Zoloftjunkie Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Just got back from a midnight showing of Thor and I must say it was pretty bad ass. Was much much better then I thought it would be going in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Swanton825 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 That's not fair! I have to wait until next week to see it. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/mad.png.69834f23b9a8bf290d98375f56f1c794.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crayon Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I have to say that my expectations aren't exactly high, so I'll be really happy if it does rock. Then all that leaves is Captain America to not dissapoint and the Avengers foundation will be solid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juggaloninjalee Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Thor is a movie I was excited about when I found out they were filming it. Lately though I have felt like it won't be that good. Should I see it in theaters or wait do you guys think? I love super hero movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comradebot Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Well, I'm shocked to see it getting the positive reviews it has. As someone who was just casually offered the presidency of the SHSU Viking Society (to which I declined, lol), it IS a film I have a bit of interest in... Buuuuut I'll still probably wait until it comes out on DVD. That said, I've gone from "this is gonna suck, no way am I watching it" to "yeah, guess I'll have to catch it at some point".

I don't know whether you're familiar with the comic book version of Thor or not, but don't expect it to have ANYTHING to do with vikings and Norse mythology except for the names.

ThriceP86 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I thought Thor was cool. Not a huge fan of him but it was fun to watch and fun to see that my friend enjoyed it, he's a big Thor fan. My own favoritism towards Hulk makes me like almost any of movies made for him though. It makes me sad most people don't like Hulk (with Eric Bana) or even the new one with Ed Norton. However, I do realize why the first one wasn't that great but the latest one was so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't have him clad in the same thing Marvel does (but I mean.... He has to wear armor from that era, so I mean... It's still going to be something like it). He's always been described to look about the same as well.... I mean, I don't think I've ever heard him described with curly black hair and a beard (although Heracle's would fit that bill).</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostDogg Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Ghost's Review So I saw Thor last night, and I must say that they did a pretty good job on the movie. I am not saying its something I will watch 5 more times, but they didnt disappoint. But what I am most impressive with the storyline behind "Loki". As if everyone knows, Loki couldnt stand a chance against Thor, especially in Thor's Rage mode. But in the movie they actually made him look like a LEGITIMATE THREAT. GHOST p.s. I also saw the preview for Green Lantern and Cap America. They BOTH look BAD @$$! Chris Evans and Ryan Reynolds has the dubious honor of playing not one Comic Book Characters but 2. Reynolds as Deadpool and Green Lantern, and Evans as Jonny Blaze/Human Torch and Cap America.. Ok. oh and PSS. For those who are TRULY Marvel Fans. A certain "Avenger" makes an appearance. And he is only revealed by his "Signature WEAPON" I am sorry that you guys have been overdosed by geekdom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bookerman Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 For setting up the Avenger movie, I thought it was fine. For setting up a Thor movie franchise, I think it fell short. I have higher hopes for Captain America b/c I think his story has more human draws to it (like Iron Man and Spiderman) than Thor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cappyboy Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Not quite sure what I feel about this movie. I did finally pick up his Essential Volume 1 on Friday after having intended to since before I knew there would be a movie. But he's not necessarily Anybody to me and the fact that the same folks made the Iron Man movies does little to sway me. Iron Man is a junk character to me. I'm more likely to figure out how to yodel effectively in text than I am to ever use those movies as a frame of reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hive Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I saw it yesterday and was thought it was pretty great, much better than I had dared hope for. I'd even go as far as saying that it's about right up there next to the first Iron Man, and heaps better than Iron Man 2 and The Incredible Hulk (the latter which I re-watched today, still a decent superhero flick). It will be pretty hard for Captain American to follow this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
