[QUOTE="horacethegrey, post: 5545937, member: 40123"] Wow. I've just seen it. And just... wow. This is a great film translation of the Marvel Comic's God of Thunder. I was worried it'd be a cheesy superhero flick. Well, it is cheesy somewhat... but completely AWESOME at the same time. [B]SPOILERS AHEAD!!! BEWARE!!![/B] [U]LIKES[/U] - Chris Hemsworth. Besides his bit part in [I]Star Trek[/I] as Kirk's dad, I hadn't seen Hemsworth in anything. So I had doubts he could pull it off. But such doubts we're removed the moment he steps onscreen. He totally nails the part. Hemsworth makes Thor's journey from blinding arrogance to humbled wisdom totally believable. An incredible performance that ranks among the best in the genre such as Robert Downey Jr. ([I]Iron Man[/I]) and Christopher Reeve ([I]Superman[/I]). - Loki. Where Hemsworth is loud and boisterous as Thor, Tom Hiddleston is sly and cunning as the God of Mischief. I'm surprised though that they made Loki's motivations for his evil deeds sympathetic, but it works in the context of the film. Hiddleston displays great range and manages to steal the show in some scenes. - Odin. I had fears that Hannibal Lecter was gonna ham it up as the All Father. But rest assured, Anthony Hopkins brings nothing but gravitas and authority as Odin. - Asgard. Now that's a realm worthy of gods. I'm especially fond of the imagery of it being an island floating amongst the stars. And it's populated by beings who do feel godly, from Sif to the Warrior's Three. I wish though, that they made it less futuristic and more viking like. - Laughs aplenty. I'm suprised by the amount of comedy in the film. But it works, and doesn't feel forced. It only serves to emphasise Thor's fish out of water situation. DISLIKES - Forst Giants. Dude, c'mon! Frost Giants! Emphasis on the 'giant' part. They're supposed to be 12 foot tall beings clad in white. Not 7 foot Orc rejects. Well. That's all I have to say. Great film, and probably the best superhero flick I've since [I]Iron Man[/I]. Do yourselves a favor and have great time, I certainly did. [/QUOTE]
