Comic Con Trailer Description

Liam Neeson was the only thing that was commanding in those trailers. No other actor made a dent... clearly Hopkins was just as good as Neeson in that trailer. But I do have problems with the trailer. Seems very hit and miss. They are gonna nail certain aspects, and they are going to come up well short in others. I had some lukewarm feelings after watching it many times over.

I am not saying that Clash of the Titans was good... but Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes looked perfect as Greek gods. Can't say the same for Hopkins and Hemsworth. Hiddleston looks great as Loki though... I'll give them that.
 
well to be fair neither Neeson or Fiennes looked like the traditional looks of Zeus and Hades
 
wow...the thor trailer looks really bad.

i'm sorry, but i was so disappointed. hemsworth did anything but impress me, but i'll see what he can do in the real movie. the production values look low, but maybe it's because it's early footage?

i don't know, i was just totally underwhelmed.

Maybe not, but the mythological aura was maintained whereas Odin and Thor just seem to look like humans wearing costumes. I get zero "godliness" factor from them.
 
Where's the mythology? It looks much more futuristic than mythological. :down

Dude,in general the mythology doesn't limit it's self to certain things,therefore it isn't fair to criticize the mythology that is in the Thor movie. The movie is following previously established Thor lore. Since the lack of mythology is your problem,you should take your problem up with the source material actually,and not the movie. I understand your complaint,but I don't think that it's completely valid.

The movie is over 10 months away, of course it's unfinished.
 
did Zeus armor glow on set or was that CGI???

The costumes look cheap but besides that I don't know what you are getting at. If anything the rest of the cast is overshadowed by Hopkins that they are sort of acted off the sets. Other than that the looks are spot on. If you were expecting the rugged more ancient look, you aren't alone. But they made it clear it was going to be more science/space themed a while back.
 
I was expecting a more classical look since Branaugh was directing... but I guess he's trying a completely different direction... a more Marvel direction. I just don't think it looks anything special.
 
The gods from Clash of the Titans looked much more impressive/commanding than what I've seen of the Thor trailer.

Thor looks... underwhelming. It's setting up too much for The Avengers. Why can't it be a standalone movie without the crutches of being a prequel to The Avengers? That's just predictable.

How is it setting up too much for Avengers? Thor is an Avenger and him coming to earth is apart of his storyline. People had the same complaints about "too much Avengers/SHIELD" in Iron Man 2. Yeah, that one scene at the end and the other one after the credits really was too much. :doh: This is becoming a really tired and annoying take by people on here. Almost as bad and as played out as people b---ing about Heimdall being black, recasting Ed "Jesus" Norton, or why they parted ways with Terrence Howard.

And what is so bad about setting up for the Avengers anyway? I think it's great what Marvel is doing by making it's universe unlimited. It's honestly hard to go back to other heroes like Batman, Superman, Spiderman, and the X-Men with their closed off, isolated worlds after this. Anybody who claims to be a comic book fan or who likes superheroes should be loving the ambitious plan Marvel has for it's film universe.

It's there and you just don't see,the rest of their godly factor comes from their special abilities,but you don't realize that either imo. I'll just leave it at that,which is letting you think whatever you want to think about the movie.

How indeed,it's not like the entire movie is AVENGERS related for crying out loud. We basically don't even know what will happen in the Avengers movie at this juncture.

Iron Man was an excellent standalone movie except for after the credits... which was enough of a setup for The Avengers IMO. It seems like the whole Avengers setup is just overdone... and that's just from a trailer. What moreso in the actual movie? Just too much.

If a movie is not good enough to stand on it's own two legs... then it's not a good movie IMO. I probably won't be watching Thor in theaters.
 
I thought the trailer was great. I was never a huge thor fan, but this trailer cemented my fandom. I am truly excited for this film.

Thats said people need to calm down with the whole "too much avengers" setup thing. Marvel is doing something truly unique in cinematic history here with their shared movie universe, and people need to just enjoy it. Each movie is its own standalone thing while setting up for the next one to get people hyped. I mean, next year we're getting Thor in May and then the story continues in Captain America in July...how is that not awesome?
 
so you have judged from a 5 min sizzle reel that this movie isnt going to be good????
 
How about this, people need to calm down with the whole telling people to calm down thing. Let me have my opinion, I'm not trying to downplay anybody else's.

i know what you mean about the gods in clash. the best part of that movie were the gods they looked cool. you have to remember the effects are not complete for the thor movie. after the touchups you might be surprised. we still havent seen mjolnirs power or thor flying or the magic so you might want to hold off till you get an official trailer.
 
Just saw the trailer and I have to say that Thor looks awesome! I'm a DC fan through and through, but Thor is definitely on my must see list for next year. I was very impressed.


Oh, and Clark Gregg is bad***

while I agree with you this isnt anything new in film. The universal movies did it in the 40's and Who framed roger rabbit had the largest collection of characters from other films in it

I've judged that this movie doesn't have the feel that I'd want from a Thor movie. Between that "5 min sizzle reel", all of the released interview and pictures... yes, I've determined that I'm underwhelmed.

well I respect that
 
I just don't want Asgard relegated to one panning CGI shot of the entire kingdom and then be locked up in Odin's throne or the Frost Giants den. Knowing the budget limitations, the threat of this is a real possibility. I guess that's what I mean by cramped.
I see what you're saying. Some outdoor shots of Asgard would definitely be nice. It'd all be CGI, though, and we know they've only got a couple months of post done with several more to go, so maybe they just didn't have a lot of that ready to show. Just remember, everything about the footage has to be viewed in the context of the movie still having a long way to go to completion.

I like how they show the cosmos I hope they get the 9 realms down and shown
That piece of paper that Thor someone is holding at one point looks like it could be a map of the nine realms. Maybe it's a diagram Foster or Skarsgard's character came up with from their research...

I really didn't see much Avengers setup at all. What are you talking about specifically?
 
its a mix of futuristic and mythogical and we havent seen everything yet either.
