Thor starts out re-telling the story behind the Norse gods and their battle for the Human race against the Frost Giants. Fast foreword a few years and Thor [Oden's Son] is about to be crowned king, that is until a few Frost Giants break into Odens secret vault in the middle of the Ceremony. Thor; Young, impulsive, and foolish transports himself and a few friends to the Frost Giants land against his fathers command. Leading to war and and getting himself stripped of power and banished to Earth. Until he is worthy to earn back his Hammer and Power.
OK when you watch the movie you'll immediately think of a comic book, with a story and characters as unbelievable as the powers they posses. The visual effects are cool but slightly fake looking.
As far as questionable content goes, the one problem was that it seemed like they were trying to draw a parallel between the true God and the gods of the Norse. [Thor coming to earth, sacrificing himself, ect.] Now this may have been unintentional but it was there nonetheless.
Other content is not to bad, Thor[Chris Hemsworth] and Jane[Natalie Portman] kiss once and there are a few profanity's scatted throughout. Thor is also shirtless in one scene.
Violence: Thor and his friends fight and kill a whole army of Frost Giants. Thor punches and kicks security guards and medical staff. The last fight is between Thor and his brother and that includes kicks, punches and throwing each other against the floors and walls.
So I'm giving the cool but rather cheesy THOR 2 stars. So on the whole? Eh-Probably not worth The Second Take.
