The main problem with this movie, in my opinion, is that Thor looks like he came straight from the 1980s. The hair, the facial hair, the awful costume all point to evidence that Thor was James Hetfield’s younger brother who worked out a lot instead of playing the guitar.* There are nice effects to this movie and good acting (by people other than Thor) but ultimately, I couldn’t get over the fact that the hero of the movie had the look that so many guys I went to high school with were striving to obtain.

You are killing me. Hilarious observation. It was like when I got to college – Jesus was everywhere (long hair, beards…)
