It wasn&#8217;t as good or as bad as it could have been. I&#8217;m detecting the comic book-turned-movie theme, though. The better ones are the movies without love stories. Thus, Iron Man is the best of the comic book movies, as a function of Tony Stark&#8217;s character flaws. <\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t an anti-romantic movie statement, just a comic book observation. Thor had to love interest in the comics, one an Earth woman and another from his home realm. I&#8217;m embarrassed to say I looked that up on Wikipedia just now. But I&#8217;m guessing kids didn&#8217;t pick up Thor for the love story. They wanted flying and hammers and thunder.<\/p>\n<p>And since director Kenneth Branagh is beyond blame, this can only fall to Natalie Portman.<\/p>\n<p>Oh someone will blame Loki later, but you&#8217;ll know better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A little something different<\/strong> from YouTube Cover Theater this week.
