Going to agree with Nettie on "Thor".
Chris Hemsworth plays the title role with gusto without turning it silly. Arrogant, reckless and spoiling for a fight - and yeah, he's a hunkasaurus to the female moviegoers.
Tom Hiddleston offers a terribly accurate portrayal of "Loki", projecting all of the cunning, darkness, betrayal and downright nastiness of the god of mischief.

The presence that Anthony Hopkins brings to pretty much anything on screen is no exception here.
"Odin" - the king, and father to Thor and Loki, is beautifully played by Hopkins.
Some of the key factors, points and characters are included in the film. I will tell you that this took a LONG time to produce, and it shows... with a vengeance.
The movie is a feast for the eyes and ears. Asgard (the world where the title character lives), is a work of art. For real.
It is absolutely stunning, and I found myself more than a few times saying, "No-no-no... show me that scene again!!"
I cannot imagine the amount of time and effort that it took just to pull off one of those scenes.

One of the most ominous characters in the Marvel comic book was "Destroyer", created by Odin as a guardian of the vaults and armory of Asgard. You seldom ever caught a glimpse of this creation, but when you did - you knew there was going to be serious trouble. It is very coolly done in the film, showing the single-purpose invincibility of the thing.
There are loads of very cool effects, and other characters that make appearances in the film.
Do yourself a favor - pay the extra few bucks and see it in 3D if possible. The soundtrack is worth the $$$.
* Oh yeah - Natalie Portman is in it as well, adding her pixie-ish cuteness in every scene. (Personally, I think she would have been cuter in her pirate costume - wuf)
