[Movie] Thor

Interesting stuff about early reviews for the film and the post credit scene.....

Spoiler

"Thor" has screened for British and Australian press in the last few days, along with a few select American genre press. From that, word has leaked out about the post-credits scene in the film which sounds like it ties-in directly to "The Avengers". Here's a description via Movie Stinger:

"In the scene Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) travels to New Mexico to meet with Dr. Selvig (Stellan Skarsgard). He is there to discuss recent discoveries Selvig has made regarding alternate universes. He is also there to get Selvig's advice about a large metal case, which contains the Tesseract/Cosmic Cube. When Selvig asks what it is, Fury responds that it is a source of immense power. The camera than pans back to Selvig, and a reflection reveals that Selvig is now being possessed by Loki (Tom Hiddleston), who says: "That's very interesting"."

Meanwhile reviews have started popping up online and there's a consistency among them. Critics have raved about Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston's performances and praised Kenneth Branagh's direction. Criticisms include some choppy editing especially around the Earth-bound scenes, and the weak romance between Thor and Natalie Portman's underwritten female lead. Reaction's aren't close to "Iron Man" or "The Dark Knight" enthusiastic, but the general consensus is Marvel seems to have done well - something akin to "The Incredible Hulk" quality. I see the film for myself this Friday and will review it then.

Full reviews can be found at Hitfix, The Vine, Den of Geek, Variety, IGN, The Hollywood Reporter and Empire.

if it's on par with incredible hulk i would be more than fine with that.

 

I just saw it and I was pleasantly surprised. The trailers don't do the movie justice. The Asgard scenes were visually stunning. I thought it would be chessy but it was well made.

 

Wow! What a movie this one was! I will eat 4000000 crows for thinking this movie would suck. One word......Loki!

 

Thor looks like Netflix fodder.

 

Where did you guys see it at?

 

93% on RottenTomatoes off 57 reviews. I'm surprised.

 

I think it just looked so cheesy...

 

i'm happy with the reviews. I was worried about it as well because let's be honest, it did looks iffy from early trailers.

 

Can't argue with that.

 

Both Fantastic Fours, Ghost Rider, Wolverine: Origins, Punisher 2, Elecktra

 

Daredevil
The Punisher
Blade(all 3)
The Incredible Hulk
Spider-Man 3
X-Men: The Last Stand
Howard the Duck

 

Thought the first Blade was pretty good for its time

 

Movie was awesome. Don't judge it until you see it.

 

Only 1 of those movies came from Marvel Studios.

 

...you serious?

 

Oh had to look that up. Guess those other movies were co-productions while Thor/Iron Man/Hulk and any future productions are independent.

 

how did you guys see it already?!

 

Movie already been release for some country oversea.
