mariness

Based on the lousy trailers, I arrived at Thor prepared to snark away. To my surprise, however, this turned out to be an awesome popcorn flick and a lot of fun, thanks largely to the performance of Chris Hemsworth as Thor, with his, yes, this is ridiculous, but just roll with it attitude, which entirely made the film, and various amusing dialogue bits. Not deep, or anything, and if Natalie Portman is entirely believable as a Hot Chick she was considerably less believable as a Serious Scientist, but you can't have everything.

Still. I'd gone there to snark. And if snarking a film where the lead refuses to take himself or any of the dialogue seriously is difficult, well, I was going to try anyway, even if I will be the first to admit this is not one of my better attempts. Films need to be bad for that.
