I'd have to say Thor is the best of the Marvel movies so far even in this form less 20 minutes of cut footage.

Boy you said it, Chewy.

I'd say all 4 of them are good.

Yep, I feel the same way.

But, anything's possible.

I thought the action was mediocre. And that's putting it very nicely. The fight scenes were choreographed and edited horrendously. And I just couldn't stand the exposition heavy dialogue. People go on about The Dark Knight being subtle and intelligent? It's not. It's about as subtle as a sledge hammer and it treats the audience like idiots. Highlighted by Gordon's monologue at the end of the film explaining the entire theme of the movie as though we're too stupid to understand what just transpired in the last 2 and a half hours. It was like he was breaking the fourth wall, talking directly to us. The same could be said for a lot of the dialogue really.

And I just didn't care about Bruce Wayne/Batman... at all. He was uninteresting and a bit of a douche, really. I liked Harvey Dent's story arc, and I enjoyed Joker's scenes. But yea, that's about it.

And no. Just no. But, this is a Marvel thread so....

Yes, oh yes. If you wish to counter any of these points take it to PM.

this.

[StarkTheProdigy]

I'm going to view Thor again, and let it sink in before I make this decision...
However, in my opinion, Thor's villain (Loki) is the best, and most developed out of the movies produced by Marvel Studios. That's one thing I felt was a true weakness in both Iron Man movies and The Incredible Hulk, the villains were just one dimensional if that's the term? Loki was complex, and truly felt villainous.

[DarthDaveBanner]

I say thee, yay.

[The Morningstar]

I wouldn't say Stane was one dimensional.

But I agree, Loki is far and away the best Marvel villain. In fact, i'd probably say he's my favourite comic book movie villain thus far.

Not even a close contest, IM and Thor are by far their best films, IM2 and TIH not even close to being on equal terms. Saying things like 'all four are good' comes across as fence sitting for the sake of it.

Is Thor the best Marvel most so far? No. I still think Iron Man is.

[jmc]

I'd agree with that, RDJ is what makes IM enjoyable for me, I immediately wanted to watch the film again after leaving the cinema. Thor I left satisfied but didn't feel the need to watch it again, plus it's got the weaker story of the two.

The thing about Thor is... it could be truly great if they'd just given us a bit more. I think when you see it, you'll know what I mean. The beginning is just too rushed.

Same way it felt to me. I felt like some things were missing from the first part of the movie. I'm curious to see a DC version later with the footage restored.

I give Thor a 8/10 for the moment. So...

1-Iron Man 9.5/10
2-Iron Man 2 8.5/10
3-Thor 8/10
4-TIH 7.5/10

Marvel makes really good movies, bottom line.

[BMM]

I didn't realize Thor had been edited down (15 minutes???). If so, I would definitely be interested to see how an extended cut affects the movie.

[Hush]

Thor, near perfect for me.

Yeah that could be the reason, or it could be that some people actually think all four are good films.

I think all four are good films. None of them are bad. The Incredible Hulk is mediocre. Iron Man 2 is entertaining but overstuffed.

Thor and Iron Man are great movies in my honest opinion.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I'l lbe honest, I've loved every Marvel Studios film so far, especially TIH and IM. However, after seeing Thor aat the midnight premiere, I was absoloutely blown away. I'd say it's on par with Iron Man but it also may be better, if you ask me. I'd rank it the best Marvel studios film or on par with Iron Man and right under the Spider-Man trilogy in terms of my favorite.

[BigThor]

^ Cool, I can't wait to see it tonight .

[Green Ghost]

Thor will get another chance on Blu-ray, but so far Hulk is my favorite Marvel Studio movie.

TIH
Thor
Iron Man/ Iron Man 2

[Hush]

I do not know why people hate on TIH so much, damn good film if you ask me. It managed to do what IM2 tried to do which was stuff the film full of Avengers goodies and managed not to seem like a big ****ing ad for the movie. Not to take away from IM2 which I enjoyed tremendously, Thor did what the original IM did which was established its self with the CMU presence being felt but only subtly it actually felt like a comic book come to life to me.

Iron Man 2
Iron Man/The Incredible Hulk
Thor

I have enjoyed all of Marvels movies so far....I just watched TIH again the other day on TV and really enjoyed it...
