Comic Con Trailer Description

[S.A.A.D.]

Around 100% wrong.

Dear poster,

Don't bother me about the tv show.

Sincerely,

Me

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Pretty sure you're 100% wrong.

 

[Poeman]

Lets just hope the film actually doesn't come off as a cheese-fest. Marvel has had alot of hits or misses when it comes to quality comic films.

Even though they have made some amazing comic movies too... i.e. First to Spidey films and Iron Man series. They are known to also put out garbage.

 

[Nokio]

I'm not sure what to make of the footage. IT WAS HIT AND MISS FOR ME. Some things looked good while others just didn't feel right or made me go meh. My biggest problem is and I think my fear is gonna be proven right, but I just do not get the feeling what so ever that Thor can go toe to toe with Superman. He's supposed to be able to or even best Supes, but I just do not get the feeling based on this footage I've seen that Thor is extremely powerful.

Just wait till you see what mjolnir does they didn't add it's effects. You see Loki point odins spear at someone they didn't add the effect for it either. You see Thor raise mjolnir but they will add in the lightning in post. You must realize the trailer was just to show fans what the characters looked like and the locations. The effects will really sell it. Wait till you see Thor fly or magic or Thor spining mjolnir or calling down a lightning bolt.

I understand this complaint that a number of people are having but a lot of that footage was of him on Earth stripped of his powers and a lot of the footage in Asgard wasn't all action.

Hopefully there will be some epic examples of Thor dishing out some pain.

 

[Stripesy Strip]

I knew it was going to be stylized, but not this much.

I think people wanted LORD OF THE RINGS, and they got FLASH GORDON. I like some of the Kirbyeque look...not digging Thor's bright cape with that outfit.

It's apparent what they're doing with the visuals...bright and garish in Asgard, and then dark and more realistic on Earth, I just don't know how I feel about it.

What you're seeing, though, I think, on the characters, and in Asgartd, is "gilt". These gods are flawed, and not as powerful and bright as they seem. Hopkins Odin is fantastic so far. Just the right energy for that role.

Thor's scream of rage annoys me. Chris Hemsworth hasn't sold me with his acting yet in the least. He was actually pretty boring in the footage.

As far as SHIELD goes, I don't think Marvel can afford not to being SHIELD in for a larger role at this point. I think Coulson's use makes perfect sense. Who else would he interact with? Cops?

Marvel Studios do not have the balls to do a LOTR-like take with Thor. They want to do something that's cheap yet makes money. And something that's not too creative since the failiure of The Hulk scared the living Hell out of them. If you look at the movies they've made so far whether it's the X-Men movies, the Spider-Man movies the Iron Man movies, it's been well-made action flicks that's a good mix of humour and super-hero elements but it's not gone beyond that. And that's the way they like it. You'll never see them do a Batman Begins-type or Dark Knight.

As for Clouston, i'm just not sold on this actor. He's rather bland. In the comics, SHIELD agents are like the most badass of badasses. The Wild Bunch with James Bond gadgets. They do not play around. I would have had someone really grill Thor. Whether it's a Texas Cheriff or say...Avengers pain in the neck Henry Peter Gyrich(a shield agent?). And I would have had David Caruso play him.

Exactly. The fighting footage was not that great. I mean, it was a great trailer, but not a lot of action. Hopefully they are just saving it all for the movie.

The X-men movies were made by Fox & the Spiderman movies are made by Sony. Marvel Studios has nothing to do with either of those franchises. And I'm not sure Marvel has the money right now to do a LotR type movie.

No difference. It's same model of the fun adventure style.

They're with Disney!

and Disney lets their minor studios keep to themselves...which is a good thing because is Disney starts bankroll these films then thats going to be someone else with an opinion on these films....They are letting Marvel do there thing just like they let Pixar do their thing.

and for people that wanted a LOTR type movie...did you forget that the character was coming to the modern world??? Sam and Frodo didnt walk down Mainstreet on their way to Mount Doom

 

[Oscorp]

Saw the trailer and I must say that I really like it! I don't get all the complaints really, I think it looked very cool.

 

[scifiwolf]

I'm not a comic book reader. Although I'm fairly informed about the major names, I didn't really know anything about Thor until doing some research about a month or so ago. I'm coming into this film with a more of a mainstream movie-goer's perspective. That being said, the trailer looked badass. Very, very badass. The action, though only teased, looks like it could be totally sick. There also seems to be that very necessary element of character and story that we were hoping Kenneth Branagh would be able to bring to the movie. I'm also liking that it has a unique feel, but still very much part of the universe being set up. Everything just looks very, very good and promising.

Have to disagree on a lot of this: How is that hybrid mix of Kirby's futuristic designs with Norse mythology not creative? If anything going all LOTR with Thor would be a mistake. That would be called unoriginal and derivative (and it would be too). Remember Marvel's Thor is based on the myth, but it is not the myth, that's part of what makes it so special. This point seems to be forgotten at times.

And comparing with Batman is not really apt at all. The character for starters is completely human. No powers, just skill, smarts, and gadgets to get by. And Nolan's Batman exists within his own little universe too, where the style and tone has been tailor made solely to suit Nolan's vision, and as great as that may be, could you imagine Brandon Routh's Superman (or any Superman) fitting in well at all with Nolan's Batman?

For me DC have not yet imagined a 'movieverse' where their biggest guns can combine well at all. Marvel have been aiming for just this since Iron-Man. If they pull it off well in Avengers, then (as a comics fan first) that will be the best Superhero movie ever made (imo).
This movie still has the potential to take that title, though lacking the recognition of Batman I cant see it coming close at all to the Box office TDK received. Only time will tell on that one, but TDK has set a B/O target an critical acclaim standard that will be damned hard for anyone to beat.

Agree with this for the most part. Coulson seems more like a bureaucrat/civil servant than a hard nosed special ops agent. Gyrich though has always seemed the same to me in the books (good call on the casting there though) . Having a 'proper' agent like Dum-Dum or Quartermain interrogate Thor would seem the better choice.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Well, I finally managed to find the footage, and my feelings are a bit mixed, it seems a bit cheesy, but to me Thor has always been a cheesy character so this may just be fitting with the character, at the same time the acting looks of a good standard, done really see the complaints made about Hemsworth, and some of the action looks good, and this is all with unfinished effects also.

As I have been from the start, I have mixed feelings about this movie.

and they cant use Gyrich since he was in the X-men movies or just X-men

Ha ha, I take it you have been a Thor fan for a long time?

Well I hope the movie is good for the likes of yourselves t:.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Or, y'know, since Thor fighting as a god actually involves a lot of special effects, they might just not have had them done yet. People don't seem to be keeping it in mind that these are unfinished effects after just a couple months of post.

 

[roach]

the finished footage will be on the IM2 blue ray

 

[Vartha]

Ha ha, I take it you have been a Thor fan for a long time?

heh I'm 49.
I went to the Kubert School WITH Adam and Andy Kubert in my CLASS, Jim Balent sat behind me, Eric Schanoer was in the room over, same year tho 2nd year.
I'm not ANCIENT but yeah I've been following Thor for YEARS!

 

[Vartha]

the finished footage will be on the im2 blue ray

and dvd?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I'm gonna have to pick that up now. I usually just Netflix whatever DVDs I want, but I'll buy that one.

Of course, I'm sure several of the constant naysayers are gonna see the finished footage and still complain, but you can't please everybody. The unfinished sizzle reel already looked damned fine to me, so I'm content to know that I'll probably be quite happy with the movie.
