It's a fusion of sci-fi and epic "Thor"

Every summer vacation period, it enters the season of American Superman again. Following last year's "Iron Man 2", a total of two The Avengers members will jump on the big screen this year, and one of them is the "Thor" introduced today. The protagonist Sol.



In the past, there are three types of American Superman in our impression. One is born with divine power, such as the well-known Superman, Wolverine or Spider-Man, and the other type is that although he does not have superpowers, he relies on advanced weapons or supernatural powers. Human skills, like Batman and Iron Man, fall into this category. And Thor belongs to the third category, the gods in mythology, who have the power of gods, such as Ares, the god of war in Greek mythology, Osiris in Egyptian mythology, or Zeus in Greek mythology (Marvel also arranged for him to be with Sol Er sparring) all belong to this category, which is a relatively rare type of hero in Taiwan in the past.




In the blink of an eye, it has been four years since the 2008 Avengers project was launched. American Superman not only created another wave of comic Superman, but also created box office success again and again. The "The Avengers" to be launched in 2012 is in It attracted much attention before its launch, and the other two members of the Avengers also appeared one after another this summer, and "Thor" was the first shot of the 2011 Superman movie.



A brief introduction to the role of Thor. Sol is considered a relatively low-profile superhero in Taiwan (referring to before the movie was released), but in fact Sol has always been a popular hero in the United States, and the creator of this popular idol is the well-known Stan Lee. Thor's first appearance was in Journey into Mystery #83 (above left) in August 1962, and in 1963 the original members of the Avengers (other members: Ant-Man, The Wasp, Iron Man and Hulk), take a closer look at the villain on the left is the villain Rocky of "Thor Sol", which is why the Avengers series was launched in Paramount. Sol has always been one of the indispensable characters (and Rocky has also been a big villain in the Avengers franchise). However, because the settings of the movie and the comic are different, the comic part here will not be covered much (there is a chance to write another one).




Like the previous Marvel movies, the Cass part was never sloppy. The protagonist recruited a new generation of character actor Chris Hensworth, and his fit body attracted the attention of many female audiences before the filming started. And Sol's first-generation heroine (the heroine of American comics is never fixed), the heroine Jane Foster is starred by the new actress Natalie Portman, but unfortunately because of the drama, there are not too many Space for Natalie Portman to play. In addition to the male and female protagonists, Antonio Hopkins, Stellen Skarsgard, Asano Tadanobu, etc., the cast lineup is absolutely no problem.




The movie is an introduction to Thor's background. In addition to his personality, there are also introductions to other gods, as well as the world view of the Norse gods, so that the audience can immediately understand this new hero character and his background. The story is different from the previous superman characters. Many supermen have a tragic growth process, but he did not. As the Norse gods and the king of the gods Odin (played by Antonio Hopkins), he was born to be educated to become The king of the gods, his arrogance eventually became his Achilles heel.




In the first half of the story, the Protoss faced off against the Snow Giants, the gods gathered in Asgard, and the Rainbow Bridge and Jotunheim where the Snow Giants lived. If I didn't know from the beginning that I was watching a Superman movie, I might have thought that It is an epic movie that does not adapt Norse mythology. In terms of picture and visual enjoyment, this movie can be regarded as the first choice in the near future. Whether it is computer animation or CG special effects, it has a certain level, and the plot arrangement is compact and exciting. Overall, it is an entertaining sci-fi action movie. If you insist on nitpicking, there should be few places to criticize except for the too formulaic plot.



On the whole, the story is smooth and the pictures are beautiful. In addition to the large number of big names, this drama is basically worth the ticket price if you watch it in theaters. In addition, the Avengers mentioned above will be released next year, and it should be fresh by then. I won’t be able to do character introductions again. If I’m afraid that I won’t understand it, let’s put these series of movies K-K first!




Digression:





I was a little disappointed when I saw the poster of the Avengers that day. The original Hulk actor Ed Ward Norton was replaced by Mark Ruffalo. Although most of them may be his transformed appearance, the lack of the original character is a bit lost. ( At least change to Eric Bana too...). There is also the hidden ending of Captain America that I thought would appear (remember to see the end!) It is not what I imagined, but it will not reduce my desire to watch "Captain America"!
