Anthony Hopkins added much needed heavyweight presence as Odin but its a role he has quite frankly played a gazillion times but I never tire of it, so I'm not complaining. Chris Hemsworth played the part with a lot of energy, charisma and I have to admit from a bloke's point of view, annoying good looks. Of course, this is no Henry V, this is just pure popcorn entertainment but a thoroughly enjoyable introduction to Thor for the big screen. Thankfully, I am glad to say he learnt a great deal from those mistakes. I prayed that Kenneth Branagh would learn from his mistakes with handling a big budget movie, namely his Frankeinstein. I watched this last night at a preview screening in London. Loki: You know, it all makes sense now, why you favored Thor all these years, because no matter how much you claim to love me, you could never have a Frost Giant sitting on the throne of Asgard! I am the monster parents tell their children about at night? I wanted only to protect you from the truth. Loki: You could have told me what I was from the beginning! Why didn't you? Loki: So I am no more than another stolen relic, locked up here until you might have use of me? Bring about an alliance, bring about permanent peace. Odin: I thought we could unite our kingdoms one day. Loki: Why? You were knee-deep in Jotun blood. Small for a Giant's offspring, abandoned, suffering, left to die. In the aftermath of the battle I went into the temple and I found a baby. Loki: The Casket wasn't the only thing you took from Jotunheim that day, was it?
