Thor spans the Marvel Universe from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is the mighty Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth by his father Odin and is forced to live among humans. A beautiful, young scientist, Jane Foster, 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. (Paramount Pictures, Marvel Studios)

I really enjoyed it. It was slightly long or perhaps underwritten, a lot of the cast didn't get much to do. The architecture of Asgard was kind of blurry but that may have been the 3D which added little. The sound of the hammer strikes and The Destroyer's blasts were great and really added to the action scenes. [spoiler] Fury shows up with the cosmic cube after the credits.
