For Hollywood this officially is the year of the comic book. And with Spiderman 3 and The Dark Knight ranking as some of the biggest (and fastest) grossers in recent years, who can blame the studios involved for investing in the lives of bedraggled mutants, transforming immigrant robots from outer space and a general mesh of troubled super and not so super human freaks in outlandish costumes. So with X-Men – First Class imminent and The Green Lantern, Transformers – Dark of the Moon and Captain America – The First Avenger also on the horizon, Thor is the first in a very long series of comic book adaptations which will run well into next year, with a new installment of Spiderman and Marvel Studio’s Avengers due to emerge then. If Thor is a merely a sign of things to come in the multiplexes then surely good things await us this summer. For seldom has a film of this size seemed so engrossed with getting the balance right (between action, romance, great special effects, good CGI and a decent story) and pretty much succeeded.
