Movie #69- "Thor" (2011)

I don't really have much to say about "Thor".  I applaud the people at Marvel for brilliantly setting up "The Avengers" movie by linking them to "Iron Man", "Captain America", and "Thor".  Kenneth Branagh initially seems like an unusual choice for director, but given his past efforts, going from the classic storytelling of Shakespeare to the Norse mythology of Thor isn't that huge a leap (the CGI, that's another story).  "Thor" is more concerned with the back story of Thor and Loki as well as Thor's arrival to Earth than any battle with evil forces.  Again, plot points are set in motion in preparation of "The Avengers".  Better than "Captain America", but not as good as the first "Iron Man" movie.

Rating: 7/10
Movies I've previously seen: 5
