It's funny how they try to make this a political mess when from what I've read elsewhere it's just as much a pissed off fanboy thing. It's such a painfully obvious bullshit PR move and the writer in that link is too full of his politically correct self that he can't even think of anything else to say that isn't sarcasm

It was alright. I'm not familiar with Thor Comics so can't really comment too much. To give it credit, Thor was an abnormal superhero in the comic sense so they pulled off the god/alien/planetary/rainbowbridge/etc pretty damn well.

I didn't mind the black gatekeeper at all, but the Samurai Norse God...c'mon son. Hopkins was the perfect Odin though!

I don't really care if the movie is good or not, to be honest. Most of my friends who don't care about the comic book character have seen it. But, based on other comic book movie adaptations, I assumed it was bad. I, with shame, admit that I've seen all of Marvel's movies except Iron Man 2 and the only ones I liked were Iron Man and Spider-Man 2. Ghost Rider was okay, I guess. Wolverine Origins was terrible, in my opinion.

You have to be kidding me... :shootme

Thor is the biggest blockbuster bust of the year so far. Over hyped completely.

The entire movie was just a parody of Thor. It was comical, a joke, literally, I was laughing half the time. They spent more time designing the costumes than the script. Generic, predictable, cheesy, thoughtless script. No character development whatsoever. One of the main antagonist was a giant metal robot that shoots fire beams out of it's face. What?

The fact that you compared this to the first Spider-Man, one of the best comic movies ever makes me question you as a human being. That's like comparing The Dark Knight to Batman & Robin.

The worst depiction of Norse mythology ever created. Priest will be more entertaining, that I guarantee.

Take the Godfather out of those movies and they're not so great, either.

You can't just say, "Well that movie would have sucked if not for" when that variable is the very thing that makes the movie great. I watched Saving Private Ryan with Tom Hanks's character green screened out and it was a stupid war movie about a bunch of guys running around in Nazi Germany.

As was Road to Perdition, if we're going to expand this thing to talk about Manga.

From Hell. Watchmen. V for Vendetta. Sin City (almost at the top of the list, as far as I'm concerned, for successfully merging the comic and film formats).

But even limiting the conversation to movies based on superhero comics, as I think was the intention of the original comment, I just don't think Spider-Man ranks very high.

My logic is that without a compelling villain, the potential for a huge flop is there.

Superman, Spiderman, Batman, XMen, Thor all had compelling villains.

I had wondered about Iron Man, but they very adeptly pulled it off without having to use Mandarin.

Maybe they manage to pull it off with the Avengers too, but if they end up using an army of Skrulls, I can see large amounts of failure coming.

You missed the point. Out of all of the villains and untapped fictional potential that Marvel possesses, they go with a robot that shoots shit out of his face.

And to all the Spider-Man haters there's only two movies that had greater character development and overall plot, and that's Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

Most other Marvel movies are just what they are intended to be, entertainment. Albeit, a lot of them turn out to be quite shitty, but entertainment nonetheless.

Except the robot wasn't the villain, it was more of a vessel for the villain.

At least in the movies I would have to go with.

Ra's al Ghul, Joker, and Green Goblin.

I personally love Venom and Carnage, but Spider-Man 3 was unworthy.

Actually it was. The entire movie he was searching for his hammer so he can get back to Asgard. Robot was raping everyone including his friends, he found the hammer, it saved his life and he destroyed the robot. He went from a man back to being a God.

I'm glad I had to explain this to you, are you one of those people that believe the ending in Inception was a dream too?

I thought the movie was a good 2 hours of entertainment and nothing more. I saw it at the Cinemark early bird special, $5 bucks and that's all it's worth.

The CGI looked cheesy in a lot of places but I did love the introduction to this new universe.

ONE BIG problem I did have is: SPOILER : SHIELD's reaction to the big robot. Let me get this straight, they are a secret society of super natural resources / power and they don't call in backup? Isn't this when you call in Stark or one of these other avengers?

I also hate how it's billed as a setup...the Avenger movie is probably going to suck anyway.

I believe the "Cosmic Cube" was created in Captain America's time. So yes, the cube was created long ago. The Red Skull and other villains wanted the cube since it could change reality.


On a side note, one of the "alternative beginnings" in the Incredible Hulk movie shows Captain America frozen underneath the ice. Since his body is preserved in ice I guess that's how he'll be in the Avengers 60 years later.

I think anyone with a functioning brain pan would recognize that the movie was not about a fucking hammer. It was about Thor's quest to regain the throne and his Father's respect both of which were obtained in the final scenes, ergo, the climax of the movie.

Character development > hammer quest.

Actually, the robot is linked to the villian, making him subject to the category.

I'm glad you think this movie has a point other than making Chris Hemsworth a millionare.

You have yet to provide a solid case against the climax being when Thor acquired the hammer, in turn; saving his friends and his human counterpart (most important people to him), becoming invincible (a god) and therefor returning to his rightful heir.

There really is nothing you can say to disprove this, other than saying hurrrp durrp climax is when he fought loki da evil guy!!! hurrrr

Anyway, you swayed off point, I feel the need to repeat my original statement. This time it will be retard proof.

giant metal robot shooting fire out of face = not creative, boring

character development = fails. what other decent movie has the viewers siding on the villains side for justifiable reasons?

getting bitch slapped = not deserving of hammer. he never accomplished anything to earn the hammer.

Thor is in the same category as Batman. I find Jack Nicholson's Joker more intimidating than Loki.

Easily. I know the story behind Thor, but not like the comic guys. It is one of my favorite movies so far this year easily. Very easy to follow, and had alot of very funny, un-cheesy scenes in it. I went in not expecting much at all and came out wanting to see it again in 3-D. And I never usually want to see any movie twice in the theater.
