The movie stars Australian beefcake Chris Hemsworth as Thor, son of Odin and heir to the thrown of the Norse gods who live in a place called Asgard (a gaudy, gold palace that looks more like an enormous Vegas men’s room than a palace). Thor is also big brother of Loki (Tom Hiddleston), the jealous God of Mischief who is about to hatch an elaborate plot to disgrace his brother so he can become king. Thor, not the sharpest knife in the Marvel Universe, falls for Loki’s plan and gets banished to earth where he meets and falls in love with Natalie Portman, which would be enough for most men to say the hell with Askard and stay where they are. Thor is nothing if not thick-headed, though, and the bulk of movie is taken up with his fight to get back to the Norse heavens and get back what is rightfully his.
