Negative Positive
Title: A decent effort, but. . .
Review: I had read the novel that this movie was based on and found this adaptation to be somewhat lacking. The novel is "Thor" and was written by Wayne Smith. It is told almost entirely from Thor's point of view and is actually quite charming. I realize that many things work better in print than they would in film and that sacrifices have to be made in any screenplay adaptation, but the majority of the novel is told from Thor's point of view and is about his reaction to this bizarre situation that only he is aware of but cannot understand. The makers of this movie tried to capture some of the point of view but I ultimately they failed. Try and track down the book (I think it's no longer in print) and compare it to the movie. You'll see what I mean.
Is the review positive or negative?
