Devin vs Thor

I'm a big comic book fan.  I'm a big Marvel fan.  Because of the recent reboot I have become a Thor fan.  As much as I love all those things I could never get excited for a Thor movie.  Thor is the Superman of the Marvel universe.  They both are extremely powerful and have strictly defined morals.  The only non-comic book interpretation of Superman that I ever liked was Smallville.  The reasons were clear, Superman wasn't super, yet.  

Thor manages to be an origin story without being an origin story.  We start with Thor already being a loved hero of Asgard.  What we get is how Thor learns to become a true hero.  The story is the best one we've seen from a Marvel Studios movie (Iron Man 1 and 2 and The Incredible Hulk).  It was also the first one I loved not because it was intergrated with the greater Marvel Universe, but because it is actually a good movie.  It's not great, not mind blowing, it's not Spider-Man, Dark Knight or X2.  Looking at my comic book movie list:

1. spider-man
2. x2
3. the dark knight
4. scott pilgrim
5. kick ass
6. watchmen
7. wanted
8. spider-man 2
9. x-men
10. blade

Currently it might edge out Blade for the 10 spot, but it'll take a while before I can really nail down a position.
