New THOR Trailer hits online!!!
Hey folks, Harry here...
Trapped with internet so slow - that I'm stuck trying to download this damn thing so I can comment about it for y'all... but I figure... I'll get it eventually. From the start of it, it seems they're dead set on selling it as an Earth bound story primarily. I think that's a mistake, cuz I've heard that most of the film takes place in the realm of Asgard and it's adjoining lands... but I haven't been able to get more than 30% of this trailer loaded so far. So take a look and let me know in Talkback what you think. Hopefully, the CAPTAIN AMERICA full length trailer is coming soon. Right?
After I see this, I'll be back to share my thoughts:
Harry here again... I like it, but I think using the modern hook at the beginning is the wrong way to go with the trailer. It should start with them finding Thor in the desert, cut to Jane asking where Thor came from, cut to Heimdall's narration about the truth of existence, which instantly explains Asgard and a bit about the multiverse.
With this trailer - we're not even introduced to the characters beyond THOR. The natural comic geeks know the Warriors Three, Odin, Heimdall, Loki, Sif, Frigga, etc.... We know that is Asgard, we see the Rainbow Bridge... but how about anyone else? The trailer simply introduces a guy named THOR - but not that he's the God of Thunder, son of Odin, half-brother of Loki. Not that Loki is the God of Mischief. This is all a shame, because the script and film is mostly about Asgard and that world. Sure, midgard is involved - but almost everything that seems ludicrous in this trailer is handled properly within the script with the proper context.
I've talked with 3 different people that have seen a rough cut of the film and they've told me it is outstanding. I just want 1 trailer that introduces the world of THOR, not ours.

New THOR trailer hits!
-
I think running through CGI-ed breaking glass looks cheap and stupid. So, I'm retarded then.
-
So Iron Man and Captain American exist in the same universe where Norse gods are real? I'm not buying it.
-
I want the tagline for this to be... Hammer, don't hurt 'em!
-
This kinda looks gay as hell.
-
Looks pretty badass. I'm ready to smack that girl though. "this is going on Facebook."
-
Don't screw this up. Ugh. I'm clinging to hope so hard I think I may have suffocated it.
-
Looks fucking bad ass.

Actually looks stellar. Do they drink mead in Asgard? I could go for a glass of mead right now.
by xevoid
Looks quite good.
-
the bad guys look a little bland but I saw a few promising ones at the end
-
It also looks like Natalie Portman will be up for another Academy Award for this performance. Hell, Academy Awards all around!!!
-

Really, I think this looks pretty good. The sets for Asgard look sweet, Destroyer looks good and the casting for Thor is spot on. Hope it all comes together. let's just hope Hopkins doesn't phone it in like in Wolfman.
-
thor being taken down with a taser, for comic effect. wtf. okay even if he's made mortal for a bit...he sure is throwing docs around the lab...a taser is going to affect the god of thunder? the one thing i can get behind is that asgardians are kind of godlike aliens. powerful beings that are nearly imoortal that we've viewed as gods through history, but really aren't. i think that fits with marvel style. but this movie looks bad. like, the complete opposite of what thor is about. and poor natalie portman, what a bad role to choose. can we NOT have a superhero movie with a love interest that teaches the hero humanity and then has to get rescued?
-
I completely agree. I wish they would have gone with more of an Ultimates version of Thor.
-
still looks weak. Hopefully its not.
-
I am officially re-stoked. Almost everything about that trailer was spot-on, from the humor, to the action, to Natalie Portman running in slo-mo. . .wow. Just wow. If this movie as good as this trailer is, then I have nothing but high hopes. Kenneth Branagh, don't let me down.
-
I'M IN!
-
-who is the blue satan? -what is the supposed to be scary thing/your run of the mill monster at the end of the trailer? The Destroyer looks 10x more badass. They should have swapped.
-
This looks like the worst movie of the year. But, oh wait, we threw a 'Facebook' line in the trailer so your girlfriend will want to go see...also, a hot guy...who cares if he can act (or even do an accent other then 'ohh a dramatic deep American accent, because I'm from...the past! or...another world!'), your girl will still be getting more wet for him than she ever has for you, even all the times she was trying to lube herself up by thinking of her ex as you grinded away, grunting in her ear like some fat fucking hog... At least we've got TDKR and Supes next year.

stinks bad..

And I'm actually not one of these guys who will sit here and smugly talk about how lame facebook is. It's a fine and worthy service, sure while it has elements you can make fun of, ultimately I use it happily. But everytime I see a facebook joke in a movie these days, I can't help but groan and roll my eyes. and it's not even the potentially dated aspect of it, it' just that... it simply never sounds good, or anywhere close to funny.
-
His shitty time wasting "invention" is now staining Marvel movies. Fuck, that line annoyed me. That and the taser scene. I don't know, I had high hopes for this. Seems like a mixed bag now.
-
Especially the shit where he hits that dude with Molnjr and it comes flying back to him! THATS what I'm talkin' 'bout Willis!
-
At least that is how the trailer seems to present it. Movie #1 is about a couple of chicks on a road trip with a big blonde crazy dude that thinks he's an alien. Movie #2 is about Norse gods and Ragnarok, and takes place in a completely different world. I want to see the one about Ragnarok and Norse gods beating the shit out of supernatural creatures in hand to hand combat.
-
Where the fuck is he? Would have been cool, but no biggie. The Blake identity hasn't been around for quite some time. This trailer is much, much better than the teaser, but they still have to get away from the Masters of the Universe (movie) aspect.
-
Bring on Cap', because Thor is a Netflix.
-
I'm in!
-
The comedic elements are so forced. This movie will be okay... only because TRANSFORMERS exists.
-
... I think I'll get past the comedy of him being on earth
-
lets hope its good

Now that you mention it, the taser scene is a little strange
by Astronut
How does Thor go down from being hit with a taser? Wha - ? Maybe his powers haven't transmitted to him yet...?
-
Better than the Green Lantern trailer. The least of the post-Iron Man Marvel movies but not in Daredevil/Ghost Rider/Fantastic Four territory. The Thor actor seems 10 years too young to me. Zero gravitas. The CG in the Asgard sequences is generic. Design is plastic looking, style-less...BLAND. I love the big Kirby monster thing with the lazer face and the glimpse of Loki in full costume. Natalie Pointless.
-
and I like it. While I enjoyed Tron: Legacy, some scenes that were meant to be humorous (mainly one-liners) fell sorta flat. From what I have seen from this latest trailer, they are going to leaven the special effects with some situational humor (as opposed to just about anything from Adam Sandler) and–admittedly from what little I have seen–some decent, and perhaps good, acting.
-
im out
-
I'm sold. I wanna see it..
-
That trailer just didn't do anything for me, but I'll wait to see what the critics say. Nice to have folks that will take one for the team. I really hope that it is a great popcorn flick. *fingers crossed*
-
I wanted the trailer to show Thor flying but they're probably saving that for the movie. Thor>Captain PC
-
bitch. :-D
-
After the first trailer I was kinda on the fence but it seems like they got the tone of the movie right. There has to be at least some humor in this, I mean he's a viking god wandering around earth. The jokes write themself. And the battles look pretty epic. In 3-D they should be even better. It's gonna be a good summer...
-
And not up to speed at all. And, let's get it straight: Nobody on here bashes Nolan's Batman more than I do. You never used to be this useless. Your criticisms used to carry a sting. Not much of one. Still, enough to get you noticed. Now you just sound like a fucking paranoid nut-ball. Dumber than Glenn Beck. Listen. Last time... I'm not one of The Choppahs. Never was. And neither Flickapoo or myself have ever had our hand in the other's sock.
-
It might look like Clash of the Titans, but I suspect that it will not suck, unlike Clash.
-
I don't know the storyline for Thor, but it looks pretty clear from the other trailer that he's "banished" to earth as a mortal. So it's easy to understand how he could get knocked out by taser. Obviously later his Dad thros him a bone ( er... hammer ) and gives him some of his powers back to help fight evil and redeemhimself or whatever. Also am I the only one who thought Superman 2 when we see this desert shanty town?

If TWO scenes in a 2 minute trailer of a 2 hour movie "ruin" it for you
by Larry Sellers
Just kill yourself now...but yeah, I really don't want to see Thor fight Destroyer in a long-sleeve tee. The Asgard stuff looks outstanding, though. Looks good at this point. And I'm pretty sure they're going for light-hearted/action with this trailer. It's a bit different tonally from the first.
-
Feb. 17, 2011, 8:33 p.m. CST
well as a bitch i must bitch cuz who else will bitch about the bitchinggg?
by ORIONgods
-
than The Hulk should have no problem ripping him a new Asgard asshole the size of his fucking hammer (in the Avengers movie of course!).
-
Whether that's good or bad is up to you
-
I think they're keeping the right balance in these trailers, giving the general audiences something that grounds the film for them and makes it relate-able, but slipping in some nice other-worldly shots and monsters to keep the "epic" feel of it. Looking forward to it.
-
first off, she's an order of magnitude hotter than Natalie Portman. I still say the writers--I'm talking to you, Kevin--have missed a great subplot if Loki doesn't try to put the moves on Kat. They make a much better looking pair than a giant and a midget. Sorry, for that, short people.
-
if not hotter, in her own way. she definitely looks like more fun. but i hate characters like hers in movies like this.
-
What's American about that accent? He's clearly attempting an English accent & doing it pretty badly. <p> Anyway, I'm really unsure about this. As others have said, the Asgard stuff looks great. The rest looks like it's trying to be a "Superhero for women" movie & doing it so obviously & hamfistedly that it'll probably succeed. <p> Aren't there ways of getting a female audience without turning it into a semi-chick flick? Fair enough, obvious & hamfisted cliches/Mr Perfect fantasies bring the ladeez. But that ain't what a Thor movie should be. <p> You could argue that 99.9% of women don't know who Thor is, so it's a way of getting them interested, but once again it's just another variation of pissing on the hardcore audience to get a new one, like when they change everything about a character that people have invested in for years, to get a new, younger audience. This time it's to get a female audience, at the expense of what should be an unashamedly blokie movie.
-
Never once seen Thor with peach fuzz in a mag. Correct me if I'm wrong.
-
But still seems to be a fun movie.
-
Hammer time.

Not that I think any of this summer's comic flix are gonna be elite level, this looks like a good solid entry into the Marvel cannon. Hemsworth looks charismatic, Portman is hot and Kat can be the comic relief. I'm in.
-
i was excited when i heard kenneth was directing, but the first trailers kind of underwhelmed me. now i'm getting excited again.
-
He's had a beard and other facial hair at various times.
-
i'm amazed how many of you here are eating up the 'fish out of water' guy from another planet kind of shtick these trailer are practically oozing. the premise has been done before and better. and thor with a beard, IRL, looks more like aquaman than thor.
-
Feb. 17, 2011, 8:58 p.m. CST
Yikes, Comic Con footage was good, 1st trailer was good, this one is pretty bad.
by Stereotypical Evil Archer
Yes, some spectacular images, but A HELL OF A LOT OF ANNOYING LITTLE SCENES. I was excited, now I'm worried about this film. Lots of bad choices in this trailer, lots of bad choices.
-
now that's how boobs should look. they are a little big for my taste. i like smaller. but the nipples are perfect. i'll never understand people who like man nipples on women.
-
As Thor walks out to face The Destroyer at 1:44 in the trailer, you can see Fandral, Hogun and Volstagg standing by Jane Foster and her friend in the background. The Warriors Three look like they've taken a beating.
-
way to go kat.

by Stereotypical Evil Archer
-
The guy has dull eyes, no spark of intelligence. I loved IM, and IH, I liked IM2 and SM1 &2. This movie, I think will be more along the lines of SM3, Ang Lees Hulk abortion and Daredevil.
-
Can't wait to see it.Why are there so many complaints? All complainers do is waste their own time.
-
I've been in love with Ms Dennings ever since I found those pics. I had no idea who she was. I only discovered she had an acting career as a result of investigating the nipple bearer:p.
-
but i have to put her out of mind to be able to function.
-
He-Man goes to Connecticut
-
And gets tased. And eats a sandwich. And pronounces "Earth" as "Uth."
-
a tazer.... Yeah.... Im going to spend money on this.
-
You must have blinked at the wrong time. The helmet is in one of the Asgard moments. I'm kind of with you on the final monster there. It just says, "oh, someone liked the cave troll design from Fellowship of the Ring". That kind of lack of inspiration drags things down a bit. The best aspects of this film so far are those that Jack Kirby created 40 years ago.
-
trailer looks alright. Of course it has a different tone from the first trailer and the comic con footage, this trailer is targeted to a different audience.
-
Thor pisses off Odin and is stripped of his power - the whole "forced to learn humility" thing was part of the comics from the start. And yes, he has had a beard at various times in the comics, starting with the Simonson run in the 1980s. And no, that is neither an English nor American accent he is going for. Remember, NORSE God? Hello?
-
What woman, or girl, ever, anywhere, has ever said anything like that? What, is she a fan of bodybuilding magazines? "Cut." Nobody uses that expression other than frat boys. When they're getting as close as they ever will to admitting they'd like to experiment, sexually, with their room-mate.
-
Feb. 17, 2011, 9:39 p.m. CST
Hmmm...I've had my doubts about this flick but I've got to admit...
by Mr. Nice Gaius
...that looked fairly badass (especially the shots of the hammer making waves of destruction) and rather fun. Although it's still too early to be sure, this could be a surprise ala IRON MAN.
-
For a pithy talkbacker, you're pretty cut. Want to experiment, sexually? Anyway, THOR. I am warming to it. Not a bad trailer. Doesn't fill me with Chris Evans tingles but I'm more interested now than I was. I felt similar to the first IRON MAN trailers -- none of them ever grabbed me, and when I finally got around to seeing it I was shocked how much I dug it. So here's hoping THOR plays out in longform the same way.
-
wow the ruins the movie omg she said cut faill movieeee failllll :P

I predict this will be the best superhero movie this year...
by Mr. Waturi
And better than anything we've had for a while. Surprised how many of you are complaining. Usually that's my job. I think TDK is very overrated and Iron Man 2 sucked. But this looks like it could potentially be great. Then again, I don't know a thing about the comic so that probably helps.
-
"He isn't trying to sound English..he's trying to sound like a Norse God". What. The. Fuck?<p> Of course he's going for an English accent. In the same way that movies set in Ancient Rome or Middle earth have everyone speaking in posh English accents. <p> What does a Norse God sound like exactly? <p> You need your medication.

This compulsion to saddle these characters with annoying humans is really sad...
by Toruk_Makto
I need to have some twit spout pop culture references every five minutes to relate to Thor? I mean, do i really need you around to make this story work? Is it really essential to watch the God of thunder fumble with microwave popcorn or learn the wonder known as the washing machine? Hey writer, when it's all said and done you can only succeed by reducing the character to your level, because you lack the intellectual wherewithal to rise to his.
-
I'll watch it
-
makes me think this movie will be much better than I ever could have imagined they could make out of THOR.
-
Thor vs Generic-Giant-Powerrangers Villain...lame.
-
The trailer looks good, the chicks comment on him being homeless kinda pisses me off. He's using a norelco on that beard. Homeless people have a hard time with hair management.

...Then I probably don't want to see your Thor movie.
-
Looks good, n everyone here is going 2 see it no matter what they say.. its going 2 be a solid flick just likeim1,2 and hulk.. can't wait!
-
I thought the trailer was awesome full of action, humor and some gravitas. Asgard looks amazing and the hammer work was very cool. The Destroyer looks spot on and creatures for the different worlds around Asgard look great, Dark elfs, trolls and the like. Now for you idiots who are wondering why a taser can take down Thor have you even watched the first trailer where it explains that Odin has taken away Thor's powers and banished him to earth for ending the peace of Asgard? So while Thor is still a bad ass he is like any other mortal who if they get hit by a taser they go down. People at least educate yourself before you get all negative on something. But that is too much too expect from people who just love to post negativity all the time.
-
Feb. 17, 2011, 10:14 p.m. CST
Looks good enough to fall in line with Hulk and Iron Man..
by CeejayNightwing
Still wished they'd gone with the Ultimates version of Thor rather than 616 universe cheesy look. Thor getting tased after being stripped off his power is understandable especially since he's obviously still weak from his abrupt arrival. (I don't think most bitching fanboys can put 2 & 2 together to grasp this from first viewing as usual!) I love Kat Dennings but she may be one comic relief too much for the movie depending on how much of her performance they cut or if they kill her off mid movie. And my only real problem is the catering for the convenience stuff like arriving from Asguard with T-shirt and Jeans instead of Terminator style naked, and the " oh no this is Earth" lines from the previous trailer instead of saying "Midguard". Worse off is the Black and Chinese Asguardian PC thing which is also a bit unnecessary. Other than that I'm kinda looking forward to this and even more to Tony Starks appearance if he has one!
-
You Guys Are Caked! That looked awesome!
-
I hope she'll be able to handle my girth.
-
Same as in Star Trek. But the action looks surprisingly good. Very Actiony. Actionyesque.
-
Alan Cummings got old. I always wanted him for Loki (looks like they got his doppleganger). But then again, before X-men....I wanted Bob Hoskins to play Wolverine.

Oh hey wow lmao cool flick there love when it turns into Final Fantasy sweet can't wait
-
I agree, suffering a significant gravitas shortfall. Still, even though it is a grey area, resistance is character forming.
-
these trailers and such peak no interest in me. and in 3D? and that chick from 40 yr old virgin looks like she is seriously gonna kill every scene she makes an idiotic hipster comment in. but i think it's pretty awesome they put the ice dudes in this.
-
Smudgewhat! With so crappy an actor!"
-
i kinda hope not. i dont wanna spend the extra money when honestly i like watching old fashioned 2d a lot more
-
being the god of thunder? how does a taser hurt him?
-
" your girl will still be getting more wet for him than she ever has for you, even all the times she was trying to lube herself up by thinking of her ex as you grinded away, grunting in her ear like some fat fucking hog... ." you sound quite bitter pal. Speaking from personal experience? No wait, couldn't be, that would actually require a human female to want to be within 10 feet of you.

yes he can get hurt, he gets stripped of his powers by Odin
by biggev77
First trailer you hear Odin say he's stripping Thor if his powers n thus sending him 2 earth (midgard)... I do this comic book stuff Lmao
-
A trailer should either tease, or give you a clear picture of where a movie's going. Do you think you have any idea what order the scenes in this trailer are really in in the movie? There's a scene fighting a giant robot in the southwest, and a scene being chased by a monster dog from Hell in Antarctica, and Anthony Hopkins apparently rules the Vikings from Radio City Music Hall, and there's some black guy who I'm pretty sure is NOT a Viking, and there's some comedy about being a Viking (maybe in the sequel, he can fight a Viking stove). And my interest in seeing this just plummeted because I have no idea what it's about.
-
Thor is a tough one to pull off but looks fun at least.
-
I hope he can grow his hair out in time for Avengers because that awful rug is pretty distracting, if you ask me. Um, otherwise, I'm feeling better and better about this movie, even though I'm not a big Thor fan. Huh. "Thor Fan" sounds like a Chinese restaurant.
-
i'm serious, i laughed
-
First trailer left me cold. This one worked for me, so I'm dropping some cash, getting some popcorn and going to have some fun. Of course I was pretty much sold since THOR is the GOD I sacrifice all my KFC to.
-
Always a plus in my book. If I don't like the movie I can just enjoy the hot guy.... oh and the movie looks like it'll be a fun bit of afternoon entertainment.
-
Good colors. I don't like the re-use of the music style at first of the original Transformers teaser though. I hate when trailers recycle musical ideas from movies or other trailers. Death to that.
-
That looked spot on! Don't get the hate on here. Feel the norseness!
-
That's what the Gort robot should've been like in the "The Day The Earth Stool Still" remake.
-
...looks exactly like the cave troll from Fellowship of the Ring but way bigger. I want this to be good so bad, but it looks a bit Ghost Rider to me.
-
Everything in this trailer comes off like a direct evocation (or rip-off) of the Terminator films, War of the Worlds, and Hellboy. It's a lot like the latest Resident Evil movie blatantly stole all kinds of shots from the Matrix films and then stuffed its trailer full of them. And it's not a trend I admire or approve of.
-
But I don't think they put this trailer together properly at all, they didn't think through how horribly it emphasis the formulaic qualities: exile saves mankind from superior race that wants to demolish them. Sound familiar anybody? Zzzzzzz.
-
I was going to list all the fucktards who do nothing but bitch but it got to be too many and I wasn't a 1/4 way down the TB. I got this far: matthooper8, dr. egon spengler, tazzzer, eggers, jethrobodine, raidahguy, performingmonkey. Obvious there are more, so I just mass describe how tired I am of fucking wasted of life using up my air. Whether you are just trolling for reaction or serious about not thinking this looks awesome. You are fucking fuckwads. This trailer looked so amazing, yes that's my opinion which you can argue is no better than your opinion however the stupid anti-social behavior exhibited by your specific compliants. GOD! You are so sad!!! This trailor was AMAZING! *Final note for the absolute moronic "The God of thunder gets taken down by a taser" He was made mortal. AND even know I can most certainly kick your asses, I am just as sure a taser would take me down. This is indisputable that your logic or lack of is flawed.

I'd rather see Kat Dennings nekkid than the Black Swan
by MARCEL_THE_NEGRO_PROJECTIONIST
I love me some Kat Dennings! What a fuckin' hottie!
-
Anything is better than that!
-
Seriously. And it was my wife's idea.
-
Thor is going to be insane! That is all.
-
For the record I really want this movie to be awesome, I'm not a hater... ...but these trailer cuts give me fears that maybe this it will have a total of 2 fight scenes, one in the beginning and one in the end and then everything in the middle is a kooky fish-out-of-water story with Natalie Portman. Just like The Phantom Menace. On the upside at least I'll be walking into the theater with lower expectations and I'll probably end up loving it.
-
We know Odin takes Thor's powers away, that's pretty obvious. Tasering him is still ridiculous looking, though. Now, if you want to watch a scene that perfectly encapsulates how vulnerable a mortal man can be, watch the diner scene in Superman 2.
-
This looks awesome. I like the humourous parts they've shown, because a norse god on Earth should be funny. I hope he fucks some wenches too, like Portman and the sexy emo bitch.
-
It still looks like it's going to suck balls. Sorry, but I get a cheap, clunky, poorly executed dialogue filled cgi fest from these trailers...
-
Fair enough dude, you love the trailer. I'd say though, that there is a 99.9999999999% chance you'll be joining the hate bandwagon after this hits screens. How can anyone listen to Helmsworths delivery and not cringe!? It's fucking AWFUL! And thats just from 5 or 6 lines from 2 trailers.. imagine a whole movie worth of dialog

Humor, action, adventure, this looks fun as hell. Finally the humor won't come from a cocky douchebag. (I loved Iron Man as much as the next guy, but that Green Lantern imitation makes my eyes bleed.) Marvel has it's shit together finally. I wonder if the movie starts with crazy homeless Thor, and then have Asgard flashbacks.

As Thor speeds off to fight crime in Asgard City with his trusty sidekick, Kid Thor!

"I think TDK is very overrated and Iron Man 2 sucked."
by Subtitles_Off
So, this might be the first time you are wrong. It happens to all of us.
-
He's cast out of Asgard and powerless, stripped of his powers by Odin. He's still obviously strong by mortal standards, but he doesn't have his powers. He's going to have to prove his worth and his nobility on Earth before he gets his Godly, Thor powers back. The hammer is going to be a "sword-in-the-stone" metaphor: "Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor" So that's why he can be tasered: he's mortal! Duh! And the movie looks great! It's going to be tits! I say thee are wrong, naysayers!
-
Why his son wasn't cast as Thor?
-
I'm pretty sure Thor can usually fly. So... is he actually going to fly? Or...
-
doesnt Hopkins say, he who wields the hammer has the power of Thor or something? maybe his power is removed until he finds his hammer. loe the trailer but I think it sucks that e doesn't wear his costume on ear or his helmet. its just a muscle man in a tshirt, where's his fucking superhero ou fit!!

If you named your son Odin, you're not morons, necessarily, but
by Subtitles_Off
you better have an airtight anti-bully contingency. You owe it to the little mister. He never asked for you to paint a name-shaped bulls-eye on his ass.
-
We all get it, he doesn't have his powers. Again, tasering Thor is stupid. Tasering Thor is stupid. Tasering Thor is stupid. It was done for comic relief. That's stupid.
-
It really is. So is marketing Thor as a clever, funny rom-com with s#!t blowing up. Who is that supposed to work for? "Honey, I really, really, really wanna see THOR!" "I told you, I wasn't going to another stupid superhero movie until you took me out to see Jennifer Aniston." "But, but, but...look! THOR has a funny, frumpy chick in it. And the dude is more cut than Ashton Kutcher!" "Oh, I do like my men cut. If they can't be shredded, that is."
-
which I'm guessing is called Destroyer!, looks like Klaatu as re-imagined by The Black Eyed Peas.
-
This looks BITCHIN'.
-
He'll roll over your feet in his skates and hit you with his giant boom box, and his 'fro comb won't even shift. Seriously. Who has said "BITCHIN'" since the Disco Era?
-
That's why I hate this site. Nothing but a bunch of bitching and moaning. Other sites are blowing up with positive reaction... why did I even come here?
-
Nothing can save Thor from being gay because the entire premise of Thor is laughable. The comic itself is a joke. Superheroes and mythology can't go together. Iron Man supersuit and a magical hammer can't go together. This movie FAILS.

I'm not thurprised, you forgot your thaddle thilly...

Isn't it supposed to be "Thou doth dare threaten, Thor, doth thou?" Or, "Thou darest threaten?" Or, "Thou threateneth?" Daddy took away his lisp along with his power?
-
Yeah. Sure they are. AICN: The last bastion of anti-hype on the internet. Right.
-
When the English language was being created, don't you think whoever put an "S" in the word "lisp" was a total bastard?
-
The last 20 seconds of the trailer looks to me how the remake of 'The Day The Earth Stood' Still should have looked like.
-
that shit made me laugh. Someone thinking he's thor in real life, or wanting to start the old norge religion again sounds way better than this Marvello storyline. This will be a three star film everywhere though, with the comments in the likes of 'don't go in expecting a story and you'll be entertained in this generic summer fare'.

More tilted camera angles than Battlefield Earth
by DiscreetFighterAlpha
I'm fucking serious. I thought that horrible ass movie killed the notion of using them again altogether. That shit was so '90s music video.
-
Fuck Thor, If you want to see a hammer welded properly the British T.V soup 'Coronation Street' is where it's at folks! http ://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unZ7aWauzQw
-
it isn't hard to accept. There are gods in Star Trek for crying out loud. Marvel are most famous for their "cosmic" themes and storylines, Captain AMerica has Odin related items and the cosmic Cube. Trailer is brilliant and having shown that the film takes place on 2 worlds of course they are going to show people "relatable" Earth footage, it's just marketing sense.
-
Use your fucking brains.. they can tase him because he doesn't have any powers and he is mortal, due to Odin's punishment. He gets his power once he finds his hammer. This is like the comics except he remembers who he is and he is not crippled. Frankly, I prefer it this way.
-
I'm first in the queue for my ticket. Going now..gonna have to wait a while...in the rain...but it will be worth it. Looks awesome and much better than Capt. USA or whatever.
-
Really excited for this film now. I'm not expecting to see the film and think 'They really should have held on to that for awards season' but it looks fun as hell. I love that with Thor they're staying true to the totally monkeys**t crazy elements of Frost Giants and Trolls rather than trying to reign in the fantasy. I love that through this film the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be able to include characters that aren't humans altered by science but epic beasts and otherworldly villains that can threaten the world with something crazy like the Infinity Gauntlet and cosmic cubes rather than having to come up with some psuedo science that doesn't ring true but isn't quite fantasy enough for people to abandon their disbelief. I cannot wait to sit in my cinema with a pair of stupid 3D glasses on and see a big old thunder God hammer the crap out of big weird ice dog thing. Cinema hasn't shown me other crazy none Earth worlds often enough lately and I'm itching to go.

I bet every person who complains will see it...
by the_man_with_two_brains
...based purely on the fact that you've read the post and watched the trailer. I'm a lifelong comic book reader (albeit based in the UK, so not so enamoured with Marvel/DC), however I'll watch it at the cinema and probably enjoy the experience without wishing to repeat it. I've read some Thor comics and a lot like Green Lantern it never sucked me in 'cause I found the early stuff boring and I just never perservered. I know enough about Norse mythology to understand the characters and references in this film but at the end of the day it's a made up film based on a made up comic about made up stuff. None of it's real, just enjoy the experience, or not or just don't go if it bothers you so much...:)
-
I swear, if I close my eyes, he sounds just like Jeffries... I'm looking forward to this, though. If nothing else, it just expands the Marvel movie universe a little, and I would imagine we will get a glimpse at some sort of Avengers tease after the ending credits... Not really why I want to see a movie, but it will help pass the summer.
-
Kenneth Branagh has never made a good film, Natalie Portman is possibly the most wooden, lifeless actress that has ever existed and Thor has a beard and bleached eyebrows? Give me Don Blake and those Easter Island rock men from space!
-
But shit like 'that facebook line ruined the movie for me' really? Grow the fuck up. It's one line in a whole film and her character is a 20 year old girl. That's just the kind of response you would get. If you take these sort of things so insanely and over the top seriously how do you ever enjoy any film? Trailers have to sell to an audience beyond comic book fans so they make more of little moments to draw people in with what they're familiar with so they can try and surprise and hopefully impress them with what they're not. Also that thing looks exactly like a cave troll then someone else says it looks like the Kraken from Clash of the Titans. So there's already different ideas on what it looks like, maybe it doesn't look exactly like either. It's got a mouth and eyes and arms and legs and is a big beast but it's not exactly either. Also both looked good so who cares if it looks similar? Boo-hoo he's not got his helmet on ALL THE TIME. He does wear it and the character is more than just a fucking helmet. WAAAA!!!! Everything in the World isn't exactly how I want it. You spoiled little bitches.
-
And the Destroyer looks badass. However, I can already tell this site will be populated mostly by socially stunted dimwits who proclaim this "the worst movie ever," as if they've never watched an actual bad movie before.
-
Hilarious! You are right, of course. People need to stop bashing an entire film based on a 2-minute trailer. Yeah there are some suspect moments but god damn, there's an entire film we have not seen yet. Chill out.
-
you spoiled little bitches!!! they obviously don't remember superheroes movies of the 80's/90's like the flash (which wasn't that bad) and the dire captain america, count your lucky stars!!!
-
He looks nothing like Vincent D'Onofrio. And where are the damned winged helmets?
-
I think it has some questionable elements, but also some very cool shit. Actually I'm thinking it looks ridiculous, but in a good, fun way...which is exactly what anyone who has read Thor for a long time will realize to be the right way to do this movie. Looks like they nailed Loki to me, and the "Another!" part was hilarious. I only hope that dog thing wasn't supposed to be Fenris.
-
i don't think it looks like crap. Plus Portman's in her element when there's shitty dialogue and sfx.
-
What?
-
just like the myspace ref in iron man. Gotta appeal to the egotistical idiots that litter the internet with their worthless bullshit because it's hip. Fuck trends and fuck the mainstream.
-
Wow, there is a lot stupidity in here. The taser downed him because he was stripped of his powers. The accent is Australian, mainly because Hemsworth is Australian. If you don't think that Captain America and Iron Man can exist in the same world as Norse gods, then you do not believe the entirety of the Marvel Universe, since they have been co-inhabitants since Cap was revived in the 60's. At least have a basic understanding of the source material before you go ape shit. Oh, and it's a movie. There aren't actually any Norse gods running around. It's called suspension of belief.
-
That it is set in New Mexico. This was obviously done for budgetary reasons since that's where they could afford to film it...and that's kind of lame when a film's budget actually affects the plot.
-
"it looks ridiculous, but in a good, fun way..." Exactly! Some people have mentioned the Dolph e-Man movie. Yea, a big budget, modern, Branagh directed He-Man. What's wrong with that? Wasn't He-Man kinda a copy of Marvel's Thor anyway?
-
Was he in Tron?
-
Masters of the Universe is fucking great. One of the best movies of all time.
-
Really like the colour tone of the movie. Kudos! As for the acting etc, have to see the final product but I actually like the approach taken so far.
-
Thor's hammer Mjolnir can fly. Thor just holds onto it.
-
Who knows what the actual product will be like. But ya never know, it just might kick a lot of ass. Branagh is not a bad director. Not overall, anyway.
-
Don't know enough about the comic to really know what is right and what isn't. I'm sure I will see it, just not super excited for it, at least not at the moment.
-
But that trailer helps a bit.
-
Sorry Dick Jones- had to say it.
-
I hope my local theater has a 2D option as well. I think this movie will be good. The Destroyer looks awesome- I wonder whose soul is inhabiting his body?
-
Hope it rocks. I'll be there opening night.
-
Lots of new scenes in this trailer that are straight out of the script that leaked through, I think, comicbookmovie.com? Doesn't seem like anyone else has read it, so let me say there's more action than I was expecting--a big fight in Jotunheim with Thor, Sif, and the Warriors Three (all the really blue scenes in the trailer), fighting Thor vs. SHIELD agents to get his hammer back, Thor and his friends again vs. the Destroyer, then Thor vs. Loki. And Harry's right, more of it takes place in Asgard than you'd think from the trailers. Overall it seemed better than I expected, but the whole movie is about Thor learning to become a true hero and there's really no arc there--he hits Earth, tussles a bit, and suddenly is acting completely contrary to his old self. He's just suddenly a hero.
-
I'll be there.
-
Good to see he's got the viking subtleties nailed down.
-
this steaming pile isn't getting my £10. No way.

Cause it hurths!

I went to college, knew a lot of girls, and trust me, "cut" *is* an adjective they would use to describe someone who was muscular. A word they definitely wouldn't use? "Muscular".

I was thinking about why Alexander Skarsgard wasn't cast as Thor
by D.Vader
And my reasoning is that his voice just isn't that deep and mighty.
-
Asgard looking good.i'm looking forward to this.hope the helmet gets worn a lot.
-
per: http://www.shoaheducation.com/thor.html##thor Thor was the god of thunder, the son of Wotan, or Odin. A warrior god also, he was known for his magic hammer which would destroy what it was thrown at, and return to Thor's hand. He rode around middle earth in a goat-drawn carriage. "His abode was Thruthheim [Land of Strength] "2. The strength and war nature of both Thor and Odin (Wotan) were essential themes in Nazi theology. Not only were these Gods Aryan, but they were filled with Magic and Power: many of the top leaders in Hitler's Inner Circle such as Himmler, Goebbels and Hitler himself began to envision themselves as god-like, taking on the characteristics of the Norse gods and Great German historical leaders such as Heinrich I, who had become in German legend of a sort of "king Arthur" stature. Grandiose plans and egos sought after black arts and occultism and ancient volkish rights in order to accomplish the world domination these men held as forefront. This is Branagh's Schindler's List.
-
Sir Anthony Hopkins isn't selling me on being NORSE (then again, neither is the black guy as Heimdall but that's for a different post) If there were ever a role for Brian Blessed, I have yet to see it. I'm a huge fan of Sir Anthony's and have many of his movies in my collection but he's just not striking me as gruff enough to be Odin.
-
that was cool
-
He's not supposed to be Norse. You're conflating "Gods of Asgard" with "Nordic people".
-
a compliment. the action looks really good. fun, exciting, unusual. the Destroyer 'powering up' is very cool. Hemsworth looks convincing chucking the hammer which i figured was gonna be tough to pull off. so i guess we'll see how this turns out.
-
...the more I see. This is better than the first trailer. More epic. Even my teenaged daughter is wanting to see it. My wife is on the fence. Gonna be cool, me thinks.
-
If the actor is so awesome, give him his own franchise. I'll pay to watch that. Just don't cast him in a role he is not suited for. There's a reason why there are no African Hobbits just like there's a reason there's no white Zulus. Don't tell me I'm racist, I'm multiracial.
-
That trailer is outstanding. The ones up until this one have been lackluster. I'm excited for the film for the first time.
-
They're the gods the Norse people worshiped. They can look any goddamned way the filmmakers please. CHOPPED.
-
With so many movies to see, this one will be a rental.
-
A few neat moments strewn here and there but overall, nothing special. I bet the 3D will come off as crummy as it did in CotT as well.
-
Yes but gods are an invention of man. How could and why would Norse peoples invent an African god when they've never even seen a non-white before?
-
But in the Marvel universe, Asgard was not created by humans--it exists independently from it. Thus, even if Norse people came in contact with such beings and began worshiping them, there's no reason these aliens would need to look like vikings. Thus, black Asgardian gods wouldn't be any more ridiculous as anything else in the Marvel universe. No offense, Marvel universe.

So why have Norse people always depicted these gods as resembling themselves?
by Keats
Quit rationalizing. You know full well that it’s just a lame attempt at political correctness on the part of the studio.
-
divide the fans so aggressively. Half of the TBers are totally pumped about this and the other half is completely turned off. I, for one, love the new trailer. You can't take Thor - the God of Thunder too seriously in the real world and the film seems to acknowledge this. I'm also glad we aren't getting a "I have amnesia and I have to discover that I'm Thor" story. He should know he's a god. That makes it all the more powerful when he falls in love with the lowly mortals of Midgard, and appoints himself as their guardian because he finds them worth saving.
-
While I'm sure it pisses off everyone who wants to see a straight Asgardian chamber piece (for that, I recommend Wagner), but for me there's a special place in my heart for bad fantasy-sci-fi movies where the hero ends up in present day. "Masters of the Universe," "Beastmaster 2," and obviously, one of the few great movies in this bastard genre, "Star Trek IV." More importantly, this looks and sounds like a Marvel Comic (larger than life, dumb, and loud) complete with Kirby-esque production design. We haven't seen that yet, and maybe there's a reason, but this is the superhero movie of 2011.

by MattmanReturns
Almost.
-
They just put ‘em together.
-
Personally, if I had to choose between this and either of the Iron Man movies based upon the trailors alone, I'd pick THOR. That being said, all the comic book movies are starting to show their one fatal flaw...theyre based on characters created for 10 year old boys back in the 50's and 60's. They all start to sound and look the same after awhile.
-
Feb. 18, 2011, 1:25 p.m. CST
I don't know shit about the comic, but the movie looks cool
by MattmanReturns
Apparently the tazer scene is offensive, but as others have pointed out, maybe he doesn't have his powers yet or something. I dunno. And yeah, it looks like a total 80s movie, which is fine by me. Thor actually had some arrogant personality in this trailer. Portman's delivery of that "He said his name was... Thor" line was hilarious. Special effects look cool. The teaser bored me, but I guess I'm just not cool enough to hate this trailer.
-
Just drop "facebook" into any line and you'll have them throwing their own shit at the screen. It's hilarious. The line seemed perfectly natural to me. Then again, I don't get offended when I see someone drinking Coke in a movie... because people drink Coke in real life.

"Thor would have been a great movie, but they had to mention Facebook!"

"So I can only give it 1 star."

You'd have to actually know some girls to be aware of this fact, though.
-
Seriously, dutch angles are not cool. They don't makes shots more interesting. Why is the shot of the diner shot sideways? Why does the diner need to look more bad-ass. I just don't get it.
-
Hmm . . . seems to me the writers of this one are fans of Stargate SG1.
-
But still don't see how Thor exsists in the same universe as Ironman or the Hulk. "What we call magic is their science?" Eh, and the Alien God of Thunder speaks Australian English too. Ok ok shut up, it's a comicbook movie.
-
I''ve been reading these books since I was a wee lad in the 70's. I've been waiting 40 years to see Spidey/Thor/Iron Man, Cap, etc on screen...with a real budget/production team. But I'm worried. I liked the Cap suit; still not sold on Evans or the picture...waiting patiently for a real trailer on that. But this....I don't know...It's just the kid playing Thor looks like a cross between '76 Jeff Bridges and a velvet painting of Andy Gibb as Jesus after some Jane Fonda workout and a protein shake. I aslo didn't realize Paul Mitchell had a goddamned Asgard location. Speaking of which, Asgard stuff looks way better now that the shots have a lil more rendering to 'em...I love the hammer return...but why isn't he flying? You know the drill, boys. He throws the hammer, grabs the strap, and flies, Mr. Branagh...where's THAT shot, Shakespeare Boy? Ahh, who the fuck am I kidding... It's not like I haven't already booked the release date as a ..[ahem] "sick day"... now...where the fuck is that kool-aid?
-
You could have just said you're one of those Facebook fags; a trend follower. I would have bought that over your other explanation as to why you thought it felt "natural" to you.
-
You've never heard a girl say "This is goin on facebook?" Well, I have. Hence, it seems natural to me.
-
If you drink any kind of popular soda or beer, wear jeans, watch movies, eat pizza, use Windows or a mac, have an xbox or a ps3, watch TV, etc... you're also a trend follower. Unless you've miraculously managed to avoid just about every trend on the planet.
-
....the line instantly and unnecessarily dates the movie. Think if this movie was made a few years ago and the bim said "I'm putting that on MySpace." Just like the line "my bad" in the shitty Transformers movie is yet one more kernel of corn in that pile.

This Looks Gay. Really Gay. And I'm Not Sorry.

"the line instantly and unnecessarily dates the movie"
by MattmanReturns
Clothes, cars, technology, and hairstyles instantly date ANY movie. Unless you're doing some otherworld futuristic sci-fi or fantasy, it's very difficult to avoid dating a movie set on earth. The line simply reflects the time in which the movie takes place. Then again, I'm trying to explain this to people who got pissed over seeing a "Chase" building Dark Knight...
-
"Have I mentioned yet this episode that I'm pregnant?"
-
...and yet inexplicably injury prone.
-
in ThorD. Get it, get it?
-
Why does most of the Western world think of a humble, Jewish carpenter as a lily white Caucasian with light brown hair and blue eyes? From Aztecs to Chinese to Indians, we project our own images onto our gods. In the Marvel universe, Asgardians might as well be aliens from another planet. Why would they happen to look like Vikings just because the Norse happened to worship them at one time? If I can accept the frankly ludicrous Marvel universe with its monsters, mutants, and other supernatural entities (many with unlikely names like Magneto and Galactus), why would I possibly have a problem with one "god" of Asgard being played by a black actor in a film adaptation of the Thor comic book? Shit -- talk about anal... I mean, you're going to complain about a comic book film, and you choose THAT to bitch about? I would say I CHOPPED you, but you really CHOPPED yourself, frank. Move on, buddy.
-
So fast it looks like a whirlwind.

Thought this was going to be a disaster, and it is looking more and more like a wicked mofo. Plus Kat Dennings?! Totally didn't know she was in this! Natalie's drop-dead gorgeous, but Kat is one big, soft pile of sex. Win, win and more win!!!!
-
As if a "facebook" line could ruin an entire movie. Word of the day folks- OVERREACTION.
-
Saw that as a kid and always dug the hell out of it. Robin Williams talking about trying to squeeze out a hard turd- disturbing. Always loved that part in Henry V with Derek Jacobi walking in the middle of the battle like a documentary reenactment historian. Like the guy who gets killed in "Holy Grail".

"Natalie's drop-dead gorgeous, but Kat is one big, soft pile of sex"
by THE_CHOPPAH
Quote of the day.
-
The shitty clusterfuck known as MARY SHELLEY'S FRANKENSTEIN. Jesus, that was bad. On the lighter side, Branagh's HAMLET was respectable. Best Polonius interpretation EVER (thanks to the wildly talented and innovative Richard Briers). Too bad, though, that Branagh didn't film the fucker when Branagh himself was ten years younger. A 40 something Hamlet just doesn't get it for me. Branagh lost some fire he really needed with that decade... Henry V -- best battle scene ever. Probably the best Shakespeare adaptation ever filmed. Branagh was a fucking PRODIGY.
-
Fucking DEAD AGAIN was ACES. Closest thing to a Hitch movie I've seen since Hitch died (but with that awesome, gender-bending supernatural twist).
-
The shears!
-
It’s PC nonsense and nothing more. If the Asgardians are aliens, why do they look anything like humans at all? Did the same races happen to develop on whatever planet they came from as developed on Earth? Since there are no real actual gods, the people who make them up tend to imagine them looking like they themselves do. BUT...If the Norse gods were actually real aliens that nordic people had met, they would have represented them as they actually looked. I don’t really care. I don’t like comic books and comic book movies in general, and I have no plans to see this one, but this struck me as being a stupid and disingenuous move by the studio as a way to make more money by appealing to a wider audience or something, and I didn’t like people such as yourself defending such manipulative tactics, so I thought I would express my opinion. Guess I got chopped though, or something.
-
Who CARES if the black guy was cast due to PC concerns? He's a MINOR character. You're carrying on like a black man was cast as THOR! You've got one thing right though. There arguably ARE no gods, and all human beings tend to project their own features onto the gods they worship in some form or other. But SINCE we have to swallow the idea of a world in which gods of one pantheon ARE objectively real (and--yeah--for SOME reason look just like us) why NOT have a god or two of a different race. It just ain't a stretch nor does it break the suspension of disbelief more than a shit ton of other, much greater concerns.
-
Ever seen him play Cyrano de Bergerac? He was fucking TREMENDOUS in that play. One of the best actors alive or dead.
-
Do you guys agree?
-
Yeah, no, it's going to be a giant flop.. and I feel neutral about the trailer. But here's the deal, ok? Besides how lucky they were that they were able to score the old Gilmore Girls set for the modern day Earth scenes there, really, truly great. Really diggin the nostalgia of remembering when taser and facebook jokes were the hot thing in romantic comedies, that's a very elegant touch to what otherwise feels like piece of corporate 3D fucking SCHLOCK. Oh, hey, let's take a guess, how many times do you think we'll get to see his hammer come flying out of the screen in cool special 3D effects!!! fucking WOW!!!! I ONLY SAW IT ABOUT 4 TIMES IN THE FUCKING TRAILER, I BET THAT WON'T GET FUCKING OLD!!!! Really, thanks, love the bad accent and wanna-be Transformers cool secret agencies cheese-fest garbage. But hey, if you're a fan of fucking Dr. Pepper and 7-11, cool!! Oh, and how more fucking can Harry's total transparency of how much he could care less about this movie. I'd say it's a safe bet "sumbwuddy" didn't get a set visit or special promotional materials *giggle* I truly believe Harry is completely child-like in how all of his beliefs and opinions are created, like it just depends on how "gwumpy" he was at any particular moment he was exposed to a stimulus that predicts his unchanged retarded viewpoint for the rest of his life.. like, he doesn't have the capabilitity to THINK about stuff or INTELLECTUALIZE it, its just oh me likey likey. Why even fucking BOTHER IF YOU'RE GOING TO TOTALLY HALF-ASS IT?!
-
I still think it’s really dumb, but you are right that there appear to be many other, even dumber aspects to this movie. And at least you admitted that the casting was most likely due to PC concerns. For the record, I think it is far more ridiculous that James Franco might be playing the lead role in Akira.

Um, I think Hopkins had plenty of training working with a dumbass lead actor on Wolfman. "I will keeel ALLL of yooo!"

The girl was a small B-cup at best during filming of this, perhaps the most underbreasted Jewess in all of Hollywood. So, knowing there would be slow motion scenes of said small tittaged Ms. Hershlag, but also keeping in mind of, and looking at, the returns of Bayformers 1 & 2, both of which featured scenes of the vastly more willingly trammpy Megan Foxs barely sheathed baby feeders bouncing provocatively in the glistening eyes of 16yr old virgins everywhere...Marvel did the smart thing...they bought her falsies for the film. So thanks to human instinct and it's influence on trailer editing and box office returns, we can watch with rapt cocks as Nat super slow mo runs, her C cup falsies flailing away at the inside her her probably too tight t-shirt in glorious 3D. Sigh..if they had only waited a year or so...we'd have gotten real C-cups outta Nat...and honestly...I'd be much more willing to pay top dollar to watch her ease out one of her luscious Kosher Cradle Carafes and pressure Lactate right at the camera in 3D, than I would be to do so for this.

Finally! Subtitles_Off catches some of Hey_Kobe's diseased spittle...
by FlickaPoo
...and gets accused of being me instead of the other way around. It would be gentlemanly of Mr. Off to explain at some point what he did to pinch the angry little man's foreskin...Kobe goes on, and on, and the better part of a year later I still have no idea what the fuck he's talking about.

only a matter of time before someone said that.

I'm kind of up for this movie, but he crash-lands in modern clothing? Really? Naked I could understand, and proabably even expect so they can make a cheesy joke out of it but that just seems...odd.

they haven't marketed a substantial villain with a personality we can immediately recognize-an anti-thesis if he even has one. The conflict that they're showing the most is what most people have said about him being a fish out of water ala Starman.

Saying that, we're getting another Kirby character on screen

Take it easy on the curmudgeon of AICN, his demeanor may, in part, be due to arriving 'late' to the old folks home and thus . . . no pudding for the week!

in IM1.

I'll probably skip this and just re-read Walt Simonson's run for the 20th time.
-
They were Gods of the northern Germanic tribes. If Thor is going to have an accent, it would be Scandanavian, not English.
-
...has me worried now. Everything seemed more solid in the teaser. That beast which breaks out of the ice...they're obviously trying hard for KRAKEN-level, but - sorry (eek).

Turd, take me off that list and you might be on to something.
by THE_CHOPPAH
There's no way to prove these things in this arena, but believe me...there is only one god, and THE CHOPPAH is his prophet. Why would I want to be anyone else? If you could experience being me for hone day, one hour, you would know that I speak the truth.
-
don't mean to be negative but i'm gonna hold out for the next trailer... how does Thor arrive in a massive bolt of lightning energy...and then get taken down by a tiny tazer!? I don't know, maybe cause he managed to kiss a girl at least once in his lifetime... who knows?<p> That said, this looks like it could be...all kinds of things right now
-
I always did like you.

I thought this was a pretty excellent Trailer for the upcoming "Thor" movie. Definitely looking forward to seeing this film in the theater come May! Now granted, Thor, as with Ironman were not really characters I followed all that much back in my younger comicbook collecting days as a kid...I was more of a "Uncanny Xmen", "Amazing Spiderman", "Incredible Hulk" and "Ka-Zar" kind of follower. I will say that I have really enjoyed both Ironman films tremendously, thought that the "Incredible Hulk" film was pretty good and I am actually looking forward to seeing "Thor" and "Captain America" when they both hit the big screen in a few months time....I think that we the Sci-Fi/Comic Book loving fans will be pleased with the films and how the characters have been brought to life onscreen. Just my humble opinion/$2.50 cents worth :)

and now the talkbacks getting through the looking glass here with Chopph
by Smack_Teddy
"Charlies in the trees man!" <p> They Should do a Sherlock & Watson in 'nam movie, im a bit more partial or predisposed to something like that than this Thor movie right now
-
....and I feel no emotion - nothing. This whole project leaves me feeling indifferent and that this is just another dull, super hero movie with some flashy CG work. Fucking boring!
-
...most people, I think, would see the trailer and think it was goofy Power Ranger nonsense. But it *is* based on a comic book, and most people going in know this, and with that even a non-Thor fan can understand how the costumed supergod storyline and all its trappings requires a "just go with it" attitude. I suspect that like The Incredible Hulk, Thor will be most rewarding to those who choose to learn more about the comic book's history after viewing the film.

I like how Beaks banned a bunch of talkbackers who are
by MattmanReturns
clearly more dedicated to this site than he is. You guys are still here and where the fuck is he? There have been a lot of disgraces in the sad history of AICN, but that one takes the cake and truly disgusted me... especially since the only reason I really keep coming back here is for talkbacks.
-
I have only ever had one handle at a time. None of my previous identities are on your list. Sorry to piss on your theory. Yeah, I've chalked up thousands of posts. You can keep your medal, though. As for The_Choppah, I know who two of them are, for certain, but I only know them by former handles. They have nothing to do with me at present. I'd out them, like I've always said I would, but it wouldn't exactly be fair to target only the two while the rest of them skate. Yes, The_Choppah is more than one person sharing the same log-in and password. Yes, the Talkbackers who started The_Choppah used to be posters I identified with. Yes, there are several posters who can tell you who they all are. Yes, they think they are making mockery of AICN Talkbacks, while, ironically, they are the most common users of AICN. Speaking of, it might be "gentlemanly" if they all came clean. As for Kobe_Ass_Tastes, he thinks everyone is damned by association. As wrong as he is about details, the whole Choppah bullshit has proven him 100% correct, in principle. That little group became exactly what he has always accused it of being. You know what a continual and constant embarrassment it is, having him, of all, be right? Then again, who cares? I'm off my rocker.

I haven't been able to get this handle banned for 10 years
by MattmanReturns
I've tried and tried. Nothing works. Unfortunately I missed the day when Beaks was on his period and banning every loyal talkbacker in sight.
-
And they have this guy talk like shakespear? They should have hired a top shakespearean actor to do this.
-
So I'm not in this target audience. Not every superhero movie can be a home run.
-
Is this thing on?
-
Remember Brannagh cast Denzel Washington as the lead in Much Ado About Nothing, and Keanu Reeves as his brother. Whether his motives are political or not don't really bother me, since Irdris Elba kicks ass.
-
I assume that Thor has two states, as he did in the comics. In the comics, he was Dr. Donald Blake, human, and Thor, God of Thunder. In the movie, it looks like he has a human state that looks similar to the "god" state, but when he gets the hammer, his full powers flick on. In the lower energy state, he is vulnerable to things like tasers. In the full state, he is the God of Thunder.
-
really? her voice alone is pretty obnoxious let alone her fucked up teeth and muffin top
-
Thats how Gay this Thor is. However... yes she is. I second Choppah for that quote of the day.
-
...Kat Dennings is absolutely hot. You're confusing hot with beautiful. A girl can even be ugly, but still somehow hot. And beautiful and hot are both different from cute. A lot of models are beautiful, but not necessarily hot, or beautiful and hot but not at all cute. I think I'd say Kat Dennings is very hot and very cute...one of my favorite combinations I've given this a lot of thought.

Kat Dennings, Natalie Portman and my ex reside in the happy special place from fight club in my mind

You've got a solid system, but I think the ascending/descending scale is limiting...
by FlickaPoo
...I like the flexibility of being able to calibrate all three levels. With your ranking, how do you assign a model type, who may be very beautiful in a classic sense, but somehow gives off zero heat or cute? For instance, there's no denying that Gwenneth Paltrow was very beautiful in her prime, but I never got any hot off her. Somebody like Gina Gershon can be pretty hot, but not a lot of cute or beautiful there. Besides, saying...hey, baby...your cute and beautiful are flat-lining, but your hot is off the chart...how do you do it, babycakes? is a foolproof pickup line. You should try it next time you're at the clubs.
-
High cute low hot and beautiful = the friend you really like but will never work up any friction with. A lot of things are cute. Puppies are cute, babies are cute...but unlike some website owners we know, most of us don't watch A SERBIAN FILM with our thumbs on the pause button.

Personality is the mysterious and all important fourth factor.
by FlickaPoo
It stands proudly next to hotness, beauty, and cuteness, but it also acts as a force multiplier, resulting in hot x 10, beauty x 10, etc... It's very complicated, I need to work up a power point presentation or something.
-
Two happened on Beaks' watch, though he'll only cop to one of them.

"so I blame DVade for getting me banned and making me return... fuckin DVade..."
by D.Vader
Heeeey what can I say? *does a little victory dance*
-
But i personally find no attraction what-so-ever to Kat Dennings, which i am apparently in the minority about. I, however, rank Ellen Page in my list as one of the most attractive actresses out there today. her, Natalie Portman and Keira Knightly as well as Elizabeth Shue are all my favorites for their own reasons.
-
Feb. 20, 2011, 8:10 p.m. CST
I never had "beautiful" as a level of attractiveness, Flickapoo
by D.Vader
In college my roommate and I discussed the different levels. We had Cute, Hot, and DAMN. Beautiful wasn't in the picture.
-
Yeah I never realized either until this talkback. The things you learn on AICN!* *The talkbacks, not from the editors
-
Lindsay Lohan circa 2004 was too. Then she became a bitchy, self-obsessed, demanding coke-whore with duck-lips.
-
but also seem to be kinda cool, like in my dreams i could actually have a relationship with. this just got very pathetic for me.... you'll be alright, stu_pickles. just hang in there.....

My gf won't let me add Olivia Munn to my "list"* stu_pickles
by D.Vader
Because she thinks Olivia is too realistic a person, that she and I might could possibly ACTUALLY have a relationship together if we ever met. Ain't that a stinker? * You know, that "Do List".
-
Feb. 20, 2011, 8:33 p.m. CST
i feel like it is pointless having a "list" if you dont live in New York or LA
by stu_pickles
doubtful many celebrities rummage through massachusetts very often. although i have seen Zach Snyder and David Strathairn once
-
My gf meant too realistic in the sense that her "personality" on Attack of the Show seemed too real and authentic, and honestly, my gf is afraid I would fall in love with Olivia Munn, and she might like me back since she seems to be one of my people. She's afraid dear Olivia would steal me away.
-
I interned out there in Hollywood and have been planning on moving back, or at least visiting, for the past few years. I try to convince my gf to come with me, but chances are the next time I get out there to see friends, she won't be coming. Thus, the existence of the girls not allowed on "The List".
-
and if you bump into Olivia, i say go for it regardless. you can tell her how shitty that new show she's on is.
-
I'm afraid of being disappointed she left "Attack of the Show" and "The Daily Show" for *that*.
-
Oh trust me, I will =).
-
If you get my drift =).
-
of course i only know them from Community.
-
I don't remember who is currently on the list, but Natalie and Kiera have always been there. Like I said, Lohan WAS back in 2004, but she coked her way off of it years ago. Alba was on there, but then she did a lot of horrible movies and had a kid. Olivia Munn is hot and seems to have a great personality I could mesh with (like Samuel L Jackson said, personality goes a long way). Salma Hayek was on there. As were many other brunettes I'm having a hard time remembering. Beyonce was on there back in 1999-2001. I stopped liking her when she started putting on red lipstick.

it means i presume what you guys are reffering to as 'the list'
by Smack_Teddy
is specifically for those solo adventures - that part of the brain which focuses on or stores such a thing they call they wank bank or wank-bank. Unless theres more to than that, like the happy special place (just). I apologise if there is.

Of course, it's going to be 90% Portman and Dennings jabbering and telling jokes in diners, and 10 percent awesome God on God action, but the trailer still looked cool.
