Yes, another comic book movie, or is it? Though the trailer
and talent attached to the film hinted to something good, it's hard to have
high expectations for a teenage boy's fantasy. However, with this film, it is
perfectly okay to have those high expectations because it meets them. This was
a fun film which sets a high bar for all other comic book movies to come. You
laugh, you cheer the good guy and boo the bad guy, you leave the theater smiling.
It also adds new dimensions to the comic hero genre by having non-sexualized
women. The women in the film are known for their skills and their personalities
more than for their appearance and none of them wear skimpy/body-hugging
outfits showing their bodies. Thor falls for Jane because of her brains and
personality, it's wonderful! Filled with positive influences throughout the
whole film, Thor is truly the perfect summer blockbuster.
