Pros: Funny, suspenseful, emotional, good plot, and balanced the character's roles very nicely.
Cons: Some jokes were lame, but there were very few that wouldn't make a person laugh.

Cons: Romance is hokey. But hey, it's a comic book romance.
Summary: I'm not really a huge comic book fan. When I was a kid, I only knew and loved a handful of superheroes, and I knew most of them from television. But watching superheroes in action can be fun. So when I heard Marvel was bringing their Norse-god ... read more

Pros: dazzling visual effects, great performances by Hopkins, funny in parts
Cons: convoluted plot, TV writing, boring once you got past the visuals
