Thor had star power? Who? Anthony Hopkins was the ONLY big name. All you had to carry the film was Capt Kirk's dad, Darth Vader's Wife, and Bootstrap Bill. Not even a big name director. Most people know the director as "Gilderoy Lockhart" in Harry Potter. Of all the Marvel-character based films to date, this one should have been the most likely to fail... but it didn't.

Thor as a character has (up until VERY recently) been a 2nd or 3rd tier character. In the 80's and 90's, I was a huge Avengers fan, and Thor got MAYBE one or two lines an issue, if that. In fact, most writers seemed to not know what to do with him, so they often wrote him out of the story, dealing with some Asgardian uprising etc. He's only recently found a foothold in the Iron Man, Captain America, Wolverine, and Spider-Man level of recognition.

The movie was great, but I'll be totally honest, before seeing it, the ONLY reason I was interested was because it would be part of the prologue leading to the Avengers film. I had zero interest from the character standpoint. After watching the film, I totally was blown away (still can't stand the comic version of Thor).
