Anyone else think Kate Dennings is even hotter in those glasses?

I'm not a Marvel fan. But, I like a good movie. Thor looks good. Based on the trailers I'll buy a ticket just as I did with Iron Man. I am a DC fan but based on the trailers I won't be buying a ticket to GL. It looks bad, the casting seems off (especially for Carol.).
Thor - yea
GL - nay
Random comment, but did someone nominate Samuel L. Jackson and Natalie Portman to be permanent characters in geek culture movies and shows? You just can't avoid those two.
I dunno, I think Portman is a good actress, but it would almost have been nice to see this movie populated by lesser known actors (well... maybe keep Anthony Hopkins, depending on how he does). I don't know much about Thor, but... the actor's take on him is interesting. I like that ringing, lower tone he delivers his lines with. Very Norse god-ish, there.

I hope so too. I don't like many of DCs characters. Batman is one, and Green Lantern is another... I was hyped when they said they'd be doing a GL film... and then I was very disappointed after seeing the trailer.

Hey, there is no movie that could not be made better with the addition of Samuel L. Jackson.

Dunno about the other stuff, but Sam Jackson is in the Marvel films because Millar and Hitch specifically patterned the Ultimate Nick Fury on him and then went meta with the redesign by commenting on it.|

Natalie Portman seems out of place in this movie. Head-scratching casting, and even more head-scratching she agreed to do it.

If anything, Natalie Portman seems out of place in that slutty romcom she came out in recently. As far as Thor goes, after this, I'm not too surprised by anything she does. |

As far as her role choices go, let's not forget that she became popular primarily through the terrible Star Wars prequels.
