Lots of "likes" much appreciated!

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
THOR!
So, the reason to see it in 3D is the Winter Soldier preview in front of it. The reason not to see it is everything else, because I still think 3D is ugh.
There could have been more Thor. Also, I think there is a thing now like the (whatever it is?) HBO boobs-in-20-minutes rule, because the Hems took his shirt off almost immediately. (But then was dressed for the rest of the movie.)
ANYWAY. I liked it, and will be happy to see it again next weekend. Two spoilery things: the Chris Evans cameo was excellent, and I knew the Loki death thing was a fake-out, because I was on tumblr last night, and it was not on fire.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I am not a Thor person so I thought the movie was just okay. I found very few of the intended humorous parts to be actually humorous.
I am not a HUGE Loki fan but I really dug Loki in this movie. A lot if the best parts of the movie were Loki related.
The movie could have been 20-30 minutes shorter and been better. The scenes after the credits made me really irritated for some reason - especially the first one.

I was the only person in my theater (I think) who laughed out loud at the woman on the train rubbing up on Thor.

That amused me.

Also I totally didn't realize that one guy was Zachary Levi.

AND. I did not know Eccleston was in the fucking movie.

Also, good thing I don't know the London tube, because the directions given were ALL WRONG, and you know that would have pulled me out of the movie.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I think the movie should have been named Thor: Shit Just Got Real in Asgard.
I was...entertained. It wasn't as straightforwardly fun as the first one, but I liked it. Glad I wasn't spoiled. Like Jesse, I figured Loki's death wasn't real, because the movie premiered 2 days ago and the internet hadn't blown up yet.
Thor is still the prettiest.
I am left wondering what happened to Odin. And Heimdall, though for different reasons -- because Heimdall said "I committed treason," to Odin before Loki came back with the fakeout. So did REAL Odin throw Heimdall in a comfy dungeon cell, before Loki came back and did...whatever he did to Odin in order to pull the fakeout on the throne?
Oh! TOTALLY glad I wasn't spoiled for the Chris Evans cameo. AWESOME.
In conclusion, not enough shirtless Hemsworth.
