"I loved the first movie. Fish out of water story where 99% of the movie he doesn't even have his powers."
Well...there the camp that liked this aspect of the first movie. I'm in the other camp . You're seeing all these OTHER heroes like X-Men, Spiderman, Hulk, and Fantastic Four get movie adaptations. You may have followed those comics from time to time, but you're REALLY waiting for the one you collected, THOR!
So you go see it, and wow, Asgard, Loki, the Frost Giants (a miniaturized version of them), the Destroyer. Oh, man, Thor, Loki, Sif, and The Warriors Three go to Jotunheim to battle the mini-Frost Giants and their monsters! Then Odin comes, strips Thor of his powers, and banishes him to earth. Okay, surely they realized that the first half hour was what people came to see? And this earth part is going to be a brief comedy detour? It would go on for another 60 minutes...
Were there some funny moments? Sure. But get back to Thor already...it was the exact opposite of Dark World. Dark World got the earth parts out of the way in 3-4 minutes segments? In the 2011 movie, it was the more interesting Asgard scenes that got only 3-4 minutes! They'd thow in a scene of Loki making a deal with King Lafie and ruling Asgard as the interim king.
Thor goes to the SHIELD research outpost to retrieve Mjolnir. By this point you've already had enough of this Chris Hemsworth comedy that was playing before you, and they tease that Thor is returning. Hemsworth grabs the hammer and nothing happens. Nothing .
I guess it goes on for another 25 minutes or so before the Destroyer, Sif, and the Warrior's Three beam down to earth, and now we're cookin'. He gets the hammer, he's Thor again. By this time...we're 90 minutes in, and there's only enough time for a super quick fight with Destroyer and Loki.
To this day, when I watch that disc, I can only go up to the first half hour, then I skip to the Destroyer landing on earth. It was a Chris Hemsworth comedy that happened to have a cameo from Thor!
