Thank
you for checking back from time to time. I have been busy writing about
Hinduism for a website my sister,
Monica, set up to raise money for the completion of a school building at an
ashram in South India. But I am here now and I want to share my thoughts on the
new THOR movie.For
those of you who do not know this by now, the second installation of the THOR
franchise just came out last weekend. The title of the movie is Thor: The Dark
World. It stars Chris Hemsworth (hubba hubba) as the main character, Natalie
Portman (as his lady love), Tom Hiddleston (as the evil brother who still has
an element of goodness in him), Anthony Hopkins (the daddy of them all), and
Rene Russo (the glue that holds them altogether).I
have gone to see many of the movies that have come out this year that are in
the same genre as Thor. But a lot of them fell short. That is why I didn’t know
what to expect when I entered the theater for this movie. Well, I shouldn’t have worried. The movie blew my reservations right out of
the water!The
movie opened at a scene two years after Thor bid farewell to Jane Foster.
During that time, the Asgardians were busy in battle, restoring peace to the
Nine Realms. Now, during a moment of
triumph and celebration, Thor found himself pining for that one girl that got
away.Well,
Jane Foster is no ordinary female. She is an astrophysicist who is still trying
to figure out how to connect to Asgard, a world she knows almost nothing about.
But that soon changes when she accidentally releases a mighty energy that can
control the universe! Learning that this power has transmutated into Foster’s
body, Thor brings her home to Asgard to figure out how to extract energy before
it kills her.As
the planets of the Nine Realms grow hungry for that very power, Asgard prepares
for war. But Thor knows that the people of Asgard cannot withstand the
onslaught of one regime after another. So he defies his father’s dictates and
enlists the help of his wayward brother. How these two princes forge a truce
and work together to keep the battle from coming to Asgard is what you must
find out when you see the movie. But let me tell you, what I expected to be a
fairy-tale ending was anything but.
