This is Hollywood at it’s intellectual best. Natalie Portman, geeky queen of hearts ( since V for Vendetta and Star Wars 1-3) reunites with beefy actor Hemsworth (he of the Star Trek cameo ) , fellow Oscar winner Anthony ” The Hannibal” Odin Hopkins, and a full array of CGI to bring the old Norse God some real new meaning. Natalie is beginning to look a bit frail though.
Very entertaining and very light on brain movie. Unfortunately for Thor, Loki steals the show every time. Loki is a much better actor too and his presence tells us this will not be the last we see of feuding brothers
Oh yes, Asgard is lovely in this time of the year.
DECISION STATS 
Fun time at the movies, regardless of what type of other more-serious, Oscar-bait projects are out there now as we speak. Good review.
