Has anyone seen this yet? We just saw it tonight and we absolutely loved every minute of it.

I won't post any details yet, so I don't spoil it for anyone. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. Thoroughly enjoyable movie! Can't wait for the sequel.

Default Hammer Time!!

Great movie! Humor and action in a fantasy type element, along with good chemistry between the actors. It is a fun, entertaining film to unhook your brain and enjoy to the max. The scenes with the mighty Thor as a fish out of water on Earth is a hoot.

Back from the movie and we all enjoyed it. We saw it in 2D. I was told that 3D had some blurry scenes. I felt the acting and visual effects were fantastic. Chris Hemsworth looks and sounds just right, and he eats up the screen. The guy who plays Loki was terrific. All of the actors felt right.

I'm seen some reviews and have read to sit through the credits. Could someone verify this and if so, either use the spoiler option or PM me what I missed?

I like how they sent Thor to Earth fully realizing his weaknesses and the part his arrogance and rashness played in causing the war. I do think Thor and Jane's storyline seemed forced. It would have been better for him to say goodbye w/ just the kiss on the hand, making that kiss more desired.

Thor was awesome...stick around to the very very end, as usual they have a short teaser for a follow up movie.

I didn't love it, but it was okay. I don't like Natalie Portman though. If the follow up declines I don't know if I am looking forward to seeing it. I am neutral about seeing this movie- if there is nothing else out u have seen and u don't have any expectations then this is not a bad movie.......

Liked it a lot. Didn't love it. It wasn't IRON MAN good, but it was far better than any of the Spidey flicks.

Loki stole every scene he was in.

I liked it lot. My wife LOVED it (her words). I like the way the "magic" was "technology". Also very much liked the "fish out of water" aspect of Thor at the beginning. All the actors (especially the lead) did GREAT jobs. Looking forword to "Avengers".

On a side note I've got to say a great big "THANK YOU" to Stan the Man for what he's done to the comic book world over the decades. VERY MUCH enjoyed his creations when I was kid (a LONGGGGGG time ago) and enjoying them equally all over again now.

Stan - you are VERY MUCH appreciated for a LIFETIME of GREAT WORK.

Ken

Loved it. I'm only recently getting into the Thor corner of the Marvel Universe, but I'm already a big fan of Beta Ray Bill, Thunderstrike, and the Warriors Three. A bit sad to see the Lion of Asgard looking as though he'd gone on a diet, but there was some hint in their last miniseries that he might lose some weight now. It was great to see three of the more human gods getting a lot of screen time though. I thought it was great that Stan was creditted as Stan the Man.

Hope I did the spoiler thing right




After the credits we see the male scientist walking through someplace deep underground. He meets Nick Fury who opens a briefcase containing a Cosmic Cube. The scientist asks what it is. Fury responds with something like, "Unlimited Power." Then we see Loki standing beside the scientist obviously invisible to all around, and he says, "This bears looking into," which the scientist repeats to Fury.

Sharp eared viewers and viewers with poor eyesight and average guessing ability will have also noticed Hawkeye was in this movie (on screen even instead of simply mentioned as was often the case with characters in the Spiderman and X-Men movies) which seems like evidence that he might make the Avengers movie.

Immediately before the scene at the end the credits also state that Thor will return in the Avengers movie.
