This summer we have a lot of movies coming out based on comic books. I sometimes think that comic book fans are a harder audience to please then book lovers. Which I find to be an amusing thought. I will be reviewing these movies based off of famous characters in beloved comic books.
Last week i saw Thor. Now I do want to set straight that I have not read this comic book, and actually have read very little in the way of comic books. I enjoyed the plot of the movie. Even though I do not know the stories in the comics I could follow what was going on. Which I always like when I can understand a story. The effects were pretty cool as well. I did like how the backgrounds were done and the rainbow bridge was wonderfully done. It could have been really corney but I think they did a good job with it.
I also enjoyed the actors in this movie. All the roles were perfetcly cast. The guy that played Thor, whos name escapes me at the moment, was delightful. The really gave that Norse god feel. Natalie Portman was fantastic. She was a real treat to watch in the movie. The supporting cast was well selected. And my favorite SHIELD agent is always fun to watch.
This installment of the Avengers was fun to watch. The only problem I had with this movie was filmed oddly. During the action sequences would have a lot of movement in the frame, then they would move the camera as well. I like when they pick one. Too much movement make me motion sick. But more movies are doing that now.
Overall I would recommend the movie. I liked the plot and the actors were fantastic. Alos there is a scene after the credits to stay for.
