BTW, people complain about the smallest stuff. “OMG, he called Earth Earth instead of Midgard.” and “BOOOOO! He’s not wearing his helmet in the trailer.” Grow up already. The movie isn’t even out yet.

Arrrgh….where’s his helmet? He’s fighting without his helmet on.

I like the look of this much better than Green Lantern. I’ll of course see them both, but GL just has a feeling of cheese to it.

Okay. Those who commented on my remark: You are aware that The Aesir (Thor, et al), are part of the Norse pantheon of gods. Portrayed in literature,and comics as Caucasians.

I don’t have a problem with a multi-etnic cast. Simple as that.

wait to c it then judge.it’s insane how a short clip can make u judge this and GL so harshly.but it’s life i guess.so,let’s as comic fans just enjoy the whole bandwagon of comic-based movies,i wanna c em all!!!!!!!!!!

i love marvel,haven’t been exposed to much DC,but they are cool too.always loved the hal jordan costume.so,we got thor,cap,GL next year.it’s gonna be fun.it should be hollywood being taken over by the comic book geeks and we all win.not a marvel vs. dc thing.that’s just sad.

I have to admit, while the trailer was very good, the overall feel doesn’t make me want to race out to the theaters the way the GL trailer does.

It wasn’t bad. The reason for Thor on earth needs work as to make him spoiled etc, is pushing it. Not original in the sense that at some point he’s all forgiven and gets his powers back just in time to beat the bad guy. Loki was wearing his helmet, good, and I saw Thor with his on which not having it is like Cap without wings on his mask. We’ll see. Oh and I agree Hal Jordon cracking jokes is not a good sign. It needs to be great. Also when you count up all the weak marvel movies against the same for DC, Marvels not looking good just because they made more. Can we have a really “good” Ironman instead of another joke.

I agree that Thor should indeed be a “larger” guy, but the scenes of Asguard look passable.

the problem with Marvel is they make the Trailer look good but the movie end up looking worse then the dark Knight

The earth stuff looks fine- it’s the melodrama of Asgard I’m worried about. “I take your power…and I cast you out!” Really? That’s the best dialog we could find for that scene? On the other hand, the scene where he wakes up and realizes where he is struck me as humorous and character-revealing at the same time. Looking forward to the rest of the film.

Man, I wish they’d stop shoe-horning characters like Iron Man and Thor into these Agent Coulson films. They hog too much screen time.

so sick of 3D. 3D is a novelty that most theater goers are tired of, why is it being shoved down our throat? I’m a big thor guy, but I’ll only be seeing this in 2D. Looks more promising than I thought it would. Not as good as it could be though, at least from the trailer.

Let’s just hope the story is decent so that we can have a rockin’ Thor trilogy!!!

“The film looks really good and appears an accurate adaptation. Thor tricked into killing Frost Giants by Loki, thus breaking a truce established by Odin. Odin banishes Thor to Earth as a consequence, which leaves the door open for Loki to take over after he either poisons Odin or Odin undergoes the “Odin Sleep.” Thor then has to redeem himself in order to regain his power and save Earth and Asgard! How could that not be a solid storyline?”

Exactly, That’s about as Silver-Age a plot line as you can get,I wonder will they give Jack a mention in the opening credits?
You know “based on concepts from Nordic Mythology by….”.

Race has nothing to do with Norse Mythology! It’s all about death and fighting for a living, that and a lot og shampoo!

Well they are Norse (i.e. Viking) gods. Heaven forbid them being tall, strong, and white.

Great effects, but no way to tell if the story will be any good. I have never been a fan of Thor, and they will have to work overtime to make me care.

That said…yeah, I am a DC fanboy and all, but as least trailer vs trailer clobbered the mess that was GL.

As usual the DC vs Marvel, Marvel vs DC comments are as pathetic as ever – it’s amazing to see how fanboys allow themselves to be manipulated in the whole “us vs them” mindset established by the big two who are much, much, more alike than different.

The Destroyer is spot on, as created by Jack (King) Kirby. I’m willing to overlook the multi-ethnic cast, as a necessary effect of a more modern retelling. I would have been more happy if upon awakening “Thor” had exclaimed, “Oh no, this is Midgard”.

Jury is still out on this one.
There were moments that far exceeded what I was expecting. And then the “oh no, this is Earth,” line made me cringe.

THIS MOVIE LOOKS AMAZING AND THE PEOPLE NOT LIKING IT IS CRAZY TO THINK IT DOESN’T LOOK GOOD.

By: Cool Whip

Cool Whip — Sat, 11 Dec 2010 18:32:14 +0000

Looks good. The casting looks pretty good and I’m interested in seeing where the story goes. They got a realistically muscular looking guy to play Thor who can actually probably act well enough to pull it off, which is way better than getting some lame WWE wrestler looking type or somebody who looks like the dude who kill Apollo Creed in the Rocky movie. Appreciate it, Marvel.

Looks like there’s simply a lot of hurt DC fanboys getting their panties in a bunch over this. Whatever; personally, all I’m mostly seeing is a distillation of the Comic-Con sneak peek, and that was pretty great to begin with. But the movie people already had me going as soon as they announced Natalie Portman was co-starring in it.

Holy crap in a hat! While there are a few snippets here and there that wasn’t in the sdcc footage, I was already sold after seeing that. But this? I’m triple sold.
