The movie.
(Remember, I came up comic book nerd.)
Eh. Thor was better.
I actually saw Thor again at the drive-in liked it plenty more. Could have to do with being able to smoke, drink and smoke whilst watching. Also the fact that it was not in 3D. Also that there was a real-life thunderstorm going on behind the screen at the time.
(PS: the second movie was Bridesmaids [that's right--two feature films for $8], you could do a lot worse. I'm not saying go and see it, but if the wife/gf demands a chick-flick, steer her in that direction. I have always thought that Wiig was funny/hot [Could be my fixation with SNL chicks.])
The good: Fassbender, you may remember him from Inglourious Basterds, totally elevates the film. Also Kevin Bacon, not bad.
The bad: A whole lot of shit that that made me laugh out loud (never ever typing "lol") in the the theater, specifically not in the way that the filmmakers intended. SPOILER ALERT: certain characters cannot translate from comics into film, like ever. Just accept this and move on.
The fact that it's a prequel. For some fucking reason (mostly because of George fuckface Lucas) they all think that a prequel has to end with a sequence that says. "Hey look, look at how all of this stuff totally dovetails into the stuff that you already know about !!1!" It is so, so fucking trite and unbearably laborious that it ruins it.
Also I had to see this trailer :
Evidently that is a real film. I am still, over 24 hours later, waiting for the ghost of Andy Kaufman or Joaquin Phoenix (or Joaquín Andújar for that matter) to tell me that it isn't. And I say that with as much of a straight face as is possible on the internet. Somebody, anybody tell me that this is NOT real. That may have tainted the entire film for me.
