There's something about Natalie Portman and these big budget movies that doesn't work. It's like she doesn't show up. She's obviously a very good actress, but I have yet to see her in a big budget movie where I can admire her work, not in the Thor movies or the Star Wars movies. Perhaps the...

Good stuff, Adam. I’ve enjoyed your revisit posts, and thank you for digging up each old thread, instead of dumping them all in the Iron Man (2008) thread like I did last year. I enjoyed Thor a lot. I think it added to the MCU in a lot of positive ways.

I see the Blu-ray has been announced for 9/13 with only 80 minutes of extras. That seems pretty thin, so I assume a more deluxe edition is looming in the future. Nevertheless, I will look forward to this on blu and in 2D, as I feel the 3D in the theater hampered my enjoyment of an otherwise fine...

What does a king or a ruler do on a throne like that? There's no computer terminal, no desk for your papers. Maybe he has an iPad. Ok, seems like if you are king, you can have people do things for you, so why sit around on an isolated chair?

Stuart Townshend has been replaced on the film, according to http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/01/10/stuart-townsend-replaced-_n_417890.html Joshua Dallas will be replacing him as Fandral. Tough break for Townshend, who, according to the article, was also replaced at the last minute by Viggo...

Sounds like a good cast and crew shaping up. I thought Hemsworth was one of the best things in (the excellent) Star Trek film.
