death But there's one in late 2011 that we didn't cover and we really try to nail it now. It's hammer time We're gonna pound this genre into the ground. We're doing Thor. Yeah Let me just first say that in the wealth of superhero movies. We've had so far. This was the worst You're the worst. This movie sucked. You suck. Look at it. We're feuding. This is what we do I mean the characters let's start with that Christopher Helmsworth Chris for short. Thank you Great character. He played Thor really well and the other other characters or other actors I should say that have tried out for the role. There was a good selection of taking him Oh, his brother tried out Liam Hemsworth, which everybody knows. Then you have like Anthony Hopkins Who I thought nailed it as the father. He actually didn't know what Thor was much like you and I going in But he liked the father son dynamic in the script There's really no other characters to speak of in this film I have no idea what Natalie Portman was doing here a huge actress coming off a black swan Oscar winner she was in it because the director Kenneth Brennig or whatever his name is he He's known for Shakespearean type movies like Henry the fifth and he kind of brought Shakespeare back to the mainstream. So when he took on this gig, she was like, yeah, I'm in I'm all in He could have slept with their took her sister hostage. There's no she had no business in this movie Just discrediting Loki in this thing and he was a great villain He had the brother the jealous brother dynamic with their Hemsworth It was incredibly generic and the turning point of the film was when he finds out He's part of the ice group or whatever. They are like vanilla ice and in company The turning point of this review is when I stab you No notable characters you also got Renee Russo back from a six-year hiatus from acting Welcome to your five minutes on screen time. That's pretty much it and then you have the gatekeeper of whatever that rainbow bridge was called The bifrost can we talk about that first awesome What is with these like sci-fi fantasy films and their stupid names for both characters and set pieces the bifrost Loki and all these other well, they're based off of both comics and North mythology and Norse mythology horse mythology I don't know cat Denian's also in it to add a little bit light-hearted humor to the film What is she is she the daughter is she like the long-lost like 20 year difference and friends like I mean She just has no relationship to these people She got a comedic timing and that's what the film needed It will all the drama you can't rely on scars guard for that because he's just the villain in every role and He's the the brilliant scientist in this he did a he did a fine job You know he's segwayed into the Avengers nicely from this so you haven't seen that as well All right, let's talk about some of the crappy plot points in this film first of all Let me just start by saying nothing happens the highlight of the movie is when Loki can apparently control this giant robot from a different realm puts him on earth to just blow stuff up with the worst effects ever And then Christopher Helmsworth has to go get a Hammer and just beat him to death. I'd agree with your statement for the first 20 minutes of the movie Nothing really happens other than amazing action, and I didn't care about a plot at that point I thought you'd like this a lot more than you did because it's got a very gladiator Res kind of script to going with it. You get Loki who's the jealous brother. He never lived up to his father's expectation And now he is kind of like on this war path of Have the destruction if he will to teach his father a lesson I mean, let's talk about the moral obligation here of the king and to Thor when he tries to teach Thor a lesson saying We can't just go in vengeance and retaliate against the ice people and but it didn't really pan out for me because They did come into the kingdom. They did break the truce. They did steal from Asgur Bach or whatever this stupid planet is called Asgur and Nothing happens from that you find out later It was Loki that set the whole thing up But there was just no retaliation and there was just nothing really resolved and I think that's my whole Anthony Hopkins has seen some shit. He's been through a lot of battles You know, there's there's lessons to be had by everybody in this film. Did he make a pork hull? Yeah, probably but we're really showing how Hemsworth Thor is kind of off the wall crazy at the beginning It's just this young brute who wants to just fight first talk never and then by the end of the film He grows as a character All it took was Natalie Portman to come into his life. It took some love Took some learning. I mean his father bans him I mean, that's about as impactful as you can get when your own father your flesh and blood Tosses you from Asgard onto this shitty planet earth and says good luck strips your powers The only thing Thor has to his name is his strength in the height of the dark night and the remake of Spider-Man and The Avengers coming shortly after I just think this one kind of you know didn't live up to the hype Well, I do agree that a few films have come out lately that have surpassed in quality such as Dark Knight Rises and the Avengers I'm not going to discredit this thing. So I'm going to word at 15 Rainbow Bridges out of 20 Mainly because it does come to a slow in the middle section there, but it picks back up by the end Well, this is probably one of the worst superhero movies that I've seen in some time I'm gonna go ahead. I have to give this 10 out of 30 rock hammers Like a Thor hammer, but it'll use his works on a rock. Well, it's ducking the rock, you know Tell us what you think about the movie Thor. Let us know where it ranks in your list of all-time superhero movies is it up there with the Dark Knight Rises Or is it down really low with X-Men first-class? You gotta agree that it's barren Iron Man 2 It's the same. Wow. Wanna just review this? This is movie feuds Let me start with that line because I said huge actress like three times And I met huge ass Hugh Jackman. We're going Actually, he talks him down after he destroys this little tiny town that you live in How are we cutting this in? How are we cutting this in? I'm looking at the floor and you're still rambling. Well, I mean, this was probably one of the worst superhero movies that I've seen so I'm gonna go ahead and give it five out of 15 Ice hammers
