Thor (Chris Hemsworth), the son of Odin (Anthony Hopkins), challenges his brothers ayre to the throne, and as punishment for his arrogance, is sent to Earth to live among the humans and loses his power. While on Earth, he falls in love with the scientist that found him, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman). Falling in love teaches him humility and gives him a new strength that he is required to use when an evil force is sent from his homeland of Asgard by his brother, Loki, who has taken over the throne and used it for his own evil purposes. I've always found Thor one of the more boring of Stan Lee's creations. He's just not as cool as the likes of Spiderman, Iron Man or Wolverine, and the movie keeps my opinion of the character as stable as ever. There are some fairly solid performances from Hopkins and Hemsworth, but Portman just doesn't make the impact you would expect. Thor just doesn't work as well as other "Marvel Studios" classics.
