Thor: Trailer

[rage]

wow ok calm down already, Sony was exposed for this shit 10 years back what i'm telling you is common knowledge and just because i don't have proof doesn't mean it doesn't go on nowadays that's a lame defense.

here's from the Newsweek article that exposed Sony leading to them having to pay out millions of dollars for false advertising:

What is this exactly?? Is this supposed to prove something?? Sony completely made up a reviewer, not only that but the reviewers they do buy off are no names...it even says that in the quote you put up. Thats why it works because nobody pays attention to the no name critics.

Not only that but the aggregated opinion of the reviews is that its shaping up to be a good movie...not great. How the fuck can anybody argue with that? Especially since THEY HAVENT EVEN SEEN IT?

If you cant prove something it doesnt exist. Its only in this ridiculous internet message board world of stupidity does this "innuendo" and "common knowledge" bullshit work.

not the exact example of the situation with Sony but more that there are shady goin ons like this (you had to have actually read the whole thing)

Reading the glowing newspaper-ad recommendations for even the lamest movie, you might wonder if those quoted critics are real. Unlike Manning, they are. Many are habitués of the junket circuit, an all-expenses-paid gravy train where the studios give journalists free rooms and meals at posh hotels and the reporters return the favor with puffy celebrity profiles and enthusiastic review blurbs. Sometimes studio executives will suggest what kind of quotes they need, and even shape the reviews to suit the studio’s goals. If a studio wants its movie pegged as “This year’s ‘Alien’,” the reviewer delivers precisely that. No one complains, and bad movies end up with great quotes.

so... what you're telling me is you don't believe it ever happens that a studio pays bribes or gives cushy incentives for critics to give positive reviews or for competitor studios to do the same for negative reviews. you don't think that ever happens? the film industry is perfectly honest nothing shady like that would ever happen is that your belief?

just peeped it,it was pretty decent and a lot better than i'd thought it be but there are better marvel adaptations out there.

the best scenes took place on Asgard,they did a good job of not making that side of the story seem silly,it is a little bit camp at times but it works because it isnt completely outlandish.some of the cgi at times was really nice and they captured the whole mythical norse land vibe perfectly,the scenes on earth however didn't serve much purpose at all and just dragged the film down the story moved much quicker on Asgard.I know Thor is banished to earth to learn humility,but the whole film takes place over like 3 days so it's kinda hard to accept (for me at least) that he's able to change his ways so quickly.in the comics wasn't he on earth for a good number of years?aside from that it just gave the audience something to laugh at,and whilst there are a couple of funny lines it would have been a better film if they concentrated more on the space opera

Chris Helmsworth did a very good job,out of the rest of the cast Idris Elba stood out but thats about it.the action scenes were decent but nothing special,and i would also say it isnt really worth watching it 3d,from where i was sitting it added absolutely nothing to the film.

overall a good film for a friday night but it won't be mentioned as one of the elite comic book films

Iron Man 2 was some garbage. Just dropped to say that.

No way Thor can be any worse than that movie.

Slept on review, basically becomes D/L territory for me now If I even watch it at all

nice movie i liked it but was never really into thor comics

dope cgi first fight was great and like the others mentioned the scenes in asgard were nicer than the ones on earth

best characters: thor, his pops, the gatekeeper and loki

acting was pretty good, writing was....servicable......

first half was super and 2nd not so......felt a lil rushed.

Toward the middle really felt this would have made a great TV show tho.

The action...off the hook.....effects...off the chain

3 stars solid for what it is

Recommmended.

 

[VulcanRaven]

Better than I thought it would be.Second half did seem rushed.Would have liked a bigger battle at the end though including the ice giants.

 

[dat_bk_nicca]

saw this earlier, movie was ok wasnt bad, just wished it would've been more action even tho thats expected with an origin story, story was great tho, but i didnt quite understand the post credits scene to much

*SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!*

Loki is gonna possess The Hulk/Banner

Interesting,I thought the Hulk could not be possessed or mind controlled? Charles Xavier could not get into his mind.

Good thing Loki's a God and not a telepath. ahha.

See how he took over the body of that professor? He's gonna do that to Banner I think.

 

[Lorenzo de Medici]

In the marvel animated movie called "Hulk vs Thor" didn't he took over his body but couldn't control him the madder he got.

I didn't see that.

That's wat I was thinking but I wasn't to sure

 

[a.mann]

one thing about this tho, although I enjoy it some and see the need for it , I felt they made Loki just TO TO sympathetic in this movie.

he wasn't mischievous, or "evil" pe se, just...somber....misunderstood.

Loki's a complex character when written correctlt (see Walter Simonson take on Loki when he was writer of Thor comics)

That's who they should have consulted about Loki' chactarer and nature.

He's a cunning, asshole and with a dark sense of humor.and dry wit. Not cry baby emo with daddy issues.

I agree with post 100%...
I had more expectations for Loki in this movie than I did Thor...
Thor is not better than Iron Man 1 like I have seen in some reviews and other people's opinions...

You are correct
