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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
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.

True fact, Steph.
Oh! You know who I felt bad for? Meow-meow, when it kept getting faked out by Thor falling through those holes in space. "OK, I'm coming!....wait, you're over there now? Coming!! WHAT? Where?"
