Thor, the movie

Thor was an exquisite blend of mythology, marvel comic-dom and the cinematic. The early split narrative, mixed with stunning, stunning visuals, appropriate smattering of comedic relief, and proper story-telling made the movie thoroughly enjoyable. 
The movie by itself, and as a continuum of the spring/summer movie offerings, is a massive respite from the horde of movies which have failed to deliver. And deliver it has.

On a side note: The mingling of S.H.I.E.L.D. and mention of Stark, as in Tony Stark of Iron Man fame, in this and a few other marvel movies, foreshadows, hopefully, a cumulative movie with all avengers characters. So here's to hoping and probably a sequel to Thor and/or any other Marvel offering.
