Zor Primus Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Trailer looked much better then those pics...might be giving this one a nod for next summer. Natalie Portman is a plus in any movie... Quote
Twoducks Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Yeah, I agree. Didn't really care for the movie either, after some of the images that were shown, and still think the costumes look......fake/silly (if that makes any sense) But the Trailer does look pretty good and I'm now mildly interested. I admit, I know nothing about Thor so I can't judge accuracy or anything. Chris I agree with Dobber and Mr March; the heavy story elements in the trailer could be a good sign but the costumes break the magic. Imagine Iron-Man 1 but with plasticky spandex They do look better in motion though. Quote
KiriK Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 The trailer was actually decent! i'm kinda interested now Quote
terry the lone wolf Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 The trailer was decent but Asgard was too clean and pristine for my taste. I mean where was the fur and the funky norse armor.They are Vikings not the knights of the table round. All you have to do is watch the movies the Vikings or Hammer's The Viking Queen for a reference. I don't think they paid a lot of attention to Jack Kirby's art. Though the Destroyer stole the show for me. Quote
Roy Focker Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 Might be a fun movie but I think the idea of Thor is stupid. The Marvel Movie Universe is one that is set in our times or the near future. Spiderman, X-men, Hulk and Iron Man are based on quasi science. Super Heroes are either genetic mutants or sat on a radioactive toilet. Thor is Viking from a magical land. When I watched the Iron Man movies it didn't give me a feeling that this is magical world. With Thor it is now. You can still have Thor movie but set in its own Universe. Of course they need the Avengers so we a get a Captain America and Thor Movie. Quote
cool8or Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 I liked very very much the trailer. Magic it's OK for me, In fact I hope to see a Dr. Strange Movie... It would be truly awesome! Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 The new trailer is up...it doesn't look half bad. http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1810026342/video/23447610 -b. Quote
Agent ONE Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 Wow. I will probably see that. Looks totally fun. They made those korny images work Quote
CoryHolmes Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 Indeed. I'm an avowed movie-phobe and even I want to see this. Quote
DarrinG Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 Hmm - looks pretty good. Will see it... Quote
areaseven Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 Have these guys got no shame or what? Almighty Thor - Brought to you by none other than The Asylum. Quote

ae_productions Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Thor is a hard sell for Marvel. Outside of the comic reading fanboys, he's not a household name. So, I had some doubts about this IP. But looks like they are pulling it off. Getting some decent names and talent has helped. My wife even wants to see this one (but not Captain America). Good Ad Campaigns. This is a great TV spot.

Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I dunno about you guys but although that guy is in shape, I always imagined Thor to be more of 80s Arnie proportions. Quote

Of course they need the Avengers so we a get a Captain America and Thor Movie. I'm a Marvel fan, so I'm planning on seeing both Thor and Captain America. Both the trailers looked fine to me. But I kinda see your point. The idea of Thor being both the Norse god and the superhero identity of Donald Blake was kind of cheesy (and I think they did away with it, at least for awhile). I preferred him in the Ultimates, where his powers seemed to be technological and people thought he was loony for claiming to be the God of Thunder and the son of Odin... until it turned out at the end of Ultimates 2 that he really was.

myk Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Oh wow I'm so happy for Richard Greico finally getting work. After his canceled t.v. shows Booker, Marker-I thought he would've offed himself by now... Quote
EXO Posted February 10, 2011 Author Posted February 10, 2011 I'm not commenting on the movie itself but the idea that magic and science can't exist in the same comic book world is inconsequential. In the real world, I think that the further we advance in science the closer we get to a magical way of life. But in comic books we accept things that are scientifically impossible, such as a man from another planet that feeds off the yellow sunlight, thus giving him the power to fly, heat and x-ray vision and supernatural strength. We accept that Spider-Man gets bitten by a radio active spider, not only can swing around buildings but can produce a web powerful enough to support him (biologically or not) and still be biodegradable within minutes of him letting go. These things, within the comic book world is considered science because the back story is rooted that way. The idea of Thor and magic itself can be stretched to believability if you look into the quantum physic's string theory where there is thought that it is possible that there are 10 dimensions within reality. The idea is that the 4 forces of nature can only be mathematically worked out if gravity is stretched across 10 dimensions. Gravity is the weakest of the 4 forces within our reality yet a centripetal force such as the sun or a nucleus can bind it self to something that is seperated by unimaginative distances such as outer planets or protons/electrons. That in itself is magic. Now if you imagine that Valhalla and Asgard exist in one of these planes then you can actually see how Thor can come into play in the Marvel Universe. But the real magic here, I believe, is that the movie will be at best mediocre and everyone else thinks it's gonna rock. Quote

Agent ONE Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Looks pretty good actually. Glad they actually got an in shape guy to play the part. Quote
Sir Galahad® Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Isn't Thor Supposed to Around 6'6" and 640 lbs. hehe Quote
KiriK Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 i like how the god of lightning gets taken down by a simple tazer gun.... wimp:lol: Quote
Grand Admiral Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 i like how the god of lightning gets taken down by a simple tazer gun.... wimp:lol: That's after Odin removes his power and casts him down among the mortals, from what I understand. He also just fell from the sky. Quote
KiriK Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 That's after Odin removes his power and casts him down among the mortals, from what I understand. He also just fell from the sky. still, he passed out... haha.... musta been a helluvah stunner Quote
ae_productions Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) Isn't Thor Supposed to Around 6'6" and 640 lbs. hehe I imagine they had a hard time finding an actor that size. I think this guy looks pretty decent for the part. I have high hopes for this one. Edited February 20, 2011 by ae_productions Quote
taksraven Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 I still think its going to be shite but I will be happy if I am wrong. Quote
Arthurius Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 man, second trailer didnt look as hot as the first trailor Quote
ae_productions Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 man, second trailer didnt look as hot as the first trailor I think they are targeting women in that second trailer. I showed my wife the first trailer and she was like, "meh." I showed her the second trailer and suddenly she's interested! Hmmm... Quote
PetarB Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 I like this new trailer. Quite keen to see this now. And like Agent One I'm glad the hero looks the part. In fact the Australian actor bulked up big time for this particular role - a big commitment to change your body like that, you really have to change your life dramatically, it's not just a 'gimmick'. Remember, this was the same actor who played Jim Kirk's father in Star Trek only a couple of years ago. Christian Bale has some interesting things to say on the subject of altering your body dramatically for your art. Quote
Gaijin Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Hmm..this looks kinda good. I know pretty much jack about comics, but I'm interested in this. Quote
CoryHolmes Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I've enjoyed both trailers quite a bit, but so far my favourite line is from the first one when Thor is laying on the ground after his arrival. "Oh no, this is Earth isn't it?". He says it with the same regard we would when we step in some dog crap and smear it all over our brand-new sneakers Quote
ae_productions Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Hmm..this looks kinda good. I know pretty much jack about comics, but I'm interested in this. So far, from what little we've seen, it looks like they got it pretty close. Of course, except that Thor is suppose to be 6 foot 5. Quote
eugimon Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 yeah... that he's a whole 2 inches short ruins the whole movie for me, DAMN YOU MARVEL!!! Quote
CoryHolmes Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 yeah... that he's a whole 2 inches short ruins the whole movie for me, DAMN YOU MARVEL!!! Kinda reminds me of Agent One's bitching when the first GI JOE images were released, asking us if Snake Eye's vents were wrong or if his hands were too small... Quote
