Saw it with my kids (12 and 6) and all of us enjoyed it. Family-friendly and very entertaining, a little hard for the under-8 crowd to follow but nothing really inappropriate. I thought it was about on par with Iron Man II, but not as good as the first Iron Man.

 

Regarding Kat Dennings...I also googled her and while she does indeed have a nice rack, I think she looks like a vampire in most of the pics I found online! (and I'm just not a fan of the vampire look) (shrug)

I always thought she had that "Courtney Love- whacked-on-smack " look in her eyes. So from the bridge of the nose up :P

Everything below that :cloud9:

You try finding a baby sitter for a five month old child, and tell me WHEN you'd be able to go see a movie.

I just came home from seeing the late night showing and must say that I wish I had waited to see it on DVD. I give it a C+.- it was okay, but could've been better.

 

First I thought Portman was the wrong pick for this movie. They should've brought in a "no name" type actress for her part, would've played better.

 

And they should've done more background with Thor and Loki. They started too, showing them as kids, but then that was all. I really wished they had shown how Thor got to use the hammer and Loki developing his jealousy towards him. It would've added a lot to the story.

 

There also weren't that many real surprises. The biggest was the revelation of what Loki really was. I kept predicting what was gonna happen all the way through the movie.

 

The effects were good, but the Asgard city felt fake.

 

The best part was when Thor led his friends against the ice giants in the beginning of the movie. It was cool watching him use the hammer to decimate the giants!

 

All in all it was good and I probably will see it again, but it won't be on my list of favorite superhero movies.

Speaking of superhero movies, I recently rented "Ghost Rider" on DVD. Actually it had been in the Netflix queue for a while, scrolling up the list.

 

There are some fun aspects to the movie, and Ghost Rider looks very cool with his head ablaze, spikes popping out his leather jacket, whipping his fiery chain around, and leaving a trail of flames as he roars his motorcycle down the highway. Also, Eva Mendes is cute and looks nice in a pushup bra, and Peter Fonda is very cool (along with Sam Elliott). It's not directed terribly, and some of the scenes are fun enough.

 

Otherwise, the movie is pretty much total schlock. Nicolas Cage is in hokey Elvis mode and he looks much older than his character seems intended to be. The villains are all kind of dull (we know they're evil because they're all in trenchcoats), with the main villain played by some bland prettyboy type actor who can barely make a sneer convincing.

 

Watch "Thor" and "Ghost Rider" back-to-back and "Thor" looks like a masterpiece in comparison. "Ghost Rider" might be fun to watch on a lark, or have on in the background while playing poker and drinking whiskey with your biker buddies as you talk about your latest elaborate tattoo and your plans to grow your beard so it extends down your chest. But if you have "Ghost Rider" in your Netflix queue and it's working its way up the list, I recommend pushing it down into the 100's and watching something else.

Meanwhile, there are others that actually own this movie on DVD. hm

Saw it for the first time today, and had some Loki questions:

 

 

Loki's motivations: It seemed that at first the plan was to trick Thor into going against Odin, resulting in his banishment and putting Loki in line for the throne. This was then taken a step further when Odin collapsed (Loki had nothing to do with it?), and he plotted with the ice giants to have them come in and murder the comatose Odin to make Loki king.

 

Then it seems he changed the plan, instead choosing to save Odin, and then wipe out the ice giants, so that Odin could see that Loki had what it took to be a king (even though those same qualities were what prevented Thor from being crowned...). It seems the first plan was stronger.

 

But regardless...why was Loki revealed to be an ice giant? Was this something from the comics? Because it really didn't add anything to the plot, and made it unnecessarily complicated. His jealousy with his brother, his desire to prove himself to his father, his magic powers (that he could have used instead of the freeze power) and his secret deal with the ice giants would have all made perfect sense without him being an ice creature.
