Synopsis for the Upcoming Thor Film

Thou shall knowith thy truth!



No Caption Provided
Finally you can breathe a sigh of relief, for the veil of secrecy has been lifted, and the synopsis to the upcoming Thor movie has finally been revealed. Verily. (I've always wanted to write that). According to ScifiWire, who got their hands on this info, the movie coming out on May 6th of 2011 sounds well.... like this.

Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment present the epic adventure, "Thor," which spans the Marvel Universe from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is the mighty Thor (Chris Hemsworth), a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth by his father Odin (Anthony Hopkins) and is forced to live among humans. A beautiful, young scientist, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), has a profound effect on Thor, as she ultimately becomes his first love. It's while here on Earth that Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.

Verily. Thor learns to live, laugh, and love on his exciting adventure to Earth, and then he fights someone. Of course, you can't do a first Thor film without doing an origin story, but is it just me, or does this synopsis seem kind, I don't know... boring? From the sound of the synopsis, it just sounds like a romantic drama with a Asguardian in it. 
 
Still, we hope for the best, and try not to let a lackluster synopsis get us down. 
 
What do you guys think? Excited for the film? Happy? Disappointed?
