Comment: "It's a lot deeper than most comic-book-movies, making it feel a lot less like a superhero movie and more like a traditional fantasy movie..."

Synopsis
Heir to the realm of Asgard, Thor is a powerful but arrogant warrior-prince whose fall from grace is the result of reigniting the war between Asgard and the land of the ice-dwellers, Jotunheim, against the wishes of his father, Odin. Thor is then banished to the realm where humans roam, planet Earth, stripped of his godlike powers. Little that he knew that it was all part of a master plan by a traitor within Asgard to usurp the throne.

What to Expect
1. More than just a superhero movie
2. Plenty of Shakespearean feel to the themes
3. Funny "fish-out-of-water" element

What NOT to Expect
1. A lengthy (and boring) origin story
Not enough to warrant it a "Don't miss it" rating, but only by a hair
