Booooooooooo.
What is it that you hate about it? I'm just curious, because I'm all hearts-for-eyes about it. And I know this isn't reddit, so you aren't about to Goatse me for liking it.
Oh, no, oh, no! Spontaneous poetic exclamations. Lord, spare me college boys in love.

I loved Thor. I went to it to see what Kenneth Branagh would do with a superhero movie, and I was quite pleased. The bit with Thor trying to get to his hammer and discovering he couldn't lift it was much fun.
And, of course, the Warriors Three.

Pacing and dialogue. The thing was all over the map. I keep meaning to watch it again to see if I still don't like it.
Let's put it this way: I randomly complained about it for at least a month after we watched it. I'd just pop up with, "AND ANOTHER THING."
I love gifsets of it?

And the thing is, I really WANTED to like it. I was totes excite.
I just really disliked it. Which is sad, because I liked the hot mess that was Iron Man 2.
I've yet to figure out what makes some movies click, and some not. I mean, I have an unholy fucking affection for some films that are probably not very good. Do you have any idea how many times I have seen Push? Many. Many times. In whole and in part. (It was a movie I went into with the expectation of, "this is $7, and I know from the gifsets it will be pretty, and I can always just put it in on mute while I sort my socks" and now I have it in multiple formats.)
That said, Paul also disliked it, as did my sister and brother-in-law, both of whom were huge fans of Thor from the comics.

Maybe the comics were the problem? The Thor run by Walter Simonson was just so good, that the film had a really high bar to clear? Also, the Lord of the Rings also set such a high bar for fantasy films in general?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah but Push is great and totally underrated!
I really enjoyed Thor, which I didn't have much interest in beyond "Another MCU movie, plus Natalie Portman."

Maybe for sis and BiL, but for me, it really was pacing and dialogue.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I floved Thor when I saw it originally, but I knew it was at least 75% being in a movie theater on a movie theater on a 100 degree day plus The Hems. Plus being an enjoyable, sunny movie after The Dark Knight had already (in my memory) started things trending darker. So I watched it again recently, and thought it was fine, but not as great as my memory.
