This is no comparison to the big budget Thor movies but it wasn't meant to be. There are worse takes on Thor. There are two that make this look like it should get an Oscar. One with Zachary Ty Bryan which is atrocious then there's the one with Richard Grieco as Loki which is even worse. I watched because I have an affinity for Norse stories. I read every book on Norse mythology I could get my hands on growing up. I also like Dominic Purcell and Craig Fairbrass. I thought the guy playing Thor was miscast but then I didn't like the way they wrote the character. There was a mention in one review of why no mortal could touch Thor's hammer and then the main character did. The story told why - he was Thor's son so half god and could pick up the hammer. Also, in the mythology Thor isn't really very nice. He's arrogant and selfish. He's more the way Thor played by Chris Hemsworth is at the beginning of the first movie. All that aside the movie was OK. It is rather slow and dreary. They should have cut at least 30 minutes out and edited it better. It falls in the category I have for most movies - its not great but I've seen much worse unfortunately.
