Does IO9 have any speeds other than gush or deplore?
Mal: Zoe, why do I have a wife? Jayne: You got a wife? All I got is that dumbass stick sounds like its raining. How come you got a wife?

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What I've seen has mostly seemed like, "Good enough, if you're looking for this sort of thing."
Rottentomatoes.com gives it an 80%. Iron Man II had 74%.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sure, but at least one of the "positive" reviews is Ty Burr in the Globe, who gave it 2.5 stars, sure, but a review like this:
For a holding maneuver, “Thor’’ itself turns out to be diverting enough — not close to a sharp-edged romp like “Iron Man’’ but not the B-movie roadshow some of us were expecting. Call it a B+ movie.

But that's how rottentomatoes works. 80% is a good score for them, a good percentage of positive reviews, and they total 158 reviews evaluated (it's been out internationally for a while), so it's not like it hasn't been reviewed.
Not being Iron Man isn't a bad thing--I think that movie took everyone by surprise. Iron Man II was still considered a success, and this is getting better press.

I'm not saying anything against the movie! (About its quality or chances of being a financial success.) Just that I didn't think Burr's review was that positive.

But it was more positive than negative, and I'm just sticking by my point that most of the reviews so far have been that.

I am not arguing against your point.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
This conversation is about to become a Monty Python sketch, isn't it?

I think we're past that point by now.
And, Hayden, IO9 didn't gush or hate on Source Code, Limitless, or Paul, from a cursory glance. Although I think they were positive about all of them.
