I don't know. I liked the Fantastic Four movies. Granted, the first Hulk movie really did stink.

Actually... I didn't see Fantastic Four, although it looked hokey to me.  How about I replace that example with Ghost Rider?

Saw it last night.  It was good. I have no idea what the thing after the credits is (even after reading the above posts) but I love that Marvel does that.  I also really enjoy the Stan Lee cameos.

Apparently that thing at the end is supposed to be the Cosmic Cube.  In the Marvel Universe, this is a devise that can essentially alter reality (think a modern version of a genie in a lamp).  Loki inadvertantly first brought the Avengers together in the comics, so sounds like they're keeping that aspect, but incorporating the CC as well.  I don't know where it came from, but the cube was tied to a creature called the Super Adaptoid at one point - a creature that could mimic the abilities of anything it saw.  He was one of my favorite baddies as a kid, so I hope this is a sign that they're bringing him into the movie.

More spoilers....









One of the early Cap photos had Red Skull holding a Cosmic Cube, so I expect it to tie together with this and The Avengers.

I saw it and thought it was great.  Much better than I expected it to be.

Saw it, liked it.  Crowd remarkably well behaved but then most were a caricature of a nerdy, comic book reading, toy collecting individual.  The only person talking during the movie was a middle aged woman that almost got the hammer of Thor in the side of her head.

Saw the movie earlier this week.  All in all, it was pretty good.  Thor has to be one of the single most difficult characters to cast because of both the physicality of the character and his mythological background.  How do you cast a norse god?  But I think Chris Hemsworth pulled it off. 

Natalie Portman?  Mmmm.  She's like a fine wine, just getting better with age!

I thought I had a good idea of where the easter egg scene was going, but now I'm not so sure.  I could've sworn that the name of Stellan Skarsgaard's character was the name of a pretty significant Marvel villain (Avengers, FF, Secret Wars, etc).  But the whole CC story might run counter to that.

Nah, "Erik Selvig" doesn't show up anywhere on the Marvel Wiki.  I gotta conclude he's a new character.

Saw Thor Friday night with my friends Joe K and T.J. (Bill and Jesse know them).  Really liked it.  Saw it in 3D IMAX and it looked really crisp and clear. I loved the way they did Asgard.  Looked as good as or better than Coruscant from the SW films.

The plot was decent, and I loved the cameos.  Hemsworth did a great job, IMO, and I still can't get over how huge he got to play that role.  I liked Portman in this film...way better chemistry than between her and Hayden in the SW films.  I thought they kind of wasted Kat Dennings, though.  She's a good actress and it didn't feel like she had much to work with.

I wasn't sure how I was going to like this, was more looking forward to Captain America, but thought Thor really stepped up.  Now I'm hoping CA can follow.

You call your wiener a "middle aged woman?"  That's weird.

Saw it Friday night, but I had to go to 2 different theatres to find a non-3D showing. (Damn I am sick of that crude, sucky 3D crap...just give it up already, please)

Thought it was good, a solid summer movie effort. If you don't overthink it too much, it's a pretty fun ride. I'm not so much of a Thor purist that I was horribly offended by any of the plot changes. I did want to see that winged helmet though.

Thought Loki came off as much more of a sympathetic villain than the mustache twirling arch enemy from the comics. Was actually kind of refreshing to have a villain with some depth.
