Walhalla - Die Legende von Thor

This was so much better than the Hollywood treatment, this actually felt real, as I imagined what Asgard would be like, none of that Holywood technologically advanced and old world at the same time stuff. Not sure what I was expecting when I started to watch the film, but really enjoyed it; the acting and direction could have been better, but a great watch nevertheless.

I love Nordic Mytology, but this is not that--- I'd wish the people making this movie would had read just a little about Nordic Mythology, before they made the movie, Thor is not spelled this way, he is Thundergod and in nordic his name is Tor. Loke is not dark skin, all our old gods were pale and had blond hair. The movie are strange and far from our old gods,

The local online movie database in our country is a bit of a pain in the crack to get accepted to. You are required to rate 200 movies and then you have to take a movie trivia quiz, which is timed and can be only repeated once if you want to write reviews. Seeing the reactions for this movie made me go trough that whole process just so I could write a review myself.

Currently, the rating on that database stands at around 31%, which I feel is really unfair. The rating here on IMDB is about right. If you go into this movie expecting a marvel movie, you'll be disappointed. This is a cheap movie about northern mythology, that doesn't hold your hand. The characters are not introduced, as the target audience is expected to already know the mythology. The child characters are annoying, but it is nice seeing some of the myths come to life. Given the budget, which was microscopic in today's context, the movie looks pretty good. A fine passtime for the mythology lover. I don't know how well it relates to the animated movie it remakes as I have never seen it.

Well, have been waiting to see this movie ever since I heard it went into production, I grew up reading the comics and have seen the animated version many times which in Denmark is a classic. So thought either they would mess it up completely or hit the spot, neither happened, it is like stuck in between, they changes the story a bit to make it new a fresh, it is a bit off here and there when you know about the old scandinavian culture, but it still makes it watchable! So all in all a decent flick, specially good for kids that needs an easy story, decent acting, apart from a few roles that could have been casted better.

I LOVE mythology, so i was VERY disappointed. First of all There were exactly 4(!) mortal citizens in whole movie, so called "Valhalla" was empty place with just few guards, who looks as mortals despite fact, they werent (or shouldnt). Should also mentioned, that Gods (7?) are tired drunkies and perverts. Who wouldnt love this? And btw, Loki had dark hairs not dark skin, his skin was pale.
