Thor!

[adz]

So what did you guys think of Thor now that it has been released?

I've seen i 3 times now liked it just as much as the last. Really really great flick, they are setting it up verrrrrrry nicely for THE AVENGERS. There is even a cameo of a certain arrow slinging Avenger (this is not a spoiler at all) that was so well done and so damn cool.

I don't want to write too much and don't want to give anything away so I'll leave it up to you to enjoy or not enjoy (yep if you have any bad reviews throw them in the mix!! each to their own you know :D). But PLEASE if you are giving a spoiler make sure you make it aware to the folks that may not have seen it yet........pesky spoilers!!!! :tmad:

OH!!! STAY TILL THE END OF THE CREDITS!!!!!!!

Door!

I thought it was pretty good. Plenty of action, plenty of humour, plenty of inside jokes.

I totally loved Stan Lee's scene. :lol: I loved how Bifrost looked! Didn't expect it to be like that at all. Very realistic.

[Slap-Happy]

Better than Iron Man 2 and The Incredible Hulk, but not as good as Iron Man.

The effects were good, except for a few times, such as...
Loki floating into the worm hole at the end, and also some of the Frost Giant fight.

[ZariusTwo]

It was a decent flick, though more apt filler before a main course like, say, Captain America. Really enjoyed the setting on Earth and glad that SHIELD got a big role...was a bit dissapointed in some of the dialouge, the Asguradian speech sprinkled all over the comics is distinctly absent in this film.

[Candy Kappa]

yeah, but they said it was not going to make it into the film very early on. Gonna see Thor tomorrow with my girlfriend (it's her birthday)

[Revan]

As one who has never read a Thor comic, I really enjoyed the film. I only say that because it seems the comic fanboys are always screaming about how terrible a movie adaptation was; seemingly simply to explain their knowledge of a comic book and how the movie didn't directly parallel said book. Chris Hemsworth was perfectly cast as Thor. Simply put, he is HUGE... and funny.

Portman was fun in the film. The visuals were spectacular.

Side note: The previews got me very excited for this summer. Cowboys & Aliens, Captain America, X-Men, Green Lantern... :o

[adz]

Another great part that I just thought of. The way Thor used his Hammer as a weapon was awesome! Especially when he was spinning it (nunchuk style :tcool:) and spraying rocks over the Ice Giants, just tremendous!

I totally loved Stan Lee's scene. :lol: I loved how Bifrost looked!

I really look forward to Stan's scenes in Marvel flicks. This one was especially funny. But you can't top his Hugh Hefner appearance in Iron-man 1 :lol:.

Better than Iron Man 2 and The Incredible Hulk, but not as good as Iron Man.

My thoughts exactly dude! Iron-man has set the bar for all Marvel movies now, just as The Dark knight did for DC. The Incredible Hulk should've gotten more praise than it did though. Was such an awesome flick! And Norton was just damn perfect for Bruce Banner.

The effects were good, except for a few times, such as...
Loki floating into the worm hole at the end, and also some of the Frost Giant fight.

HAHAHA!!! He did 'float' down a little too elegantly didn't he! :lol:.

glad that SHIELD got a big role...

The guy that plays Agent Coulson must be loving it right now! From a relatively small part ion Iron-man 1 to becoming a bigger role in each coming Marvel flick. In a way (besides Nick Fury) he is the glue that's pulling Avengers together. "I NEED TO DE-BRIEF YOU!"

yeah, but they said it was not going to make it into the film very early on. Gonna see Thor tomorrow with my girlfriend (it's her birthday)

Happy B'day to your G'Friend!, but be warned for the Hemsworth gushing during...and after the movie :lol:. My fiance has decided that she will be taking Chris Hemsworths last name :lol:

Fanboys....will they ever be happy :lol: Paint Hemsworth Green and you have yourself the HULK! And aparently he was bigger than that!
My friend it is a very good year to be a comic book geek, even next year is looking good!
Batman, Superman, Spider-man and the big one AVENGERS!! :o

[Raph's Girl]

Happy B'day to your G'Friend!, but be warned for the Hemsworth gushing during...and after the movie :lol:.

Aww but Chris is just so danged hot!! And his eyes...oh those ever so baby blue eyes.... 8)

[Donnie]

I never read the comics, but I genuinely enjoyed Thor. I don't know how accurate the film was to the comic story-lines but I thought Loki was done awesomely, and Thor was casted perfectly. I love intergalactic comic book lines...Green Lantern looks just as good. I honestly went in there thinking it was just going to be another Portman spotlight. But it was way more than that, and I give tremendous kudos to the team that put it all together.

As usual, like many here have stated along similar lines: Stan Lee's cameo was worth a chuckle.

[Spitfire]

It was alright. Some of it was funny, most of it wasn't. The action scenes were alright, some better then others. A lot of the pissing around on Earth got old after awhile when there was a vastly more interesting world they could be showing. Thor's fighting style looked goofy and cartoonish when he had his hammer. Somethings are better left to animation and comic books.

Honestly I felt the same way about it as I did Iron Man 2, eh. Take or leave it. Captain America looks interesting I might give it a shot. Super 8 looks neat too. Green Lantern looks atrocious. Horrid CGI and way way too silly to be live action. Not something that works at all live action. X-men looked pretty pointless as well. Maybe the trailer was just bad, like the movie posters, and the movie will be better.

[Candy Kappa]

I never read the comics, but I genuinely enjoyed Thor. I don't know how accurate the film was to the comic story-lines .

I don't think any of the Marvel movie-verse films are any direct adaptation of any comic arc.

Adaptations are like Watchmen, Sin City and 300 as examples.


I really enjoy what Marvel have done by making their own MU in their films, it's a shame X-men won't get the same treatment

Thank God X-Men first class doesn't have Wolverine in it! The Original trilogy might as well have been Wolverine's Three $hitty X-Men Movies

Finally we'll get to see a movie not hopelessly devoted to him.

[Raph's Girl]

But he'll probably appear in the X-Men film set in the 70's or the one set in the 80's... :P

[Fugitoid Jones]

I am a fan of the Thor comics, and I absolutely loved this movie! I just thaught they did a great job of making everything accessible to the general public but still faithful to the loyal fans. I thought the cgi was fantastic, most of the performances were well done, and I thought they did a good job of crafting an enjoyable, coherent story, which could have been difficult, considering the amount of story that needed to be presented. It had action, humor, epic visuals, everything one could want from a summer blockbuster. Overall, IMO, I put this movie alongside the best of the Marvel movies like the first Iron Man, X2 and Spider-Man 2.


My one complaint tho, is how could Thor choose a wet-noodle like Natalie Portman, and pass on a goddess like Kat Dennings? Not only is she gorgeous, but I thought her performance was very funny, which makes her hotter.

[Candy Kappa]

Thor was awesome, only minor complaint was the effects on the rainbow bridge. Should look more like a rainbow.

[Revan]

You are wrong. This is not even a matter of opinion. Portman > Dennings

[Cure]

Yeah, if you're into counting ribs and hideously skinny women with no bodies.

[deadpoolRKO]

There are people who arent into that?

I thought rib counting was the hottest new foreplay

[Brodie]

I liked Thor alright. It wasn't spectacular, but it was good. Better than Iron Man 2, for sure. I wonder if I just have higher expectations for Thor, because I enjoy him as a character so much. That being said, I doubt the movie could have been a lot better. It was very good. I just have unrealistic expectations, and I'm fully aware of this.

An average person who either doesn't know who Thor is, only has passing knowledge of Thor, or kind-of likes him---those people will probably think its an excellent movie. I Really dig Thor, and was not disappointed. I just wasn't amazed.

It was everything I thought it would be. Dude hit **** with his hammer. They delivered.

Only complaint? No ****ing Beta Ray Bill.

Go **** yourself, Marvel.

[Raph's Girl]

Only complaint? No ****ing Beta Ray Bill.


Why on earth would they have Beta Ray Bill in a movie where Thor is just starting his time as a hero? Bill would overshadow Thor with all the horse jokes they'd make. :P

[Revan]

Anyone else catch Hawkeye?

[Candy Kappa]

Anyone else catch Hawkeye?

oh yes
(message not too short)

[Revan]

Regarding the sequence after the credits role

It appears Loki is in control of Jane's boss Erik and will attempt to gain power through SHIELD's power source. Oh that Loki, always one for mischief. Could this possibly be the plot of the Avengers movie I wonder?

I wondered that too , they'll have to have more than Loki as they're main villian but that could definantly tie in to it. I personally think the guy cast as Loki did a fantastic job.

Loki is to appear again in Avengers so I wouldn't doubt it.

I enjoyed Loki as well. I knew going in he would be creating mischief but he was quite cunning all the same

[gobo]

Had 'im for a while, but he managed to escape. :ohwell:

[Revan]

oh yes
(message not too short)
Not much backstory for Hawkeye. Seems like they just thrust him in. No complaints here though.

nice

[Brodie]

Cause Beta Ray Bill > Thor.

End of story.

[Donnie]

Personally, I think Loki was the best part of the film. Perfectly cast and well written.

[adz]

I think thats what hit the nail on the head for alot of folks with Thor was that if you do or don't read the comics there is plenty for you to enjoy, and is a really good jumping on point. Of coarse if you do read the Thor comics (I don't) OR have pretty good knowledge of the marvel universe you can pick out the little 'extras' that others may miss, Which I guess is a nice little easter egg haha.

While Kiwamu The Kappa I agree with you my friend but I reckon if the rainbow bridge did look exactly look like a rainbow it would've taken away from the realism that they are trying give us. It looked pretty awesome though :-D.

And Brodie.....I too am hoping for some Beta Ray Bill action!!! We have a hefty wait till Thor 2 though Dag Nabbit.

Gotta love the way Marvel has tied each 'end sequence' into the next Marvel outing. That was the Cosmic cube that the Red Scull has used time and time again to try and cause abit of tomfoolery in Caps life. So a nice hint a Captain America. Loki was a surprise though! WHAT A RASCAL!! :lol:

Hawkeye was a nice surprise, they even mentioned Bruce Banner.

[That Matt Guy]

I thought it was a pretty good movie and a decent adaption of the character. Everyone looked the part, even Asgard looked great. I don't think there was much more they could do without making the movie completely ridiculous. All I can say is bring on The Avengers, but where is that Ant-Man movie at?

[Brodie]

According to a recent article, Feige stated that Edgar Wright is still developing the script. We'll see if it ever happens.

[Donnie]

Good call on the Captain America tie-in. Did not know that.

[Donnie]

Is anybody else upset that the Thor action figure line sucks?

[adz]

Yep, count me in that line up sir.
Mind you the articulation is pretty slick, its just the size that lets them down! I miss the old 'normal sized' figurines, but that's just me.

[Donnie]

Definitely, me too. I would think for a movie line, we'd see so much better than we got. We only got 2 pieces from Sideshow, even.

[Machias Banshee]

Just came back from seeing Thor... having never read the THOR comics, I enjoyed it and am interested in finding out more about it. Asgard was beautifully created, and the Score was nice as well.

Yeah! I liked the classical score, too.

My cousin thinks it evil that I find Loki the most interesting character...:P

Same here! :lol:. I've been Wiki'ing the Thor characters line-up to find out more about them and how they differed from the movie. And from checking them out they did the characters justice in the flick thats for sure! Really well done. It took 2 viewings to realise it was Ray Stevens playing Volstagg. The only real difference between Hogun (Jackie Chan.......that was damn funny) and his comic counterpart was that he looks abit more like Gengis kharn in the comic, but meh doesn't worry me :P.

Yeah! I liked the classical score, too.

Loki was awesome wasn't he! Still didn't know much about him besides his appearance in Amazing Spidey awhile back.

[Redeemer]

There are people who arent into that?

I thought rib counting was the hottest new foreplay

It is!!!!:D:D:D lol

Cure is jst out of the loop!... lol only kidding

Anyways I haven't gotten a chance to see this movie, but I think I might check it, I was trying to decide between Thor and Fast five. Im a car guy so its really tough when I dont have an apprecation of thor like other folks on here.

[Donnie]

adz, yeah!

I would have loved a 12" line from Sideshow doing all the characters, besides the obvious Thor and Odin (no Loki, wtf?)

[TheCanadiandrome]

just saw Thor on Tuesday, and man i loved it! can't wait to see Avengers

[adz]

I hear ya dude! :-D
The way Marvel studios is setting up the movies and throwing in the odd cameo or hint at another characters name is certainly building up the anticipation. I havn't been as excited about a new movie as I'am with Cap and Avengers.
