I've seen the trailer probably a dozen times in he theatre and it's a work of art unto itself. The shot of the girl with antlers as the heavy rock kicks in is f***ing fantastic. Stoked for this movie.

Glad to hear that Taika Waitia got to make a film in his style.

Box office projections set at over 100 million next week. Already expected to make around that in foreign markets this week.

Saw it today. I'll say this up front: if you're not down with Marvel humour, you'll definitely want to avoid this like the plague.
That said, it's possibly the most fun I've had watching a Marvel movie. It did feel a little schizophrenic at times trying to balance the trademark Waititi humour with what sometimes threatens to be a dark story, but it's a great watch nonetheless. Cate Blanchett chews scenery as if she'll starve without it, Jeff Goldblum is at his most Jeff Goldblumiest, and Chris Hemsworth is hysterical.

Saw it on the weekend. Really liked it. Laughed at the reference to the Australian movie The Castle. Here is some fun trivia.. but it features a spoiler.. no plot related, one of those little surprises.. only open if you have seen the film. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Anyway near the start Thor returns to Asgard And comes across a stage production of Loki’s death from The Dark World.
Thor is played my Liam Hemsworth Odin is played by Sam Neill
And Loki is played by an uncredited Matt Damon ..... who once played Loki in Kevin Smith’s Dogma well a more biblical version of him.

I don't really have any interest in this movie, but I did look up spoilers on the thing and gotta say there is one big part that I think is just completely dumb. {Spoiler}Specifically Thor losing an eye. He's the new king of Asgard so he gets an eyepatch like Odin, haha, I get it. That's just so on the nose that it's stupid.

My only real gripe with the movie is {Spoiler}the Warriors Three being killed off like no-name punks. Hogun at least gets a short fight scene and a bit of dialogue, but Fandral and Volstagg get - literally - about five seconds of screen time and one line of dialogue between them. I hope they didn't get paid by the hour.

It’s Marvel Humor, but it’s f***ing great Marvel Humor. I absolutely loved this movie. Wouldn’t mind seeing it again like...right now.

It's honestly Thordians of the Galaxy. However you feel about that will be the level you'll enjoy it.
It's a lot of fun.

It's worth noting that that it's tied with Iron Man as having the best RT average (94%). Considering critics were lukewarm over the first Thor, and the second is Marvel's worst-reviewed movie, it's a dramatic step up.

I enjoyed the movie, but I didn't expect the amount of humor and wasn't really diggin that part of it. Some humor is fine but this seemed too much.

Skipped going to the midnight screening, won't be seeing this until cheap Tuesday, but am quite excited for this flick. Definitely more excited for this then Justice League, although already have plans lined up to see that too.

They could have easily swapped the guardians with Thor and crew and it would have worked just as well. With that said , it was a fantastic film. And Im sure this puns been made already , but damn Cate Blanchett looked hella good

Korg is the best part of the movie. Everyone in the cinema died laughing when the Maori accent popped out of his mouth.

There is a lot of humor, but it's also basically as many Jack Kirby and Walt Simonson ideas and designs that they could cram into 2 hours. It was like the tone of the film was as far from Thor as you'd expect, but the heart of it was maybe the most pure to a comic's roots as any movie ever made.
And bah gawd, Cate Blanchett was just the sexiest thing in the world.
