    I dare them to refer to Odin as the creator of man and Borr as the Christian God.

    AICN loves it - http://www.aintitcool.com/node/49322

    Holy shit. They made a very entertaining, engaging and fun THOR film. When Fandral lets out a laugh in the midst of battle – and is smiling… I just loved it. Hogun and his mace. Volstagg eating… Loki making duplicates… Thor swinging that fucking hammer. I’ve seen these things and they did not suck. They ruled. Oh – and Chris Hemsworth? He’s a star. How big? One that Natalie Portman seemed 1000% smitten with in this film.

    Ugh, the goddamned Asylum ... how they've not been shafted on copyright infringement is beyond me.

    As for Thor ... I don't know ... I'm still not all that interested in it, to be honest.

    The reviews suggest a good film!

    Looks like you guys are getting it first. I believe it's May 6th in the States. Two weeks from today.

    Let us know if it's worth seeing in theater!

    I took a closer look at that Almighty Thor poster. Isn't that monster thing in the upper left the smart gremlin from Gremlins 2?

    It's definitely getting some good reviews. Most of them saying it's nothing special, but a really fun movie.


    Whats more surprising is that Fast Five is getting good reviews. Supposedly they've dropped the street racer angle and just turned it into a fun heist action film.

    Have to say I enjoyed it! Some good bits of comic book action, some awesome special effects & Natalie Portman looking rather ravishing! One or two minor gripes but nothing to spoil it, I'll wait till more have seen it before discussing in more depth!

    I'll no doubt end up seeing it now, but I've not been particularly interested in it, I must say.

    Bassman - yeah, there's not all that much of the 'mally boy' street racing angle in Fast Five - it's a balls out actioner.

    Here's what I made of it, FYI:
    http://deadshed.blogspot.com/2011/04...e-musings.html
    Fast Five:
    The original movie was a pretty decent flick. I never bothered with the second or third movies, the fourth movie left me cold when the action wasn't punching, and the fifth ... well, it's actually bloody good fun. Realism is out the window in favour of big cars, big guys, and bigger action. Set in Rio, this fifth instalment brings practically every familiar face from the franchise into one huge spectacular - so characterisation, which was never a big issue in the franchise, is naturally surface-deep pretty much all the way through.

    What does keep the movie bashing along at a bloody good whack though, is the action. Justin Lin clearly knows how to deliver plenty of bang for your buck, and in a movie where everything is ridiculously massive (including franchise newbie Dwayne Johnson who resembles a gun-toting mountain driving around in a glacier-sized uber 4x4) things get crazy in a big bad way. Seemingly inspired in-part by the Rio-set levels in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (a ballsy action extravaganza of a videogame), it's insanity from beginning to end with genuinely spiffing action which makes up for any drawbacks. Big, dumb fun defined.

    For those that have seen Thor and didn't know exactly what they were looking at during the scene after the credits (it was a lot more obscure than, say, Thor's hammer at the end of Iron Man 2), here's the quick rundown.

     
    The object in the box that Nick Fury opened was the Cosmic Cube. In the comics, it's a device first created by the terrorist organization A.I.M., the same organization responsible for the creation of M.O.D.O.K. It holds the power to grant any wish by its user, but there are always consequences that go along with the power. It's been closely associated with a number of villains throughout its history (or "their histories", I suppose, since there have been multiple Cubes), such as Thanos and Dr. Doom. However, the one villain it's most associated with is the Red Skull, the most famous member of Captain America's rogue gallery. So basically the Cube was a tie-in to the upcoming Captain America movie.

    Completely unrelated to it, a while back there was a splinter A.I.M. group who used "DEATH BY SCIENCE!" as their rallying cry. That has nothing to do with the Thor movie, but it cracks me up every time.
