film.
A group of researchers come to an area of \u200b\u200bNew Mexico to meet at least it seems, a tornado. Their surprise will be greater when the process trample a young blond and muscular appears out of nowhere.
Although they do not know, but the spectator will discover, this is Thor, the legendary god of Norse mythology that has been expelled from his home (Asgard) for their pride and have questioned the wisdom of his father Odin.
Asgard in the film.
Stripped of his power is now on earth as a mere human, with three people who will doubt your mental health, in addition to not having his hammer, Mjolnir, which his father sent with him.
This is the premise on which part of the film, told quickly, it will move to the film.
details.
Following the rapid introduction in which we meet the three humans who accompany the god in his adventures, we move on to another beginning in the mouth that Odin himself will discover a part of our past in which humanity is almost wiped out under the power of the ice giants, but the power of the Asgardians managed to desist, but not deaths and losses (as the eye of the narrator) in parts of both sides.
This scene that we will learn more about the world in which Thor moves, is really a story (real for them) which were described by Odin is telling his two sons, the protagonist of the film and its brother Loki.
Here we see the moment when the young prince film's title will be crowned King of Asgard, here we will act with pride while enjoying the applause of his comrades and showing very little humility, which be crucial for his exile in the land is still part of the monarch.
characters.
Chris Hemsworth.
Thor: The mighty prince of Asgard, a character well known to fans of Marvel Comics, that each plant of heroes who have come to the cinema to unite under the title
" The Avengers."
This, respectful adaptation, we find a god also told us that it is a young man with some airs and we see that it really is, something that did not stop being real in the original stories.
not find, and we must be clear, a human personality and closer to us, but instead the player will become a normal human being banished to our world and the consequent adjustment to that required for him .
Tom Hiddleston.
Loki: The Nordic mitogía is no brother, half-brother, actually, of the mighty Thor and his family relationship is with Odin. This is a change made in adapting the comic (Under the control of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby) and thus has come to the movie.
In this case there is an evil for no reason only willing to cause problems for his brother and ascended the throne of Asgard. The interpretation will be deeper and bottom, with a Loki is not really a villain, just a brother trying to hurt her father really wants but it already does.
Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman.
Jane Foster: The timid nurse that in the comics is in love with Thor, in addition to its human personality of Donald Blake, the film becomes a scientist who is investigating some strange atmospheric phenomena that lead to cross with the god of thunder and both end up in love.
here if we find a situation quite different from the classics, perhaps the best known, as the character played by Natalie Portman is brave and bold, with a partner and not just the damsel in distress.
Stellan Skarsgård.
Erik: The human side that provides the details that underpin the story, helping with his knowledge of mythology to understand what is happening. He has been that Jane has taught and therefore the relationship between the two fits more in the field than just parent-friendly.
Anthony Hopkins.
Odin: The expected performance of Anthony Hopkins is to match what is usual for him. A god wise and powerful, but that is also weary from years of battle and reign but their children must still learn a lot until he can rest.
Tadanobu Asano, Josh Dallas and Ray Stevenson.
The three warriors (and Sif): An essential part of the stories of Thor has been a group of friends and fellow soldiers, his beloved Sif also presented here as a more group in a place that really deserved.
With some, small change, these four characters are practically the same as in the comic and are central to the history of film, and that his friendship with the young god they will risk their lives in addition to disobey his king.
The comic.
Created in 1962 within the series "Journey into Mystery" by hand Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the character was radically different from other heroes that start to populate the pages what is now known as Marvel Comics.
Thor seen by Jack Kirby.
While it was customary powers, or induced or created (not to mention the righteous), this is not the case as it was not anywhere near a human being was a god with all what that entails. It is true that over time, and so is also revealed in the film, has been known that they are a very advanced alien society (whether that magic blends with science), but then all he had was literally, a god walking among humans.
In its early history was not so much a fighter with his peers and with other characters over time, men cite lava or the dictator, a clear reference to reality and therefore may be considered a critique of communism (remember they are the sixties, and this is the order of the day), but gradually began to be more important gods.
And of course be Loki.

liar, player and many other names are correct for this, here it, villain, for which mere humans are alone toys in their attacks on Thor. The importance of this character, in addition to its Shakespearean hate relationship to his brother , is crucial because it must the meeting of heroes that will lead to The Avengers, which will soon see a film adaptation.
references in the film.
Obviously when doing an adaptation of a comic to the big screen there are things that fall by the wayside, others are changed and several that are taken directly from the bullets.
Although there are many and varied I will not comment all. Some do not seem relevant to me and probably many others not even noticed me.
Asgard at the hands of Jack Kirby. That's why "The King".
certainly the first thing to name are the spectacular and powerful designs that populate all Asgard. Huge buildings, golden domes and technology background that we see in most scenes. He drinks here so the contribution of Kirby, who fled to represent the gods only as Vikings and went well beyond (but hey, it was Kirby and I could not expect anything from him) as well as other authors such as John Buscema to to be one of the most memorable stages of Thor and helped lay much all that has been subsequently character.
The commencement, after the prologue in which trample the protagonist, with Odin telling viewers a story about their subjects and how humans defended struggling hard with the frost giants, leads directly to the idea of \u200b\u200b"Tales of Asgard" that although they were the top stories when really helped to fund and define the society in which these beings were moving.
Another point that comes straight from the pages The oath that several times, put on Odin named Mjolnir, the hammer to wield Thor, which says that "He who wields the hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor." This is something that the comic has allowed at various times some characters are "converted" the god of thunder or just can use it to fight evil.

could not miss any reference to Donald Blake, the first human incarnation (that we know) which had to pass the young god and how this is in the minds of readers. Although the film actually comes out as the central axis owes much to the Ultimate universe, will speak of him as the ex-boyfriend of Jane Foster and subsequently used the false name for Thor when they go to rescue him from the hands of SHIELD
addition of the character gives the film its name, we will see dressed as a human (not so) to Loki, wearing an overcoat, suit and tie and green tone scarf, a very classic shape that appeared in the first comics (and later) when the liar was going through a normal man. Personally this is something I was excited to see because I think something very characteristic of the character.
The design of the destroyer, the robot that will devastate the streets of New Mexico, is also taken as is from the original ideas of the comic. Although a touch that makes us think, at least to me, "The Day the Earth."
The destroyer in the comic book version.
As I said there are a lot that are not actually necessary to understand the movie, if you will the reader and fan of this super hero more enjoyable.
Links to other stories, or the art of epilogues.
One of the highlights and successes that took Marvel was to make their characters would cross. Not only share adventures and headers, rather than perfectly vignettes one might appear another fund, or having a chat and even at home watching TV (which is a bit-time). While this in movies was not the case, making always missing something and it seems that each is moving in a different area, but finally realized it (Marvel Studios has done much good) and got down to work.
Robert Downey Jr. wearing the armor.
all started with the movie "Iron Man" and epilogue after the credits, something that has become obligatory and necessary topic in the productions of this company, when Tony Stark arrives home and there is waiting for Nick Fury, director of SHIELD (named here as a shield, but later leave as is) to say that it is not really the only super hero on earth and talk about "the Avenger initiative." Besides being the background, in a very fast time, which may well be the shield of a veteran hero of World War II.
In the movie "The Incredible Hulk" will also make its appearance the man beneath the armor. In this occasion to speak with General "Thunderbolt" Ross and offer help to combat the threat of giant emerald. We must say there are more references such as the talk of the super soldier project, which will give rise to Captain America, or display material Stark as part of using the military.
Later in "Iron Man II" will see how while the protagonist is locked in his lab coat using a circular to put her under a máquinas.Aquí there are questions that relate to the first part, on whether which bears the name Captain America or against bearing the USAgente, idea why I prefer to bend (the whys are too long to explain here.) And the time of the epilogue in which the agent will see Coulson, who left mid-movie, arriving in New Mexico to confirm his superior (Fury) that have Mjolnir found. This scene is seen in "Thor", slightly different but not radically.
Nick Fury in the movie version.
so we arrive at this latest adaptation, or rather a "based on ..." would be more correct, which speaks of a "gamma ray scientist" who disappeared without track, will make his appearance a member of SHIELD that instead of a firearm carries a bow and respond to the name Burton, who later will participate in "The Avengers" as Hawkeye.
But it will be after the credits, I said that this has become recurrent and is almost a "house brand" for these crops, when comes the main course. Erik, played by Stellan Skarsgård side, you will find Nick Fury (and Tony Stark in the background?) That will teach you something that she keeps in a small suitcase, a bucket that holds within it more power than anyone could dream. Of course I am referring to the so-called "cosmic cube" and which will be relevant in the upcoming release of "The Captain America, with the interesting point to be set in the past with what we are witnessing a clear example of retro-continuity set if it is more or less normal in comics not so much in movies.
But this scene is much more, is longer than other epilogues and really brings a lot, because before the end and reflected in a mirror (always show the truth, is a magical) who is supposed to appear Loki had died at the end of the film to exert their influence on the poor say that Erik and give him a look.
With this we see that the intention of Marvel Studios, beyond New "The Avengers" is to establish a coherent and well-connected universe, an experiment which so far is giving good results, and that really is the first time you do in the movies.
conclusion.
"Thor" is a film that will appeal to regular comics and those who have not read a single one. It combines a well-told story with some action worked, and a very careful direction and accompanying music at all times.
With great respect for the original comics, but with a nice collage of half a century (approximate) trajectory of the character, they manage to do that for me, is the adaptation (or "based on ...", because it really makes, like the last Marvel), which gives the majority to a genre that is increasingly demonstrating its capabilities.
The stage remembered Busiek and Perez.
