    Nice introduction of the character, a lot like Iron Man was, you don’t see the hero all that much but mostly get to know the man and his history.

    Good intro. A few things should have been changed. But I liked the explaination on how Norse mythology came to exist and that it could be based in reality especially since Marvel is trying hard to make these movies less fantasy world and all based on possibility. I can’t wait for Captain Am. and then finally The Avengers. Now DC step it up!!!
