Thor** (12A)

Odeon Colchester

US 2011. Paramount/Marvel. 115m. ws. 3-D

Thor the god of thunder is exiled to present-day Earth but fights his way back to the realm of Asgard to prevent his brother's attempt to usurp the throne.
Quite sustainable comic book adventure with Shakespearean overtones to the mythical element which actually works better than the Earthbound scenes, where the comedy seems clumsily interposed.
