Thor

Wow, I could not disagree more. I felt this was a B-grade crapfest on a stick. I'd honestly give this movie 1 out of 5 stars and feel I was being generous. I can't think of anything that redeems this movie in any way, shape or form.

Well... sorry you feel that way dude. But, to each his own.

Wow, I could not disagree more.

Of course. Some things never change.

I saw this last night with a bunch of friends and greatly enjoyed it. Hemsworth does a splendid job, as does everybody else. The only real complaint I have is that the Warriors Three and Sif felt underused. Apart from that, it is a pretty, funny and well directed action movie.

Also, some great lines. "We drank, we fought, he made his ancestors proud!"

And after the film, we went out to drink some mead.

Keep these types of comments to the Circus; they have no place here and you should know better.

And hey, what a coincidence: this Saturday evening, SyFy (I still feel silly actually typing that) is releasing their made-for-TV movie, "Almighty Thor." I don't think I'll be able to resist watching it, just to compare it with the Marvel version.

Thor was pretty good. I think some of the Asgard moments went on a bit too long and I would have liked to seen more on Midgard. I liked what they did with Hawkeye eeven though it was a brief cameo they managed to give the character a bit of character and it was easy to recognize elements of him from the comics.

Loki was, "Am I villain? I'm not sure? Maybe now? No... now? No, not yet. OOH! Now I'm a villain! Wait a sec, I wanna be a good guy now!" Most confused character in a movie ever. I think Ken might've been going for depth but instead all he got was a complete mess that made no sense whatsoever.

I didn't see it that way. He made a lot of sense, and he had actual motivation for what he did. He wasn't just the b/w bad guy, like that frost giant king. He played everyone against everyone else. What else would you expect from Loki? He didn't speak the truth to anyone (well, except for the end, when he had to explain his plan to Thor, in order to explain it to the audience).

He simply wasn't a spectacularily bad guy. The focus of the movie wasn't the "defeat of Loki", but the "growth of Thor".

I liked it.

Not superb, and clearly not within the same ballpark as Batman Begins, Iron Man or Spiderman, but it was good.

And I have to agree about Hemsworth and Hiddlestone, they fit really well in their respective roles. Yes, it was kinda cheesy, but hey, it's a superhero flick.

I enjoyed it. The 3D seemed under-utilized. A friend said to me that the 3D was useless, so I pointed out to him that it was not quite as useless as the horses.

He didn't speak the truth to anyone (well, except for the end, when he had to explain his plan to Thor, in order to explain it to the audience).

When you have to explain the plot to the audience, then you've already made cardinal mistakes throughout the movie to that point.

Loki didn't have to be a b/w villain, I'm simply saying that the attempt to give him depth failed (in my eyes) and just made him look like an ineffectual tool without any focus.

Then there were the completely redundant characters. Like Thor's henchmen who served absolutely no purpose in the movie whatsoever. They could've been entirely cut from it and you wouldn't have noticed. The same goes for Jane's friend. The movie was filled with pointless drivel like these characters and yet still had no decent character development in the main characters despite being a two-hour long movie.

Honestly, I'm shocked so many people are saying they liked it; to me it's so blatantly obvious how bad this movie is that I would've thought it'd be the common opinion.

I agree that Loki could have had greater screen presentation to make his motives clearer. I caught all the little moments maybe because I was intently looking for them after having just watched Marvel's animated comic Thor Loki: Blood Brothers, four episodes focused completely on Loki.

It was good stuff.

But fir this movie, Again I think Loki should have had more presentation time.

Heh. I suppose you expected too much from it.
