Son of Coul, Agent of Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division! <3
Surprisingly little to add before jumping to the movie proper except for me waking up late and needa waste money on cab fare only to find the box office to be full of kids from the neighboring secondary school but here we go~
Natalie Portman being gawky and adorkable? Check.
Resonable Authority Figure Patient and sensible older man? Check.
Plucky comic relief girl who reminds me a little of a much younger Liv Tyler? Check.
Storm!
Thor falls to Earth!
Boom! Got hit by their storm-chasing van!! Ouch...
Flashback time~
Voiceover!
Ye olde Scandinavian village and some back stories on the Norse mythology.
Frost Giants! Brrr... is it just me or did the cinema get colder when they used their magic Ice Crystal power thing? I didn't know we had one of those 4D cinematic experiences. XD
Cool entrance, bro--I mean, All Father. I wonder if they de-aged Anthony Hopkins digitally, like they did with Patrick Stewart in Wolverine Origins... But they didn't needa do much. He was mostly covered by his awesome helmet.
Ouch eye...
Oh gods... Asgard is all decked out in gold! So bling and tacky!!
Kid!Thor and Kid!Loki. Kid!Thor is such a brat and Kid!Loki did look a lil like Loki... =3
Grown-up Thor is still a brat I see. In a certain light, he reminds me of Chris Evans (eh?!). And in another certain light, he reminds me of Chris Pine (well duh... he *is* Father of Kirk after all). Do all Chrises look alike?
And he's gonna get crowned King of Asgard?! We all know how well *that's* gonna end.
Frost Giants in their vault/artifacts room thing? This will not end well.
Odin: "I name thee--"
Cut to vault
Frost Giants killing guards left and right. Yep, just the two.
Cut back to throne room
Odin: "--Frost Giants"
Bro and me: Did he just name Thor a Frost Giant?! Lolol!!
Loud resounding thump of All Father's mighty spear and a cool metal mecha guard appears and dispatches of the pesky Frost Giants. Cool!
Odin and his sons hurry to the vault. Thor wants to fight like the brat he is. Odin don't want to. They argue. Reminds me of a line in the lyrics of Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own by U2. We fight all the time / You and I / That's alright / We're the same soul.
Loki couldn't get a word in edgewise. Poor Loki... Everyone's so dismissive! Designated buttmonkey? D'aww... *pats*
Is he trying to 挑拨离间 when he was trying to make Thor feel better? Seeing that he's Loki, it wouldn't be that unbelievable. That underlying trace of what feels like real concern is pretty well-played though. :D
And off they rode, He-Man and his Masters of the Universe.
Oh gods... Did Kenneth Branagh bring lens flare along with Father of Kirk from Star Trek to Thor the Movie?! *_*
Hey! Their city coulda been TRON city! Tron, where are you?!
Funky bridge!
Water falling off the edge of the world... Discworld? Will there be 4 elephants underneath? And underneath those 4 elephants, a turtle?? XD
Ooo... Black guy with glowy eyes. The all-seeing gatekeeper Heimdall. I like him!! XD
Heimdall on He-Man and his Masters of the Universe trying to go to Frost Giant Land without permission: You are not dressed warmly enough for where you're going.
Ooo... Spinning golden sphere that is the gateway between 9 realms. Like the Transporter Room in Star Trek! Does that make Heimdall Chief O'Brien?
And they land on the Land of the Frost Giants! Looking very much like Superman's Fortress of Solitude. Hot damn, Mr. B... You sure like to make me cross fandoms.
Poor Loki got dismissed again! By one of He-Man's Masters of the Universe too. They're supposed to be on the same team! No wonder he turned to the dark side. *pats*
Ooo... Bratty. Fight, fight!
Ouch! That's one hell of a frostbite.
Eh?! How did-- Why did his hand--?? *_*
Mr. B sure likes his upside down and underside sequences...
Cool entrance, bro--I mean All Father. Too bad the King of the Frost Giants is adamant about war though. I would love to see them share a pint or two. XD
Thor's in trouble now~~. Expressly disobeying a direct order from his father and king. Odin and Thor argue again. Lol @ Loki's face as he watches the back and forth volley.
Loki is once again dismissed. Very loudly. By Odin himself. Poor Loki... *pats*
Thor gets casted down to Earth without his powers!
Bang! Hit by Nat Portman's Stormchaser van!
...Marvel has a lot of scientist huh?
Bro got tased by poor man's Liv Tyler!
As they drove off to find a hospital, the Hammer that was locked with all of Thor's powers that was taken away from him and thrown down after Thor was casted out landed with a vooooooom.
The locals have fun trying to take the Hammer.
Pickup truck with chain trying to pull the Hammer out? Good luck with that...
And the whole flatbed of the pickup truck got ripped out!! O_O
Stan Lee!
Agent Coulson!!
Hospital. Thor fighting people left and right. I see why they need big guys for nurses/orderlies.
Nat & co finds something interesting in the photos of their storm. A certain man-shaped shadow.
They go to the hospital to find Thor who had escaped his restrains (lol @ poor man's Liv reloading her taser in the van after they found out he escaped), only to promptly run him over again.
Product placement count: uh... a few?
Levi's black jeans. Classic.
Father of Kirk is ripped! I mean, obviously since he is Thor now but still! *drool*
*_*
*_*
*_*
*_--wait what?! Why would Nat Portman be keeping around her ex's clothes? And why would her ex's clothes fit Thor?! Her ex is his size?!?! ...She has a type I see...
Tiny Nat!
Food! Waffles and eggs... Mmm... Delicious!
Lol @ mug smashing!
Ahaha! Cute!! Poor man's Liv after finding out something else landed near Thor's crash site: This is so going on Facebook. *turns to Thor with her camera phone* Smile~
Thor: *biggest cutest smile ever*
XD
When Thor hears about his fallen Hammer, he tries to get a horse from a Pet Store. Lol... Nat offered him a ride out. But an unmarked black van drove past them with her equipments and stuff so she gave chase. They got back to their lab and found everything loaded up and ready to go. Agent Coulson's taken everything! :D Very efficient.
Stories they tell when he was young... You mean Eric is Scandinavian? Dude! I did not realize he's Stellan Skarsgard (whose from Sweden so it's as Scandinavian as they get!) until the credits!! I fail as a fan I tell ya...
Eric also knows a guy who knows a guy who does work on gamma radiation, was contacted by S.H.I.E.L.D. and never heard from again. Of course! He changed his face twice. He's gonna change it again for The Avengers! Poor Bana and Norton... :( I wished Ed Norton had stayed on though... Woulda made The Avengers a gathering of 2 of my favorite actors--minus the 2 Chrises.
Then Thor decides to go find his Hammer still and Nat decides to go with him since all her life's work is gone and she's got nothing to lose. Really? Or does she just wanna sex the man?
So he broke in and Curb Stomp Battle'd his way through the temporary base set up by S.H.I.E.L.D. Very efficient people, S.H.I.E.L.D.
Hawkeye! When bro said there's a cameo by Hawkeye, the first thing I thought of was Hawkeye Pierce from M*A*S*H?! Then I remembered. Lol...
When he reached the Hammer, he could not lift it either! Why, he cried up into the sky. Coz you haven't undergone Character Development yet, silly! XD
Then Agent Coulson gave the order to capture the broken spirited Thor.
Interrogation time~
Coulson tells Thor he made his highly trained men look like a bunch of minimum-wage mall cops and asks Thor where he got his training.
He's not gonna say anything, Coulson. Who would?
Best sequence of the movie! Agent Coulson leaving the room and the mirrored door closed back to reveal Loki standing at Coulson's previous position. And later, the mirrored door reflecting Loki slid open and when it closed, Loki's gone! Nice...
Loki in a modern suit... Yum. Did he raid the closet of Arthur from Inception? The slicked back hair did not help. Or did it? XD
Then Loki BAMF'd to the Hammer site, tried to pull it out but couldn't and decided to walk away pretending to not have tried it in the first place. Lol his face!!
Then Eric came to Nat's aid like Old Ben Kenobi answering the plead from Leia. Oh wait... Nat = Mother of Leia. Hmmmmm...... XD
Anyway, Blatant Lies! And obviously faked ID! But Coulson lets them slide coz he wanna know what's gonna happen next. :D
And the first place they go to after getting out of "imprisonment"? A bar. Of course!
Thor explaining why Eric is stone-drunk: "We drank, we fought, he made his ancestors proud."
LOLOL!!!
Obligatory romance scene.
Thor explaining his world to Nat and watches her sleep.
Morning breakfast! So domesticated.
In this light, with his buffed physique and his trucker flannel shirt, Thor reminds me of Christian Kane. Another Chris! I swear, Chris Hemsworth is like the total embodiment of all the Chrises in the world!! Or at least those in the US entertainment industry... XD
All is not well in the realm of Asgard.
Loki find out he is actually Laufey's son. Blue! I feel like saying BAMF whenever he turns blue. So Alan Cumming! XD
Odin falls into a coma mid-reveal. Was that real concern for Odin even though he just found out he was just a bargaining chip and not Odin's real son?
So Loki became the temporary ruler and the Masters of the Universe--who originally wanted to plead with Odin to end Thor's exile and maybe tell him it was Loki who let the Frost Giants in the first time so that they would wreck some havoc and disturb his brother's coronation--had to ask Loki and was promptly rejected.
And of course the Masters of the Universe plans to go anyway. But how will they get past Heimdall?
Speaking of Heimdall, he summons them just as they were wondering how they're gonna use the Transporter Room--I mean, spinny golden sphere.
Heimdall to the Masters of the Universe: You are trying to bring Thor back? Even though the King forbids it? Good.
And promptly leaves without his sword, sending them to Earth.
LOL!! Whoever said Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. do not have a sense of humor? The best description of the Masters of the Universe! Xena, Jackie Chan and Robin Hood. I wonder what they'll say about the big guy?
The Masters of the Universe: Found you! *happy wave at Thor from outside the shop's glass door*
Cute! XD
Loki found out Heimdall helped the Masters of the Universe to try to get Thor back and Hadouken'd Heimdall with the Ice Crystal Power thing!
And then Loki sent the metal mecha comes to finish Thor!
And then brought forth the Frost Giants to off Odin!
Lol @ other agents asking Coulson if it's one of Stark's.
Lol harder @ Coulson's reply that he don't know and that he (Tony Stark) never tells him anything.
Metal mecha thing made short work of S.H.I.E.L.D. Obviously. He's Odin's mecha.
Then they reach town and the Masters of the Universe tried to fight it but fail spectacularly.
Cool change in orientation, mecha bro!
Then Thor talked to it and asked Loki to spare the innocent people's lives and take his life instead. How'd he know Loki would be listening?! They have special earbud things? Through the mecha? How?!?!
So Loki obliged and the mecha swiped at Thor. And Thor dies. And Nat is sad.
And then the Hammer flies back to Thor! That's one hell of a defibrillation!! XD
Before he leaves, he told Coulson (Son of Coul! XD) that he can consider Thor one of them if they ever need help and turned his attention to the girl immediately. Feels so throwaway, that line. Obviously Thor had more on his mind than putting his name into The Avengers' sortie hat but still!
So He-Man is reunited with his Masters of the Universe again! But they can't go back coz Heimdall is still a popsicle.
But wait a sec! He's melting! And sliced through 2 Frost Giants before opening the gateway in his weakened state. Oh I love the man! XD
Go mama! She took out 1 Frost Giant before the King got to her.
Loki kills the King of the Frost Giants who was trying to kill Odin and was about to be commended and be praised and everyone will accept him as King now.
And Thor flies back to the palace immediately after that and told his mother what Loki did.
And they fight.
And Loki flies back to the gateway and used it to destroy the Frost Giant Land. He also jammed the gateway such that it cannot go anywhere else anymore.
And they fight more.
Loki taunts Thor, asking what made him so weak? Was it the girl? I thought he started turning for the better after Loki went to see him all decked out in Arthur's clothes and told him he could not go back coz Odin did not want him back. More so than any girl. What is love?! Baby don't hurt me
And they fight more. Thor finally got the upper hand and was one move away from the finishing blow but instead, he placed the Hammer on Loki's chest. That is some tough ribs, Loki. How come it's not crack when the Hammer is so heavy, you couldn't even lift it off your chest?!
But Thor needs the Hammer to destroy the bridge that held the gateway that was destroying the Frost Giant Land. The gateway will fall off the edge of Discworld if Thor breaks the bridge! No more sonic-booming to Earth for sexytime no more!
Thor does it anyway because it is the right thing to do but breaking the bridge caused them to fall too.
Cool entrance, bro--I mean, All Father. That's some grip you got there, holding onto both of your sons.
Poor Loki! Odin does not think he would've made a good king. No praise from daddy so he lets go of the spear and fall into the abyss with the gateway.
And all was relatively well in the end. Odin and son are finally getting along. Nat and co are still looking for a way to create the wormhole to Asgard.
...Voyeur!Heimdall can see her. I really <3 this guy! Lolol!!
Credits!
Foo Fighters' Walk played. Bro questioned the choice of the song but Mr. B said it was appropriate so who was bro to argue? As far as ending credit songs go, they could've done worse.
Stinger!
Black Nick Fury meets Eric Selvig! Awesome!!
What is this cube Nick is showing Eric? A power source? ZPM??
Ooo...... Loki in the mirror whispers something ("It wouldn't hurt taking a closer look"?) and Eric replies Nick the same thing. OOOoooOOOOOooooo~~~~~
Until next time! Or August for CapA with another Chris!
Post-movie thoughts!
The movie started out solid and ended well but the middle was pretty meh.
Great acting all round, especially from Odin and the 2 Odinson! None of the major characters were glaringly bad and Chris Hemsworth is surprisingly good!! Not too bad for a comic book movie. XD
I never noticed the parallel between Thor the Movie and Shakespeare's Henry V until I read the trivia on IMDB! And the first movie Mr. B directed was Henry V, back in 1989!! Cool story bro!
Natalie Portman being gawky and adorkable? Check.
