Thor
Today I went to see Thor with Lena and Katie. First, let me begin by saying the graphics, visuals, and computer generation was amazing. The movie had many different styles within and reminded me of many different kinds of movies. In the beginning it reminded me of Twister, then Excalibur, 300 (for the battle scenes), and the small love story reminded me of Kate & Leopold. I felt like the love story was VERY poorly developed and there wasn't enough time devoted to believe that the two characters actually fell in love. I also felt that Thor's demeanor changed too quickly and after he got his hammer back everything felt rushed, like it needed more time to develop. I loved the "no-shirt" scene because man, Chris Hemsworth is hot! I also thought the battle scenes and theatrics were pretty amazing. The little pieces of humor made me laugh throughout the movie. All in all, I felt like there were missing pieces, leaving the story incomplete and the movie not as amazing as it could be. I really did appreciate and love the different styles and thought it was worth seeing. I just think it could have been better. On the other hand, Lena loved it so much she saw it twice, so, as always, it depends on who you talk to.

This review is very well written. I am IMPRESSED! You obviously put a lot of thought into it. I have read some of the professional movie reviews and, quite frankly, they are CRAP! They just pretty much say they like the movie or they don't and don't explain why. Your review here on "Thor" is much better. This makes me want to see the movie and check it out for myself. It's very well written. You covered all the bases: graphics, visuals, computer generation. I like the way you talked about the many different styles in the movie and compared it to other movies. I also like that you mentioned parts of the movie that could have been better and explained why. All in All, GREAT REVIEW!!! I'll be watching your blog from now on, especially when I am going to see a movie. I will be checking your blog to see what you thought of it first!
