Tom Hardy’s body in Warrior is as bizarrely and suspiciously inhuman as Chris Hemsworth’s in Thor. In one scene, Hemsworth wanders around shirtless in Natalie Portman’s apartment while the other actors and the audience just gawk. It’s absurd. So is the movie. And I loved it. One of the deluge of superhero movies this past summer, Thor is about the Norse god of Thunder, his Oedipal problems, his annoying brother Loki and what happens when he gets banished to earth and meets a cute astrophysicist (Portman). Full of action and silliness, it’s directed by Kenneth Branagh.
