What was that hammer called again?

I was a little worried for Thor when the previews were CGI heavy, but Thor is a pleasant surprise. While there are lots of special effects, at no time do they feel overbearing. What Thor really has going for it is it's story and cast - there's just enough of a fish-out-of-water story as Thor adjusts to his new existence on Earth, along with his eventual realization of being a hero. The cast is pretty good - Hemsworth is just what I would have pictured as Thor, and he and Natalie Portman have a good rapport with one another. I'm hoping for more entries in the Thor franchise (beyond next summer's The Avengers) that can build upon their relationship. A good superhero movie.
