New on DVD & Blu-Ray : THOR (2011)

Synopsis: Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment present the epic adventure, “Thor,” which spans the Marvel Universe from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is the mighty Thor (Chris Hemsworth), a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth by his father Odin (Anthony Hopkins) and is forced to live among humans. A beautiful, young scientist, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), has a profound effect on Thor, as she ultimately becomes his first love. It’s while here on Earth that Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.

What to Expect : Fancy comic book adaptation featuring the usual expensive visual effects and a more unusual over-the-top dramatic mood, courtesy of director Kenneth Branagh ("Hamlet", "Much Ado About Nothing"). Marvel fans will love this, but those expecting a somber and gritty comic book movie like "The Dark Knight" are in for a surprise. Passable entertainment.

Studio/Distributor : Paramount Pictures

Rating : PG-13 for sequences of intense sci-fi action and violence.
