THOR-THE MOVIE-2011
- Thread starter L.D.S.

Hogun is not supposed to be one of the Aesir but instead, comes from an unknown land, so him being Asian looking make sense. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the creators of Thor, originally based him on Charles Bronson, who himself, looks like he could have be slightly Asian.
Heimdall is white in the comics, and normally I would disagree with changing the ethnicity of characters. I wouldn't want to see a blonde, blue eyed King Tut, or an Indian Spider-man.
But this is mythology/fantasy so their is some room to change things, plus it's filtered through a superhero comic book approach, so, IMO, it's even more acceptable to change things. Plus the movie Heimdall was a bad ass. He seemed like a giant, was intimidating, and believable as someone who could see and hear everything. I liked the exchange he had with Loki and it was too bad he got frozen before he could kick his ass.

I really didn't like his frankenstein. Maybe I have to rewatch it again though, but it's the DeNiro one right?
I thought Henry V was pretty good, and he is a great actor, even with small roles like in Swing Kids.
ABOUT the movie, it was one of the best movies I've seen recently, up there with Tron Legacy, Dark Knight, and Inception.
I really liked their interpretation of Norse mythology and it was a nice change from the typical Greek, Barbarian or Knight stuff.
All the actors played their parts well, Asgard and Jodenheim looked amazing.
I will agree, the warriors three looked kind of cheesy walking around in New Mexico. Reminded me of Masters of the Universe, but it wasn't a big deal.
The actor that played Loki did the tragic villain role justice and wasn't the typical bad guy.

Saw it Saturday. I thought it was pretty good. The frost giants reminded me of the genie in Wishmaster.

*** POSSIBLE SPOILER***
I just saw it last night and i thought it was good, i liked the plot development, the NM battle scene was kinda cheesy, the look on Portmans face when Thor gets his swag back reminded me of her scene with kunis in black swan, Loki was dope,the little comic bits here and there where entertaining, the graphics looked really good, and i think SHEILD tied in well making just enough connections to Stark, and what may come in the future, the movie was bueno

I unfortunately saw this in 3D because there was no other option available. I think I would have been able to enjoy the movie much more in 2D. I have never liked Thor as a comic book hero so the movie had to work real hard on me. For me it was more a vehicle for The Avengers movie and became more interested in picking up hints about other characters and what SHIELD was doing than Thor. Was disappointed in the teaser at the end. 2.75 out of 5
If I were Thor I'd have gone for Kat Dennings
I don't care if that picture is fake
