Thor Story Line and Short Reviews

In the early 1920s, two of the most prominent Hollywood directors were so in love with science fiction and fantasy film-making that they made a pact that, once one of them died, they would collaborate on a project that would really push the boundaries of imagination. The result was the film Thor, directed by the late, great James Cameron and part of Marvel’s ever-expanding cinematic universe. Here are some reviews on the film if you want to get ready for its much-anticipated sequel.

All About Of Thor Story Line and Short Reviews

Thor Story Line

Thor: Ragnarok Effect Of Loki At The end of  the first Thor film, in which a young Loki is lifted out of his life and into Asgardian royalty as the thunder god. By part 2 , however, we saw how difficult it was for him to retain that position, losing Odin’s trust after going very briefly insane and stabbing his brother . As role-models go this isn’t great, and in an effort to bring him back into line (and at the same time also sign a deal to launch Marvel’s early 2000s comic universe , constructing its first “core” film around rather unimpressive heroes) Odin tells his son that Loki will have to kill Thor if he wants away from Asgard.

It was interesting, then, that this story element wasn’t explored again; maybe it would’ve just been too difficult on the audience ?  Or maybe, in hindsight, the writers decided that to be a bit too on-the-nose about Loki’s heritage?

Anyway: apparently not for Thor 3 . With war sure to come between Asgard and Earth , Odin sends his son off as again he finds himself in England heading into battle.both characters are meant to need each other (after all she’s been tasked with making Asgard safe again) and their meeting is quite violent and explosive .

Thor with his hammer, Loki with a staff. Perhaps this is too lazy an element of the story? Odin has ruled for so long that it makes sense; he’s expected to still be able to play the game better than anyone else, but that skill wanes after such a length of time?  I mean I’m not sure how you can manage someone who thinks they’re going senile.

Exposition

In the last Thor movie we got a little scene, again showing Odin looking out over Asgard (menacingly) from above. Here he has no such illusion of being in charge and is somewhat overwhelmed to look down at his new home:

For some reason I found this  compound which housed several ‘unhealthy’ people chilling; they had dialogue like that was supposed to be intelligent

One thing I dislike about the interpretation of Thor : it tends to make his problems with Loki seem like a lot more than they need to be.  Loki at times feels largely ordinary, much as you’ll find in almost any family; he’s sometimes seemed completely stable and for all the time we see him give off depressed vibes that doesn’t feel believable. We have no reason here why conflict should explode between them so violently.

Rising Action

The film opens with a flashback that almost immediately turns into the most quotable Thor  opening ever:

The dramatic opening of this sequence would make more sense to me if it actually wasn’t just another take on an already established ploy; maybe I’m confused.  Surely even though Loki doesn’t know what he’s doing, there’d be far fewer people suffering in part because everyone knows these things happen (how!).

Clearly they’re not just fighting Loki, so I suppose there’s ‘The Light’ as our friend put it.  However instead of just being annoyed at him and wondering why he hates the woman who brought him up – surely if we’re not sufficiently introduced to his relationship with her that is also a big issue here:

Climax

It can be rather disappointing to see such an obvious example of ‘every scene must have a warm up’ in action.  We establish that Thor is lost on the world for several years, but we’re not given reason about why this should take so long as well as how he became separated from his father and brother – all simply because Odin has no idea where they are:

And if there’s anything worse than just reading words out loud it.

As Odin reaches his destination, a random guy wheels out from the dark to be held captive by him.  Even if this is meant to contextualise Thor’s actions taken on earth at some point or other (such as in The Avengers ), it still feels like you need something more than that description and just one of these would work.

Falling Action

In the final act, Loki is able to bring out giant eagles in Asgard.  We’re not given reason until way end of the film why this should be possible or outlined what his motivation for doing so should be – even if it was a comic plot twist that’s nicely designed:

The way this was clearly meant to work out is, he gets a message from Tony saying that what’s happened on the farmhouse has been intercepted.  He puts something into The Tesseract in order for it to do something which comes back and attack Odin – as well as Spiderman I guess… So we know Thor’s injured (which must have hurt) but hold off attacking until they can make a massive thing under.

Conclusion

On it’s own, Thor is a fun film with great CG work from Weta to help make Asgard look straight out of Mark Zuckerberg’s bedroom – that at times doesn’t quite gel together ( as seen above ), and some very basic plotting in which we’re given flimsy reasons on why things are done how they were done by Odin.

Thor Short Reviews

The movie has since become one of the most re-watched films in Marvel’s library, as well as my personal favourite.

The final third of Thor is ignored and aside from that first scene this Final Act gave me a chuckle as it was like reading fanfic on screen: Anywhoo, I might have to do a review on Thor: The Dark World.  At this point in time yes, I will also be reviewing it with my brothers but for now that’ll wait till later as he wants our thoughts bigger than the 3 main female characters

Here’s hoping Mordecai makes a comeback.. Come on Marvel, we all know you want to bring him back.  Give the mid-credits scene… and give Thor that ending! In fact, give this some closure for you self please Marvel. Jeremy Hathway alias J H

Final Thought

The latest science-fiction blockbuster, Thor, was a mega-hit! It’s an epic saga that has been touted at the box office and lauded in other quarters as well. The story follows the comic book character Thor, prince of Asgard and father to the superhero Thor. The film is a very entertaining action-packed science-fiction film, full of highly-detailed special effects and visual effects. So here is a quick film review of Thor.
