  On Saturday May 7th, I took my oldest daughter to see Thor, after twisting balloons and a magic lecture. It was in 2D. We both really enjoyed the movie and I thought they did an excellent job with the story both on earth and Asgard and with the background and origin. I heard and saw something that I wasn't quite sure of, but I knew I would see it again to make sure I was right on my suspicion. It was neat that both Stan Lee and J M straczynski had cameos.
  Today we went to see Thor in 3D at the IMAX, all four of us were together this time. I confirmed my suspicions.
[spoiler] The archer that was going to take out Thor just might be Hawkeye. SHEILD agent Coulson calls him Barton, which is Hawkeye's alter ego, Clinton Barton. Don't know if anyone else caught that.[/spoiler]
By the way, the 3D effects were pretty good, no goofy stuff like in some 3D movies.

Where was J. Michael's cameo? And does anybody know who the big dude was at the Shield base. I think somebody here mentioned Luke Cage. Was he ever in shield. I though maybe it could have been the Falcon. But I don't think he was in Shield till after he was The Falcon if you know what I mean. Just some thoughts.

He was one of the first guys that tried to pull Thor;s hammer out of the ground. Had a ball cap on and I believe a dark plaid shirt. I think his line when he failed was "Oh my!"

Thanks, Ronzo. I remember that now. I didn't know it was him though. Thor made 34 million this past week. Up to 119 million.

Saw it yesterday and I enjoy it a lot. Marvel continues to not disappoint. It was a lot of fun and the story was good.

[spoiler]There were a few moments when Thor got a little annoying on the culture shock jokes. Seems like he would have caught on soon, but it wasn't to bad.

It was a nice different ending leaving the two far apart and I can't wait for the return. Not exactly the happy ending (which isn't a bad thing), I'm glad we get more though.

One other thing Loki I wish was a little more twisting and deceitful at times instead of being the crazy fighter at the end. I was thinking he's to good of a fighter here. I wish it was more of a brains vs bronzes thing. I would have respected him for as a villain I think. But he was alright.[/spoiler]

Can't wait for the Avengers and future installments of Thor.

My roommate rented this last week. I loved it! Thought it was great! The acting was great too. Loved that Anthony Hopkins was Odin. Loved the eye patch! Can't wait to see more! ;D

I enjoyed this, some good acting, a decent tale, though not quite enough to stretch the 100 plus minutes this runs. Hemsworth really came through as leading man and the rest of the cast were fully engaging with one exception. Tom Hiddleston's Loki was a bit washy, a bit meh, until the little snippet during the credits, where I finally feel we had a properly devious, mischievous Loki on screen. I must say that I thought Portman, Hemsworth & Skarsgard had excellent chemistry on screen, in pairs or as a threesome.

This is a very good film, entertaining enough, but not a must see, unless you're a comic book/Thor fan. A good Saturday night, popcorn munching, action flick. 

3.5 / 5

Half way through Kenneth Brannagh's commentary, it nearly adds 1/2 a star to my rating, solo commentary tracks are usually dull, but I'm enjoying Ken, it;s OK, he says you can call him Kem during is narration.
