Almighty Thor is an almighty bad movie. I’m going to give this almost a whole point higher rating than IMDB, only cause our Thor (Cody Deal) is kind of hot. He can’t act his way out of a wet paper bag, and I mean really wet and soggy paper bag, but he looks good in what they give him to wear. Which was in general too much. In fact if you look at the write up and credits for him on IMDB, most of it credits him playing a Centurian or a Roman Soldier. And that seemed odd till one comment was of him as a centurian at Ceasar’s Palace. So would this mean he’s sorta kinda famous as one of those wannabe actors that wears the fake armour and walks around Ceasar’s Palace? Cody’s a good looking guy with big muscles and looks good in fake armour, but I’d be afraid he might go hungry when that’s gone, if he was to keep acting at that point.
Which brings us to his co-star Richard Grieco, who I remember getting his big break in “Jump Street” years ago with Johnny Depp. I remember thinking back then something similar about him. He was pretty and had big muscles, and let’s assume he looked good in fake armour. His acting is still on par with that of his work on Jump Street. But I’m hoping his hair in Thor was a prop, as it looks pretty darn real and scarey.
I doubt this movie was intended to be funny, but you will find yourself smiling at times and shaking your head often. For example every time they use Thor’s hammer, how the foam rubber bounces, not only when they hammer something or someone, but when they place it on the ground and it bounces and roles around like an inflateable ball. Very sad people!
Hopefully you will do better than me and watch it in one seating, as I had to break the torture up to about 6 different occasions to make it through.
Would I watch another movie starring Cody Deal? Yes, definitely! But it won’t be due to his acting or the quality of movie it will likely be.
