Even the little inside jokes were on target. I am totally looking forward to Captain America now. Not too sure I will give a rat's behind about "X-Men: First Class" though.Kenny P.http://piercingmetal.com/wordpressnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415178.post-35818874910514014732011-05-10T13:10:26.093-04:002011-05-10T13:10:26.093-04:00Sorry, Larz, but I genuinely enjoyed the film and ...Sorry, Larz, but I genuinely enjoyed the film and "geek glasses" had nothing to do with it. I love Batman — as you no doubt recall — but I hate every one of his live-action films (although I did enjoy Heath Ledger's Joker). We'll just have to disagree on this one.Bunche (pop culture ronin)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11831085937894725459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415178.post-48296173610830982782011-05-10T00:34:54.211-04:002011-05-10T00:34:54.211-04:00Wow, I am surprised you liked the film. I thought...Wow, I am surprised you liked the film. I thought it was terrible. <br /><br />Despite a budget of 150 million, it looked like a Dr. Who set in asgard and a fake western outpost when on earth. In fact the whole plot (or lack of it) reminded me of cheap sci fi unworthy of the god of thunder.<br /><br />It was also poorly casted. Possibly the worst performance by Anthony Hopkins ever. He seemed half dead which was fitting because his character was asleep most of the film.<br /><br />whoever the actor is who plays thor seems more suited for a soap opera. He had the wrong temperament for the classic marvel thor. Just seemed to be a british GQ type of guy. So un-Thor-like was he that I could kick his ass.<br /><br />Methinks you were wearing super geek glasses when you watched this.<br /><br />A very unconvincing Loki. The character was barely developed. It is very hard to buy in to him as villain worthy of climactic ending fight scene (which is contrived and unbalanced since Loki is not a fighter character)<br /><br />volstagg the voluminous was not fat enough<br /><br />ridiculous frost giants, looked more like blue meanies<br /><br />atrocious mechanized villain.<br /><br />sad when the best thing about a film is natalie portman<br /><br />should have been direct to DVD.Larznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415178.post-18565002043753365062011-05-09T19:26:06.523-04:002011-05-09T19:26:06.523-04:00Coupla things.

Elba was, in a word, "awesome." I also like the fact that while it was made clear that Thor was banished to Midgard to repair his character flaws and become "worthy," we were spared a monologue explaining exactly how he was unworthy. Clearly he needed to learn humility and patience and self-sacrifice, but that fact is borne out by the story and left to the audience to interpret rather than being spoon-fed. This regard for the intuitive abilities of the audience is displayed throughout the script and is one of the things I liked best about the movie. I was played to, not played DOWN to.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02150100108697090228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415178.post-48977284758378716992011-05-09T13:19:27.919-04:002011-05-09T13:19:27.919-04:00Thanks for confirming my inclination to see it in ...Thanks for confirming my inclination to see it in 2D.<br />I cinsider 3D a gimmick to pry even more money out of us than the lready exorbitant prices AMC charges in my area.<br /><br />And they wonder why attendance is down?Da_Bearonnoreply@blogger.com
