Movie review: Thor

Chris Hemsworth is Thor in the new film

By Sandra Olmsted

Thor, the film, has awesome special effects, and the settings for imaginary realms of the Norse Gods are visually stunning even though they evoke Stargate SG-1.  Patrick Doyle’s score adds majesty to the realms and helps the earthbound settings’ romance and humor.  The script has intrigue, action, romance, and humor although not all of these are of high quality.  In addition to an Oscar® winning director, Kenneth Branagh, Thor also stars many awarding and big name actors, which lend credibility to the film and might draw a wider audience.
