Marvel comics has what seems to be the most successful superhero franchise there is. With Iron Man being a hit, and in preparation for the now released Avengers movies, Thor was released despite the fact he wasn't as big as the other heroes. The movie went over quite well though, and honestly I liked it just as much as I did the Iron Man movies. Thor's personality is very arrogant, but the themes of the movie dealing with how he matures and grows throughout is one that many can find something about to relate to, and the character is likable himself.
Summary: Thor is arrogant and impulsive, and his dad, the king of Asgard, has had enough. Odin, the king, banishes Thor from Asgard, and he is forced to live among humans. Instantly, upon landing on earth he is put in the path of humans that are reluctant about his sanity first, but after mysterious forces show up on earth they begin to believe him with Jane being the one most interested in Thor's past. Leaving Asgard though has left it unprotected from a lurking villain and with his father ill he must find a way to return home to protect it.
