The God of Thunder

Thomas Edison:
Saw it at the IMAX. Was quite impressed with what I saw. It didn't blow me away but it was a very solid film I thought.

Lines:
That was a fun movie. The one liners were pretty great and seeing him bumble about as a mortal was enjoyable. ("How dare you threaten the son of Odin with such a puny weapon!" and the subsequently being tasered cracked me up.)

Also the preview for Capt. America looks good!

Torlek:
If you were to take Iron Man as just an action piece, I think Thor is almost it's equal. However Thor keeps it's story simple; Thor acts like a douche, Odin doesn't like this and kicks Thor out, Thor needs to learn to not be such a douche so he can get his magic hammer back and smite something with it. I was worried about how Branagh would transition to an action director but anything involving the Asgardians demands to be over the top and bombastic and that's exactly what he provides. The references to Marvel lore are more obscure to the non-comic enthusiast than they were in Iron Man or Incredible Hulk but the post-credits scene for this one pretty much tells us who the big bad for Avengers is going to be. Hemsworth is pretty much perfect in his role, particularly when he's showing Thor's obliviousness to Earth customs ("I need a horse!"). However most of the supporting cast just feels there except for Hopkins who chews scenery like he's starving and it's made of cake. I was quite impressed by the score, it felt appropriately epic and classic fantasy but had some shades of Hans Zimmer. The 3D, at least in the IMAX, was superfluous but unobtrusive. All in all it does an excellent job of introducing one of the more off the wall Marvel heroes to the populace and the setting and characters are ripe for a sequel. It's summer blockbuster done right.

Blue Kitty:
I was surprised at how funny the film was, quite a few times the entire theater was cracking up. I really enjoyed the Warriors Three, though I thought the movies portrayal of Hogun was a little odd. I thought Loki was spot on.



Speaking of before-the-movie trailers, my girlfriend is really excited for X-men: First Class

Tom:
I hear the game tie-in fridges Sif.
