Great Spagett avy.

Great Spagett avy.

Gotcha, spooked ya!

I actually don't watch that show, although that's something I've decided to fix after the discovery of Spagett.

I have seen a couple of episodes of 'Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule' however.

Zach Galifianakis is really funny as Tairy Greene too.

 

[El Payaso]

I would say it's because he's aware that he was not Asgard.

He smashed the glass, ask for a horse, etc. He was still behaving like he was in Asgard.

I mean, sure other directors would've played it up a little more but for once I like that there could be a character and a love interest that actually likes each other through the movie.

Every love interest like the hero and vice versa. But they usually have more to it than just that.

He met her first.

Heh, yeah. That's about it.

 

[Doctor Jones]

It's Natalie Portman. It's not hard to fall in love with her right away. That shot of her looking at Thor after he crashed on to Earth I was expecting Thor to say, "Angel."

Or maybe that was just me thinking it. Yup. It was!

Thor: "Are you an angel?"

Jane: "Not this **** again."

Also sand.

I've said it before I watched the movie, but I'll say it again now that I've seen it. I wish Thor had been all set in Asgard. Didn't care that much for the earth part. Expect for the scene when Loki visits Thor. I liked that he was wearing a suit and tie. (Also to be honest, I liked the final showdown between Thor and the Destroyer, like a Western on acidt
On a side note, Hiddleston would make a great Joker, specially in a period piece Batman movie, Conrad Veidt style.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

I definitely agree about Hiddleston gwynplaine. He would be perfect for something like that.

I hope Hiddleston's performance results in more starring roles for him. The same for Hemsworth.

Edit: Apparently Hiddleston's going to be in Spielberg's War horse

 

[Tron Bonne]

I enjoyed Thor a lot, and I think the one thing that really struck me was that we had a fight between the main hero and the main villain that did not either a) suck total ass (Iron Man, Iron Man 2), or b) was just incredibly lackluster compared to the build up around it (pretty much every other superhero film).

I agree.
They both were great.

Good point.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

That is true. The fight between Thor and Loki was pretty well done, and I look forward to round 2 in The Avengers.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

He smashed the glass, ask for a horse, etc. He was still behaving like he was in Asgard.

That's because he didn't know traditions of Earth let alone the US. Once Jane clarified that and pretty much insinuated that it wasn't normal behavior, he understood and complied.

I agree, the fights of the Iron Man movies were really anticlimactic, but I found Thor's battles to be just as boring, especially the Frost Giant fight in the first act. Though, to be fair, the 3D didn't help at all.

 

[Bunker]

The frost giant battle was a mess of ****. I had no idea what was going on.

 

[El Payaso]

That's because he didn't know traditions of Earth let alone the US. Once Jane clarified that and pretty much insinuated that it wasn't normal behavior, he understood and complied.

One day, he thinks that a thousand-year-old peace is worthy to be broken to start a war and Odin's word wasn't enough to stop him.

Next day (or a few hours later) he thinks traditions like smashing glasses are okay to be stopped because some random girl said so.

 

[Dark Victory]

The frost giant battle was a mess of ****. I had no idea what was going on.

I didn't have a problem with that, the structure and rhythm of it all was boring as hell. But I'll admit Thor flying was funny, all he needed was rainbow emission.

 

[Tron Bonne]

I liked all the fights, more or less. The last one between Loki and Thor may not have been my perfect dream fight or anything, but I'm glad they had an actual fight instead of there being some kind of twist to it like so many other superhero films do for their final confrontations.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Thor's action sequence in Johtenheim was all kinds of badass.

And if you did not think the Bifrost sequence was sick then you have no soul. Them launching across like a bullet rocked my ****ing world. And you cannot tell me Thor twirling Mjiolnir wasn't good. Then when he launched through that creature's mouth. I came buckets.

And agreed, leading up to the movie and afterwards, I do think Hiddelston would make a great Joker.

And the recent voice cast for Year One made me realize how much Brian Cranston would make a terrific Gordon in a live action film.

I liked Hulk vs Abomination in TIH . Thor vs Loki was probably the best though because of the emotional investment.

 

[gwynplaine]

Even though I enjoyed Thor, I think I still prefer Iron Man.
I hope the next Thor is a big epic set entirely in the realm of Asgard, Lord of the Rings style.
The Frost Giants make up looked a bit like the Djinn's.
I loved Thor twirling Mjolnir and how Loki couldn't move when the Hammer was laid on his chest (that was so cool, that's got to be from the comics.)
