Thor

[azsportsfan01]

Is it me or has Natalie Portman been in about every movie that's come out in the last 6 months?

I have no issues with that. It is always great to see her in anything.

As for the movie, it was solid. I think it was best comic book movie since the first Iron Man. Tom Hiddleston was fantastic. Probably my favorite villain in any of the recent comic movies. Really glad to hear he has been signed for a few movies and is supposed to be the main bad guy in The Avengers.

AZ: You're right Hiddleston stole the show...

Portman did a good job in her role...

Well, she is pregnant She had to channel her inner Samuel L Jackson before she misses some time...

Thor. Hubba.

I really enjoyed it. Thought there were some good, funny lines. (Loved the Stark comment!) Liked the action scenes. Definitely a

Saw it this afternoon. I was really, really impressed. Maybe the best comic book movie yet, IMO.

I had a stupid fanboy smile on my face throughout the scene when he redeemed himself through his willingness to sacrifice himself to save Earth and regained his power and Mjilnor. That was an awesome redemption sequence.

Did anyone stay for the post-credit Nick Fury scene?

Looks like Loki is being set up to be the (or "a") villain in the Avengers movie and that the Cosmic Cube will play a central role.

Brought my 4 year old boy with me to see this and he was ready to leave as soon as the credits rolled. Totally forgot about the teaser at the end of these.

How'd the movie go over with your boy? I'm thinking of taking my kids, 5 and 7....but I'm wondering if it might be a little grown-up for them yet...

He has been signed to be in the Avengers.

It was a little long for him but he made it through. He did ask questions all through-out the movie (mostly who is that type questions) but there wasn't anything in the movie that I was worried about him seeing.

I had Friday off so we decided to have a "Man Day" and he got a kick out of that. Plus he had to keep it a secret from his sister and mom which he thought was cool. Training him early.

Went to go see this today. Very good. Not Darknight good but it was up there. I was really worried about this movie being ultra camp but was very impressed that they managed to go between the "fantasy" elements and earth with relative ease.
Definitely having Natalie and Anthony in the movie upped the acting chops a bit for sure. Overall very impressed.

After seeing this movie, I think Joss Whedon has an almost impossible task ahead of him with the Avengers. With all the characters he has to intervweve into the Avengers.....it's going to be a monumental task. He has to give enough screen time to the characters that everybody loves from the individual films while making sure that he is still able to stell the story he wants to tell. Not a fun balancing act for sure.

If he is able to pull this off he needs to be given the best director oscar.

I saw it today.

Honestly, I've never read a thor comic or seen a thor cartoon, the most I've even heard of thor was in that 80's movie Adventures in Babysitting (ahh Elizabeth Shue, how I loved you) where the little girl was obsessed with Thor. So I wasn't really interested in this movie. I was even one of those who thought; 'his weapon is a big hammer? hmm that's kinda lame.'

But I went to see it anyway.

Man I'm so glad I did! I loved it! It was nothing like I expected. There was way more action in Thors world than I thought there would be and it was awesome. I loved the story and all the lore from his world. I loved Portman like always and I thought it had the right amount of humor.

All in all I was plesantly surprised and will probably go see it again.

Forgive me as I don't remember the character names...

But essentially the professor Natalie Portman meets Samuel L. Jackson in a secret place where they have the energy thing from the frost people. Jacksons talks to him about it and they pan to the reflection of the teacher and his reflection is Loki who says something and the teacher repeats what Loki says verbatim.

Loved my comics as a kid and reading this has got me amped to go see Thor and First Class as many ASFN'ers seemed to enjoy them.

I have a OT question for anyone who knows comics. One of my favorite storylines when I was younger was the Infinity Gauntlet. I also think this story line would be an awesome main stream movie (cmon every Marvel Superhero getting killed?) .....has there been any talk, rumors, or innuendo as such?

Speaking of which a X-Men Age of Apocolypse Trilogy would be pretty damn cool IMO.

This coming from a guy who appreciates this world, but hasn't had as much day to day or insight into future movie projects as many others here.

Don't see why you guys were gushing over it - pretty boring movie

Because it wasn't boring.

I recently watched it. Much funnier than I was expecting.

Dang Bert...I was going to post the same thing about Adventures in Babysitting. That was the extent of my Thor knowledge before seeing this.

So I had not seen this movie yet (no clue why, wanted to) and have been itching to see Thor 2 which looks PHENOMENAL for a "see in the theater" movie.

So we watched this as a family today...I loved it. It was awesome. Kind of funny now that we are watching Agents of SHIELD and already seen Avengers to get some of the backplot for both of that...

I always loved Thor (shoutout above to the Adventures in Babysitting reference...ahhh, Elizabeth Shue....) and was excited to see this finally.

Funny, good action, nicely done story, Loki was so well acted...just good all around (and I love natalie portman).

Best line, IMO, was when he drank the coffee and said how good it was, smashed the cup and asked for another and was like "what?" about it. So freaking well done there.

Love me some Thor. I hear Thor 2 is amazing...
