Thor!
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  ). 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!!!!  OH!!! STAY TILL THE END OF THE CREDITS!!!!!!! |

I thought it was pretty good. Plenty of action, plenty of humour, plenty of inside jokes.
I totally loved Stan Lee's scene.  I loved how Bifrost looked! Didn't expect it to be like that at all. Very realistic.

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... Spoiler:

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.

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...

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
 ) and spraying rocks over the Ice Giants, just tremendous! Quote:

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. |

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. |

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 |

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.

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. |
