After the Show: Found my Thor religion!
5/6/2011
Remember in Lethal Weapon when Murtaugh tells Riggs, “I’m too old for this sh--!” I always say that after I go to a 12:01 Midnight release of a big blockbuster. But, even though the bones creak the next day and I survive on a measly three hours sleep (on a work night to boot!), I still have fun.
THOR was a godly level movie! (pun intended). I kneeled before its breath-taking cinematography and costumes. It sang gospels about Rainbow Bridges and Nine Realms. Thy cup runith over with Frost Giants and Warriors Three. Evil felt the might of Mjolnir (i.e. Thor’s Hammer). The sermon was simplistic but powerful—not complete unless filled with fire and brimstone (and an icicle or two). I gave my $10tithe and I was filled with joy and sunshine. Can I get an Amen!?
And like all good things, it ended way too fast. I prayed for more. (which we got at the end of the credits). Is it the best of the Marvel Universe films? No. (sorry, I might give that nod to Iron Man —well, until Capt. American comes out.) But is it Marvel Entertainment at its best? Yes. If anything, I will remember the line, “This drink... I like it! More!” Oh, and Stan’s cameo, maybe the best yet!! No lie.
