Thor
 

Has anyone seen Thor yet how did you like it can you give a quick review plz.

:pimp:

pretty good better then i thought

I have not seen it but very surprised that it is directed by Kenneth Branagh. It does give me a morsel of hope that it is not a dumb fest.

Holy shit, I had no idea! :laughing:

Really? A morsel of hope is too much.

This bastard took the most important myths of Northern Europe and turned it into a limp wristed liberal fairy tale. Mind, these myths were of such potency that the medieval saints of the region weren't running around dying for people's sins; they were slaying dragons.

...and this jackass produces a sanitized, PC, version - complete with Affirmative Action casting. Fantastic. Black northern gods......

It's an adaptation of a mainstream American comic book character who was invented in the early 1960s.

It's pissing on myths that have been disseminated around the world in such quantity, that it is feasible to say they are single most important mythos in the history of mankind. It is a politically motivated assault on heritage.

Now I'm intrigued. I'm going to pay to see it in the theater tomorrow.

:laughing:

the movie is great, much better than I expected

i had problems with a black Heimdall and a Japanese Hogun as well

and I had major issues with Dr. Donald Blake not being a lame

It's not based on the Norse myths/legends/folklore, it's based on the Marvel Comics superhero. But then I guess it's easy to miss the gigantic "MARVEL STUDIOS" logo at the beginning of the film.

oh my god

I thought it was pretty good. It translated to the screen a lot better than I thought it would. Really excited for The Avengers now.

Thor was great you guys! Much, much better than I expected. The effects were cool too, but didn't distract from the story. Natalie Portman was cute and funny and Chris Hemsworth fit the lead roll perfectly. I was also surprised to find out Kenneth Branagh directed this, but gotta say...good going Ken. And, for those who don't like excessive violence, swearing or sex, it was good, clean fun for the whole family.

Definitely one of the better comic book adaptations out there.

What? Hollywood raping European literature and history for it's own cosy ends? Never!

Have you seen Valhalla Rising? I think that it would blow your mind (unless you don't like introspective cinema that is!). It's very slow and ponderous but probably the best recreation of the Dark Ages I have ever seen on film.

Where is the fun in that? Sounds even worse now :(

It was decent for me, not too good, not too bad. Great effects and story....But just kinda crappy moments at times...

Get in touch with your inner child, go see it, and don't throw a temper tantrum!

Yeah, it's not "Thor", it's "MARVEL'S Thor". No reason to be boorish and take **** seriously.... christ.

Nope, never even heard of Valhalla Rising. I'll have to check it out.

Lately I've been watching a lot of westerns or movies with western motifs. Films like Ghost Dog, Jr. Bonner, Wild Bunch, Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia, High Plains Drifter, El Norte, etc.

I've also had my mind ****ed by the discovery that the elderly are not wrong in heaping praise on Breakfast at Tiffanys and Casablanca.

I take issue with Marvel fooling around with norse mythology Thor was a fun watch but eh.. Thor wasn't Thor the adventurer god of thunder and Loki wasn't Loki the god of wit, fire, and missdemeaner at least not for me.

I saw the movie and there was some eye candy but the plot was disappointing and it never had any hope of me taking it seriously.

I wore my mjölner pendant when I went to see it. :)

3-D was ok, but not necessary. Would rather have paid less money and simply watched it in regular 2-D.

in retrospect, Thor is a much better movie than First Class or Green Lantern will ever be

I haven't seen any of those yet, but I think X-Men looks much, much cooler than Thor or Lantern. The one I'm really excited for, though, is Captain America.

the only problem I have with Captain America is the uniform - why a jacket? why Army khaki pants?

To me, Thor felt like a 90s Movie-Of-The Week with a big budget. I wasn't a huge fan of the directing style. Also, the romantic angle just didn't sell for me. There wasn't any real motivation for it.

The action sequences at the beginning though were pretty awesome.
