Ok, Happy 2015 everyone! I am so sorry that I haven't posted, but I am now going to review the movie; THOR.
I'd been hearing a lot about the Marvel movies and how good they are so I decided to start trying to watch them, and I started with Thor. I liked it a lot. It wasn't too cheesy and the actors were decent. But the lessons and messages were good.
At the beginning of the movie, Thor was arrogant and hotheaded, blindly charging ahead without stopping to consider the consequences of his actions. He didn't listen to his Father who had been a King for many years, and by not doing so, caused trouble that could have been avoided. By the end of the movie, he has learned that he needs to listen to someone other than himself all the time.
Loki. Ah the sad, misunderstood, neglected brother who finds that he is really a frost giant. This is the kind of character that I like, and the actor did a great job IMO. But the lesson to be learned here from Loki's plight is that favoritism is never ever a good thing. (not condoning anything Loki did, but he is one of those bad guys that isn't entirely evil just for the sake of being evil, he is more grief driven than anything else.)
Jane and Thor, a classic case of insta-love, but a nice example of how love and people can change you. For the better and sometimes for the worse.
One thing that I think bears pointing out, is that Loki was so blinded by envy and the thoughts that Odin didn't love him, he failed to see how much Thor loved him. Even though they weren't blood brothers he loved him like he was one, and if Loki had stopped to listen, he might have realized things weren't quite what he thought, and maybe they could have mended things. Odin may have made a mistake, but it didn't mean he didn't love Loki, and he was never given the chance to fix things once Loki showed his true feelings.
So, I think that sums up the movie, and I am excited to watch Thor; Dark World next!
