Thor News and Pics Thread: Impending Super Bowl Spot Edition - Part 4

[JP]

Variety is positive.

[Vartha]

If only 20 people out of 100 rave about a restaurant would you risk spending your money? People want value for money.

It's not the critics job to do research about comic characters you know.
If they're being paid it IS, or not compare anything to another film unless they know a bit of history behind what they're saying.

[Vartha]

Scarf host. It was so early in the morning and when he interviewed Hemsworth...spawning comments saying, "PUNCH HIM!" I laughed so hard.

The scarf guy and the midget crazy cameraman(those who watched the chat know).
hahaha yeah not many people liked that little dude.

[Vartha]

Being Mister Stark & working with Paramount/Marvel has it's own privileges)
lol cheater. :woot:

[jmc]

whoops double.

[lixdexia]

If they're being paid it IS, or not compare anything to another film unless they know a bit of history behind what they're saying.
vartha, that's just wrong. they're not critiquing thor as a character or his history, their job is to critique the film thor as a stand alone movie. that job requires no research into his mythos.

[Brian Braddock]

Agreed. Though, you guys are lucky to see it so soon. People like me who live in the U.S. have to wait until May 6th!

Waitaminute - you mean the U.K. is getting the movie before you guys?

Why?

[jmc]

If they're being paid it IS, or not compare anything to another film unless they know a bit of history behind what they're saying.

Dude, come on, it's not the critics or the audiences job to know anything about the character. If knowledge is required then it's a bad film.

[meltdown28]

If only 20 people out of 100 rave about a restaurant would you risk spending your money? People want value for money.


A place where I have to buy food and do something, you know, thats integral to me living on this earth, and me going to see a film is two different things.

[Vartha]

A paid CRITIC is a reporter, unless you work for they enquirer and make stuff up you RESEARCH what you REPORT.

[kedrell]

If only 20 people out of 100 rave about a restaurant would you risk spending your money? People want value for money.

Ok, but using your analogy...let's say there reviewing a Chinese restaurant. But many of them right off the bat really don't care much for Asian food. But they do it anyway because they are the food critics for whatever site/periodical they represent. Shouldn't those negative reviews from them simply be dismissed as null and void? Because that's what often is the case with regard to ANY genre of film. You get critics reviewing them who really don't like or have any affinity for the genre they are reviewing. IMO, if you don't have an appreciation of the genre of film or ethnic cuisine that you are reviewing then you'd be better off not bothering in the first place.

It's not the critics job to do research about comic characters you know.

This I agree with. Who wants to have to do homework to watch a film? But that's not to say that doing so can't enhance your experience.

[lixdexia]

A paid CRITIC is a reporter, unless you work for they enquirer and make stuff up you RESEARCH what you REPORT.
no, a critic is a critic, someone who is paid to give an opinion on a piece of work. a reporter is paid to objectively relay facts. they are two entirely different professions. again though, the critic is paid to assess the work on it's own merits not the merits the work AND of 50 yrs of thor comics.

[Vartha]

Dude, come on, it's not the critics or the audiences job to know anything about the character. If knowledge is required then it's a bad film.
Like I said in that post JMC, a MINIMUM of three so called critics said FF were copies of the incredibles, CRUD like that leads to bad press, they had no idea what they were talking about and Shouldn't have said anything without knowing what they're talking about.

[JP]

A place where I have to buy food and do something, you know, thats integral to me living on this earth, and me going to see a film is two different things.
Not really... a night out having dinner and going to the movies are likened as the same. They're both "fun". And many times people look at reviews to make sure they getting bang for their buck.

[jmc]

A place where I have to buy food and do something, you know, thats integral to me living on this earth, and me going to see a film is two different things.

The same principle still applies. It's easy to say 'just see it and make you're own mind up', take into consideration people's finances, many folks only go to the cinema a couple times of year, they look for what's worth paying for, and that's why sites like RT are important. If 70% of critics are saying a film is crap, why in the hell would people want to spend their money on it? On the chance they may like it? I'm kinda sick of this mentality that critics are pointless, they serve a purpose, they are the ones who have to sit through hours of crap films each week so we don't have to.

[Vartha]

no, a critic is a critic, someone who is paid to give an opinion on a piece of work. a reporter is paid to objectively relay facts. they are two entirely different professions. again though, the critic is paid to assess the work on it's own merits not the merits the work AND of 50 yrs of thor comics.
Then they shouldn't say anything like they did with the FF/Incredibles because it WAS NOT an opinion that they ASSUMED.

[The Morningstar]

Like I said in that post JMC, a MINIMUM of three so called critics said FF were copies of the incredibles, CRUD like that leads to bad press, they had no idea what they were talking about and Shouldn't have said anything without knowing what they're talking about.

I can understand your beef with the F4 thing. That's just flat out ignorant on the critics part. And there is nothing the movie could have done apart from mention that the F4 had been around for 60 years... which would have been, well, ridiculous.

But yea, you shouldn't have to have knowledge of specific comics or any previous source material to critique a film. The film itself should stand on it's own. It should work with no prior knowledge of the characters or the universe.

[jmc]

Ok, but using your analogy...let's say there reviewing a Chinese restaurant. But many of them right off the bat really don't care much for Asian food.

You're missing the point, if the vast majority of people are saying something is crap, film, food, TV whatever, regardless of what their taste is, then there's something wrong with the product. People want value for money and critiques are important in helping people.

[IronMan_MarkV]

I saw one of those movie guides for Thor at the bookstore yesterday, it was pretty cool. Had a lot of great concept art, alot of pics, plus a few nice shots of Sif.

Was this the "art of" book or something else?

[Aesop Rocks]

Peter from /Film and Steve from Collider liked the movie.

[The Morningstar]

You're missing the point, if the vast majority of people are saying something is crap, film, food, TV whatever, regardless of what their taste is, then there's something wrong with the product. People want value for money and critiques are important in helping people.

True. But bias, one way or the other, doesn't help anyone.

[Aesop Rocks]

They're also opening up Thor is Australia because the global market > american market.

[Vartha]

To ME I would rather depend on a Friend's word like any of you guys over a Critic. MOST are very well versed in film I understand that, but when they have a taste for certain films they dislike others like a snob.

I had an ART teacher like that that said ANY Fanasty Art wasn't art at, yet I pointed out that Frazetta, Boris and so on were making tons of money while he sat there as a teacher.

It's blind snobs like that, that irritate me.

[lixdexia]

Then they shouldn't say anything like they did with the FF/Incredibles because it WAS NOT an opinion that they ASSUMED.
here's the problem with that vartha: were they comparing them as films or as franchises? if as films then calling f4 a ripoff of the incredibles is completely valid. if as franchises then yes it was a factual error, but doesn't everyone make mistakes? as a critics job is to express opinion and not relay fact, isn't that the kind of factual error that would be easy for someone unfamiliar with the fantastic four to make?

if that sort of thing dissuades you from considering that reviewers critique then more power to you, but it doesn't invalidate everything anyone in their profession has ever said. end of the day all they're doing is expressing opinions, either you'll agree with them or you won't.

[kedrell]

I got your point. Mine is that you really need to separate the wheat from the chaff, as it were to get a more accurate idea of whether it's worth your $. If out of those 100 reviewers, 30 just really weren't much interested in the type of cuisine in the first place(they simply did it because it's their job and likely would have skipped it entirely otherwise) and just about all of those 30 gave a negative review then the results are skewed and we have an inaccurate depiction. Better to just chuck those 30 out the window and say that 20 out of 70(that all actually enjoy this type of cuisine) gave it a positive review. That's all I'm saying.

[Vartha]

Peter from /Film and Steve from Collider liked the movie.
didn't they say that earlier?

[Aesop Rocks]

guess so.

[Vartha]

Lix it's more than just that. There are very few Critics I even like.
As I just said, I'd rather go by what anyone HERE would say over what most Critics would say.

[Double Down]

A review by someone who is intimately aware of every detail of Thor's history is just as valuable to one kind of reader as a review from someone who knows little to nothing about the character is to another. I think it's quite valuable to have both kinds of reviewers, plus a wide spectrum within.

[kedrell]

True. But bias, one way or the other, doesn't help anyone.

I'll go you one further. I'd say that bias against is worse than bias for something when regarding reviews. Both aren't good for getting an accurate idea of how something really is(good or bad) but at least those biased FOR it have a legit reason to be there in the first place(even if their objectivity is compromised by being fanboys or whatever). Those who are biased against? Why do they even bother since they clearly have no interest(except maybe in trying to tear down an entire genre that they hate or simply don't understand). They're approaching it from the standpoint of people who likely would never have had any interest in seeing it anyway. So again I ask, why bother?

[Vartha]

Waitaminute - you mean the U.K. is getting the movie before you guys?

Why?
no Clue

[lixdexia]

Lix it's more than just that. There are very few Critics I even like.

and that's cool, but that doesn't make all critics full of crap or responsible for having knowledge of thor going into the film.

[Enlil]

A cool new interview of Kenneth Branagh and Chris Hemsworth :

True but many people don't go that route sadly.
Another similar example was when Ang's Hulk came out I was talking with a co-worker who'd never seen the comic book but was an AVID fan of the TV show and was trying to tell me that the Hulk looked nothing like he should. I had to show her an OLDER comic book to show her where the character came from. She was suprised. Granted Ang's Hulk was too huge but he looked more like Hulk than Lou did. lol

[Project862006]

Steve From Collider said this about Hemsworth as Thor!!
Chris Hemsworth. When you call your movie Thor, you’d better get someone that looks the part and makes you believe the character could be real. Huge points to whoever cast Hemsworth as he’s on the same level as Robert Downey Jr. in Iron Man. When Hemsworth was wielding Mjolnir and fighting against the (edited for people that don’t like spoilers), I was completely sold and smiling from ear to ear. Thor has one of the best action scenes in any Marvel movie.
Marvel/ Kenneth Branagh/the Screenwriters found a way to connect Thor to the rest of the Marvel universe and make it believable. In every Marvel movie they ask for one “reach” from the audience. In Iron Man that someone could build a robot suit and fly around. In The Incredible Hulk, that gamma rays could turn a man into a monster. With Thor, they’re asking audiences to take their biggest leap yet. Thankfully, they sold it and if audiences believe, Thor has opened the door to many other characters.

[Vartha]

and that's cool, but that doesn't make all critics full of crap or responsible for having knowledge of thor going into the film.
no lol I'd just rather go by what we as comic nerds think over the critic's "opinion".
The only Critic I really liked was Siskel actually.:csad:

[meltdown28]

Agree to disagree folks. Regardless of what the critics say, and its been overall positive anyways, ill still be seeing the movie.

I really doubt ill dislike it either, so it is what it is.

hehe I KNOW I'll love it before even seeing it. lol

[Hurm...]

Good to know Hemsworth is selling the role. If Hemsworth can sell it like RDJ, this will do great at the box office.

[Vartha]

Steve From Collider said this about Hemsworth as Thor!!
MAN I can't wait!!!!!

[kedrell]

Good to know Hemsworth is selling the role. If Hemsworth can sell it like RDJ, this will do great at the box office.

That(and the story being at least decent) IMO are the 2 single most important aspects of the film. Looking good so far.

[BoredGuy]

I'm such a geek that every time it rains, I get more excited to see this movie

[jacobed]

Did you guys read that rotten review on RT. It wasn't even that bad, the guy just admitted he's sick of comic book movies and that the performances were good and that the movie doesn't really take any chances. He gave the movie a C+ not really rotten if you ask me.

[Flemm]

There are some reviews like that for every movie like this, so I would take it more as a positive thing. Basically, if the poor reviews have nothing worse to say about it than that, all is well.

Yeah, that was the one that got me on a tangent asking why he even bothered to review the movie. If you're going to give a proper review, please go into it with at least a genuine open mind. That little I expect from a professional at least.

[TheCorpulent1]

I can understand that. There have been a lot of comic movies in the past 10 years, and they don't look like they're slowing down anytime soon.

Not that I have any problem whatsoever with that. :)

[jacobed]

At least he was somewhat professional in his review admitting that its not his type of movie and saying that there is an audience for it and that its a good movie. He didn't really have anything negative to say about it, just that he didn't really like the characters which is fine not all of us are going to connect with a film. At least he didn't go on a big rant about how terrible he thought it was or anything.

[kedrell]

True, but the whole review was basically pointless as far as I could see. And if there's no point then why do it? Oh yeah, to get a paycheck.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Lix it's more than just that. There are very few Critics I even like.
As I just said, I'd rather go by what anyone HERE would say over what most Critics would say. I have to agree. I don't trust critics often.

[jacobed]

Ah he probably didn't have a choice. I'm not sure how the whole reviewers process works maybe he's high enough to where he can choose but I'm guessing he had to go review it since its his job.

[kedrell]

Fair enough, but then my ire turns toward the whole way the critic industry(do they qualify as an industry?) is set up. It's unnecessarily flawed.

[Gamma Burst]

Great to see those good reviews about Thor! Can't wait until April 29th!!

[darkslayer101]

3 weeks seems like 3 yrs....

The first teaser of Thor that made me smile so hard during school! TO YOU! :thor:

[jthom19802]

I haven't read any of these threads because I am here for the Superman and a couple other areas of the forum, but I did just see a commercial so I figured I'd ask because my curiosity is struck.

How do most Thor fans feel about Natalie Portman as the lead here? I just ask because while I recognize that she is a very good actress, she is still just hit or miss for me depending on the role.

[Son of Coul]

She's a good actress who's great to have onboard, especially for marketing to the GA that adores her-- and believe me, it's working.

[Gamma Burst]

I honestly think she was a great choice for the role of Jane Foster.

[herolee10]

On a sidenote, I'm surprised that we haven't gotten more clips from this film, and that we only have 3 Clips from it, especially when the film is coming out soon. I remember on how some comic book films would release like 6-7 clips from the film.

[JP]

80% Hope it stays that way or rises!

[kedrell]

IM1 started out in the 70%'s for the 1st dozen reviews. Then shot up to the 90%'s. Anything can still happen.

[Crimson King]

Jaime Alexander in that interview... I call dibs.

[jthom19802]

Thank you for the answers. Always good to see some positivity regarding an actor/actress; especially before the thing comes out.

[BigThor]

I just saw an Acura commercial that said "the official car of the film Thor, and they also showed like 15 secs worth of tv spot footage for Thor.

[Sgt.Pepper]

I'm so glad that Thor is getting good reviews so far.

[BigThor]

Good to hear Sgt. Pepper, you're DEFINATLEY not the only one!!!:thor: :up:

O HELL YEAH!

EDIT: Post 9000 Woot Woot

[MikeFrost]

80% made out of 4 positive and 1 negative review.

On which the positive reviews, placed it with a 3.5/4 out of 5.

I'd sit on my ass and wait before I start cheering this early if I were you.

Yep, that's what I'm doing, but keep in mind that even Iron Man got off to a rocky start (70%).

[Vartha]

What's getting me is Kenneth said that what we're going to see IS the director's cut, kind of like 13th warrior being the directors cut (which is BS because there was a special with cut scenes.) Anyway I wonder if they'll go into detail with easter eggs in the film on the DVD.
I have a nasty feeling like IM2's "special" blu ray we'll get the same thing with Thor. I hope blu-ray player drop in price.

Negative Nancy :o

[BigThor]

There's been several more new reviews btw, the newer ones are much more positive than those five RT reviews, the majority of them are 4/5's/ 4.5/5's, and 5/5's.

I've also seen several comments such as...

"Best Marvel movie yet"
"Definatley as good as Iron Man"
"Easily the most fascinating multi-layerd Marvel hero yet"
"Considerable lifts Marvel's stock"
"A dazzling example of a superhero film done right"

[flickchick85]

I have to say, I'm particularly encouraged by the positive reviews from people who were turned off by the trailers (and Hemsworth's delivery in them), as I was. That's gotta be a good sign. Seeing him getting all these great notices, even in the less positive reviews, is increasing my hype level by the second. :D :up:

[BigThor]

Hemsworth's performance is HIGHLY praised in almost EVER SINGLE review I've seen so far and there's been several comparisons to RDJ's Stark (in terms of his performance).

There's quite a few praising Hiddleston as well but it seems like Thor steals the show, I guess Chris said "I say thee NAY, the villain will not outshine the superhero in this film" (Thor voice).

[Vartha]

Yeah Flickchick I'd like to see what those people are saying actually.

Armond White's review should be interesting to say the least. lol

[jacobed]

Stupid movie needs to come out now

[Vartha]

Blu rays are pretty cheap at wal mart now a days
the players are? I saw a regular dvd player for 30 bucks. lol

[BigThor]

I got a PS3 and I must say, Iron Man 2 looks amazing on Blu-Ray so I can't wait to see how Thor looks.

[Wolvieboy17]

I wouldn't put any stock in the negative reviews at all. My friend saw the premiere and reviewed it quite highly. I just read his review and apart from admittedly geeky gripes (Volstagg not being fat enough, not enough helmet wearing) he thought it was a fantastic, fun, visually dazzling film. He even said the 3D conversion was so good it almost looked like it was filmed in 3D and this guy HATES 3D Conversion.

Cool cool, good to hear that Wolvie :word:

I'm gonna remain pretty optimistic until I see it myself and until we have enough reviews to get a feel of the universal consensus (a few weeks).

I'll watch it at least twice. :)

[Wolvieboy17]

At least 3 times for me

[henry_9305]

10 days left for my country.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I'll probably see this 2 or 3 times. Defenitely 2. :up:

[Sam Fisher]

the players are? I saw a regular dvd player for 30 bucks. lolDoesn't Wally World sell one for under $100?

[spidey-dude]

one week today!!!

[Brian Braddock]

Mate of mine managed to get [through his job] a couple of free tickets for one of the 3D showings next Tuesday at the Odeon at Switch Island, Spidey. He's give one of them to me instead of his girlfriend (nice to see that he's got his priorities straight) :D

Thor for free - how cool is that?

[ultimatefan]

It´s good to see that the initial reviews are positive. We´ll have a clearer idea of the general consensus when it gets closer to release.

[elgaz]

Can't wait to see this film. Hemsworth seems very charismatic and has plenty of life in him in the short clips we've seen so far.

In a way, he's in a comparable situation to how Brandon Routh was - both big, physically powerful guys headlining Superhero movies with very little in the way of extensive movie experience behind them. Hemsworth just comes across as totally owning the screen though, which was something Routh didn't do.

[Spideyfan93]

OMFG! I can't wait any longer!

So glad to see the positive reviews! This feels like the Iron Man of 2011.

[Ahura Mazda]

Lets see I am think 3 to 4 times.

[Crimson King]

Good to see the reviews are praising Hemsworth. I always thought he looked the part, but hearing he sold the character is great.

I'm seeing the midnight showing. Just found out that a bunch of guys at work are taking off an extra hour at lunch to see it, so I'll have two showings in 24 hours. :)

[StarkTheProdigy]

I can't wait! I have plans to see it opening night, opening day, and then the day after! I'm so excited!

[marcvader]

I'll probably see it twice, once with the lady then with the boys.

[kedrell]

http://www.myspacefx.net/import/graphics/Funny_Graphics_and_Pics/lol-cats_i-love-this-thread-so-much.jpg

[marcvader]

Aww, you're such a softy.

[Iceman]

Great start to the reviews. Go Thor!!

[kedrell]

Definitely at least once and very likely twice on opening weekend(so long as I enjoy it the first time). Possibly more than that if I really enjoy it, which I hope I do. But I've been burned by positive consensus plenty of times so I'll make up my own mind when I see it. I am optimistic though.

[Iron_Stark]

I'm going to see it at the midnight release, then that Sunday when I have the day off.

CAN. NOT. WAIT.

[ladyloki]

I am loving the reviews right now ... I plan on seeing it with my brother his birthday is that week so I am treating him to this epic movie . but he has no idea what I really got him ( which is a dc online statue of green arrow ) . Then I will be seeing it with my friends some who want to see it and others that will be "persuaded" to go . Finally if I want to see it again , and I have the day free well I might just see an afternoon show :yay:

OMG I cant wait ... btw kedrell I love that picture it's too cute :yay:

[Vartha]

lol, so how many times do you guys plan on seeing Thor in theaters once it comes out?
As many times as my budget will allow. :D

[kedrell]

Well I've got either two or three weeks of paid vacation this year(need to check on which it really is) and I'm breaking it up into 3 or 4 day segments to coincide with Thor, Cap, X-Men, Cowboys/Aliens & GL. Thor's getting 4 of my vacation days. Hope it's well spent. Really liking how there's stuff to see all through the summer this year. Last year after IM2 I was like, "well, that was a short summer at the movies for me".

[Cth]

And a more detailed version of the post-credits spoiler..


In the scene Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) travels to New Mexico to meet with Dr. Selvig (Stellan Skarsgard). He is there to discuss recent discoveries Selvig has made regarding alternate universes. He is also there to get Selvig's advice about a large metal case, which contains the Tesseract/Cosmic Cube.

When Selvig asks what it is, Fury responds that it is a source of immense power. The camera then pans back to Selvig, and a reflection reveals that Selvig is now being possessed by Loki (Tom Hiddleston), who says: "That's very interesting."

Still wondering about a timeline for that Cth.

[Doctor Jones]

It's good to hear about these positive reviews, even if we're three weeks away. if this film was bad, we would be hearing about it in these reviews. I still will remain realistic, as anything could happen, but at least it's a good sign so far.

[Pac-Master]

I agree. I'm happy with the reviews so far.

[Chewy]

[Iceman]

I will see it twice if it's crap. Many more depending how good it is!


I wouldn't put any stock in the negative reviews at all. My friend saw the premiere and reviewed it quite highly. I just read his review and apart from admittedly geeky gripes (Volstagg not being fat enough, not enough helmet wearing) he thought it was a fantastic, fun, visually dazzling film. He even said the 3D conversion was so good it almost looked like it was filmed in 3D and this guy HATES 3D Conversion.Volstagg not being fat enough I can cope with lol.

I am loving the reviews right now ... I plan on seeing it with my brother his birthday is that week so I am treating him to this epic movie . but he has no idea what I really got him ( which is a dc online statue of green arrow ) . Then I will be seeing it with my friends some who want to see it and others that will be "persuaded" to go . Finally if I want to see it again , and I have the day free well I might just see an afternoon show :yay:

OMG I cant wait ... btw kedrell I love that picture it's too cute :yay:Wow, what a cool sister!

[Iceman]

Well I've got either two or three weeks of paid vacation this year(need to check on which it really is) and I'm breaking it up into 3 or 4 day segments to coincide with Thor, Cap, X-Men, Cowboys/Aliens & GL. Thor's getting 4 of my vacation days. Hope it's well spent. Really liking how there's stuff to see all through the summer this year. Last year after IM2 I was like, "well, that was a short summer at the movies for me".Excellent use of vacation time sir!

And a more detailed version of the post-credits spoiler..

That's great. Love that Cap will be cross referenced even before it comes out.

[Wolvieboy17]

Wow, totally. Cool sister cool person all around... I want a Green Arrow statue :P

Okay, I have no idea how to imbed, but the reviewer friend of mine who saw the movie? He also interviewed Hiddleston and Alexander. Here's the link! :D :D :D

I'm still so jazzed he met them!

Edit: PS, how DO I embed?

[steintym]

Glad to hear most of the reviews have been positive. From the buts we've seen, I just can't imagine this disappointing, everything has looked so good (I have been disappointed before, though).

Unfortunately, I'll probably have to soak everything in with one showing, unless the wife stays home with our baby and let's me go solo. I'll definitely be getting the DVD diwn the road for multiple showings.

[kedrell]

Excellent use of vacation time sir!

I think so. It's become a summer tradition for me ever since 2008 when I took vacation time to see IM1.

[ladyloki]

Thanks Iceman and Wolvieboy17 for those nice comments :yay: , I think everyone here is pretty cool and I have fun on these boards . !!

Tom Hiddleston is making a fan of me. I dig that dude.

Also, still calling dibs on Jaime. MINE! :cmad:

[Raiden]

I've been reading up the reviews and they get me really excited about Thor, which is only 3 weeks away. Unfortunately, my carefully-laid plan to see the movie has been derailed because what was to be my day off when the movie comes out is now occupied by a babysitting duty, so I'm looking at all the possibilities, including using my vacation time to take time off from work to see it. I don't want to miss this movie for the summer.

Tom Hiddleston is making a fan of me. I dig that dude.

Tom's gay? HE CAN'T PLAY LOKI!! :cmad:

Lol - I'm just joking; just wanted to see if there was a reaction given that a friend of mine was convinced that Tom was gay.

I personally dont think that he is, not that it means a jot.

[Aesop Rocks]

Personally I don't care, and if he was, it'd just prove how dedicated to the role of Loki he is. ;)

[Brian Braddock]

:D

Still dont know where that friend of mine got it into his head though.

[Chewy]

Was Loki gay in the comics? NO! Then a gay actor definitely can't play him. Think of what the press will say.

:cwink:

[Crimson King]

OMG YOU GUYS...what if Loki were black AND gay. America would be ruined.

[ladyloki]

I don't think he is either but it dont matter regardless , he seems to be a very talented and a down to earth person thats all that matters . I cant wait to see him and all the others in the movie .

[Chewy]

OMG YOU GUYS...what if Loki were black AND gay. America would be ruined.
As long as he's a gay black American it's not 100% ruined. Only 82%.

THOR Dr. Pepper Commercial http://**************.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=35487

[Whiskey Tango]

http://uk.movies.yahoo.com/blog/article/163539/thorreviewed.html

The first big comic book movie of the year is a real hammer blow to the genre. Chris Hemsworth is perfectly cast in the lead role and director Kenneth Branagh shows a complete understanding of the material. The film's grasp on what entertains is second to none in recent years, and outside of the Nolan universe this is the best superhero film since 'Spider-Man'.

:awesome:

[JP]

That sounds like an overstatement. Not in that Thor isn't that good, but that there hasn't been another film as good since Spider-Man.. :dry:

[Spider-Fan]

High praise for Thor so far :up:

Though I disagree on SM1 being the pinnacle of comic films. Love it, but it is still flawed and SM2 is far better.

[JP]

I'd argue Spider-Man 2, Iron Man and X2 are all far better films than the first Spider-Man.

[Spider-Fan]

I'd argue Spider-Man 2, Iron Man and X2 are all far better films than the first Spider-Man.

I'm not a huge fan of the X-Men films, but IM1 and SM2 I def agree. I'd also prob say TIH, too. But, I am not sure how many would agree with me on TIH (I feel it is very underrated).

[lixdexia]

i'd only agree on iron man

[Vartha]

High praise for Thor so far :up:

Though I disagree on SM1 being the pinnacle of comic films. Love it, but it is still flawed and SM2 is far better.
No SM1 may not have been the pinnacle, but, I think if it weren't made Marvel may not have gotten this far with their own movies.
SM1 showed there WAS an interest in Marvel properties.

[JP]

I thought X-Men did that...

[Chewy]

X-Men did it first but Spider-Man exploding to so many box office records and beating Star Wars that year is arguably what made the genre what it is

[Vartha]

Heh I still remember standing in Line looking at the Marquee and the way the letters were line up it said, S P Iderman, I said aloud to my bud, Who is this guy? :D

[Spider-Fan]

No SM1 may not have been the pinnacle, but, I think if it weren't made Marvel may not have gotten this far with their own movies.
SM1 showed there WAS an interest in Marvel properties.

I totally agree with you on this, but the reviewer was talking in term of quality based on that line from the review, and purely on quality, I disagree. SM1 was a very important film, there is no denying that, and I love the film. But, it has flaws.

[Vartha]

Sure it does, every film like that will. I still like the film tho. :D

[Parker Wayne]

I thought X-Men did that...

X-men is like John Travolta's Look Who's Talking to Spider-man's Pulp Fiction.

X-men helped renew interest in the superhero genre, but Spider-man helped complete blow it up and made the genre a really hot commodity again. Spider-man was the first movie to make 100 million in one weekend.

[Wolvieboy17]

Personally, I still think XM1 and 2 are better made films. They both had such tight narratives, great plot driven films.

[terry78]

So when First Class comes out, will that be the best superhero movie since the Nolan verse, and so forth and so on?

There is gonna be a ****load of rhetoric in reviews this summer regarding superhero movies.

[Parker Wayne]

Even though I think Spider-man 1 is better XM1 and same for the sequels, I was talking about commercial success.

[Spider-Fan]

Personally, I still think XM1 and 2 are better made films. They both had such tight narratives, great plot driven films.

X1 might be tighter, but I found Magneto's plot stupid.

[Wolvieboy17]

Yeah, harder to rationalise I know. X2 was fantastic though. Still one of my favourite films of all time. Everything in that film was more precise and perfect (IMO, IMO, blah blah)

[Chewy]

It makes me laugh how certain American web journos who have yet to see the film but have been hating on it for months are trying to spin the positive reviews as a bad thing.

[Raiden]

Yeah, harder to rationalise I know. X2 was fantastic though. Still one of my favourite films of all time. Everything in that film was more precise and perfect (IMO, IMO, blah blah)

Yeah, I love X2 as well. I think both X2 and Spider-man 2 were much better than their predecessors in terms of quality. Unfortunately, both trilogy ended up in a whimper. I hope since IM2 is perceived as a worse movie than IM1, they will be able to redeem themselves with IM3.

Harry loved it.

[rashad]

Not surprising.

[BigThor]

I just read a review where they were praising Thor and Jane's romantic relationship, so it might not be as mediocre as some are making it out to be.

Oh and here's the Acura commercial - http://youtu.be/8yLGEKB_4Go

[protocida]

After-credits scene.

Dr. Erik Selvig (Stellan Skarsgaard) - Jane Foster's (Natalie Portman) mentor - visits a SHIELD base, where he meets with Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson). They have already met before and appear to be old friends.

Fury tells Selvig that they've made advances in the study of Parallel Universes, and pulls a metal briefcase. He says that, inside, there is a source of great power that they've recently acquired and wish to learn how to control. He opens it, revealing the Cosmic Cube.

Selvig smiles. The reflection in a glass wall on the side of Selvig reveals that he isn't truly Selvig, but Loki (Tom Hiddleston) in disguise. "This is very interesting", says Loki's reflection, as the screen fades to black.

[BigThor]

While ‘action-adventure’ is never a term one normally associates with Branagh movies, he also handles the earthbound scenes with style, with Thor’s hand-to-hand tussles with agency guards a real standout.

Hehehe, it seems like the "earth bound" scenes and the Shield Agents battle won't be that bad after all :up:.

[kedrell]

Should be a nice way to showcase Thor's skill as a warrior(which is supposed to be legendary) w/o the need for superpowered stuff getting in the way of recognizing real skill.

[BigThor]

^ Agreed, but we both know how users on this forum got all "up in arms" over the clip that showed him fighting the large agent.

So I'm pretty glad to here good things about the shield agent battle.

Can't wait to see this movie. I'm trying to pick a movie to watch tonight, but nothing looks appealing when I have Thor as well as a number of other films not yet released on my mind.

[BigThor]

^ I feel the same way

[Vartha]

lol I'm the same way Figs. lol
The only thing I feel like watching is the news just to catch up on what's going on and That 70's show. lol

[Figs]

I just hope I don't get burned on any of the four comic films coming out this summer. They all look pretty damn good, but you never know. So far I'm impressed with the reviews with Thor, but that RT% could change drastically once the big critics come out. Either way I'm there opening weekend. My gf and I are going to take my parents, they've like the past three Marvel made films.

[meltdown28]

I think if your going to get burned on one, itll probably be Green Lantern. Dont know why, I just do.

[Vartha]

Yeah I'm sure Thor won't be the film to be burned on if Rotten tomatoes liked it. lol

[Figs]

I think if your going to get burned on one, itll probably be Green Lantern. Dont know why, I just do.

I wasn't too excited from that first trailer, but the four minutes they released afterward definitely got me more excited. I really don't know which of the four I'm the least excited for right now. To be honest it might be Captain America.

[Vartha]

Harry loved it.
What did Harry say about it JP?

[Vartha]

Wow just peaked at what Harry had to say.....I'm surprised really.....I had know idea he liked Thor. lol

[BigThor]

I'm gonna predict a 83% for when it's all said and done

Well I think it's gonna be around a 90%, give or take a few points.

[herolee10]

I'm currently at a dilemma. I'm wondering if it would be better for them to release another clip or two that features some of the action from Thor's fight against the Frost giants, before the film comes out, or if it would be best to just wait entirely until it's released worldwide?

[kedrell]

I think high 80's to low 90's is in store at this point. Good range to be in.

[kedrell]

Well, odds are at least one of them will. Not saying it's for sure but it's likely based on history with these kind of films.

[kedrell]

I wasn't too excited from that first trailer, but the four minutes they released afterward definitely got me more excited. I really don't know which of the four I'm the least excited for right now. To be honest it might be Captain America.

Even GL's 2nd one didn't get me all that much more excited. It's better than the first(which was pretty blah) but after two trailers I still have no inkling about Hal Jordan's character....other than the fact that he's irreverant and humorous and is a fully functioning hetero-sexual man. THAT is a big hurdle to overcome. Audiences come for the spectacle sure but they don't fall in love with spectacle. They fall in love with great characters. Looks like Branagh, Hemsworth & Co. have likely delivered on this crucial aspect of Thor the same way Favs & RDJ did for Stark(if Thor's early reviews are anything to go by). After Cap's trailer, I was pretty confident that Johnston & Evans will do likewise for Cap. But I'm still waiting to be convinced Campbell & Reynolds did so on GL. I hope so, but evidence is lacking at this stage.

[Doctor Jones]

Worst case scenario: I think Thor on RT will be in the low 70's. I can see this being better than IM2 definitely. If it offers something that's fresh and done well, critics will like it.

At most, I see it being in the mid 80's.

[Doctor Jones]

So guys, about the after credits sequence, just tell me yes or no:

Does it have to do with The Avengers?

[The Morningstar]

Yes.

[protocida]

Yes.

[The Morningstar]

Well, kinda, sorta in a roundabout way.

[Raiden]

I wasn't too excited from that first trailer, but the four minutes they released afterward definitely got me more excited. I really don't know which of the four I'm the least excited for right now. To be honest it might be Captain America.

Really? I found Capt. America's trailer to be more impressive than the 4-minute GL footage released during WonderCon.

[Figs]

Really? I found Capt. America's trailer to be more impressive than the 4-minute GL footage released during WonderCon.

I really liked the Captain America trailer as well, it's just hard to figure out which one's I'm more excited for as of right now. I'll see if Cap's second trailer gets me more excited.

[S.A.A.D.]

I'm still not too optomistic about Captain America: The First Avenger. Evan's facial expression bugs me when he looks awful from far away, that part of him shooting in the Superbowl tv spot, and those shots of that terrible looking stuntman for Chris Evans doesn't help either.

[Wolvieboy17]

Come on, it's obvious that Evan's stuntman is going to be seen in the movie. If he wasn't, then I wouldn't be worried about him. Is it hard to understand that I want to enjoy the movie without any 'negative' distractions?

[The Morningstar]

He won't be seen in a static shot where you can clearly see it's a stunt man in an ill fitting suit though.

[The_Mighty_Thor]

Saw my first Thor TV spot on actual TV. Was a commercial for Acura the official vehicle of Thor. Still haven't seen an actual Thor advert though:csad:. Of coursr I don't watch that much TV. Mostly Sox and Celts. I guess they don't think American sports fans will be interested in the hammer toss!

You know, i'm still really shocked that the critics are digging this so much. Don't get me wrong i never doubted this film would be awesome, but i always had this nagging feeling that critics would rag on it.

Yea it's too early to tell whether it is unanimously loved. But seeing as pretty much all the critics have been praising the same things, I don't really see it dropping that much over time either.

Isn't today the day RealIronMan sees Thor or is that tomorrow?

Also...RT has Thor at 94% with 16 positive and 1 negative... :thor:

[Hurm...]

I'm really impressed by the reaction. I knew it would be a good film, since I read the screenplay, but not a single soul yet has REALLY disliked it.

Way to go, Branagh.
