I'm fully sold now. The guy playing Thor's not mean on the eyes either.

This looks about 200% better than I thought it was going to.

Saw this in the theater. I think the guy playing Thor seems far too wimpy and not nearly Godly enough, and the hammer is way too small. It looks like he's swinging around a fucking Play Skool toy.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that. That tiny hammer is a joke and when I think of Thor, I think of a guy that is built like a damn tank.

Holy fuck you're right Jeebus..... They should have got TECHNO VIKING TO PLAY THOR!!!!
1. Yeah, the guy's in good shape. But look at his face. He looks like a frightened child, not a fucking god.
2. I don't care about the actual Norse mythos, as that's not the source material for this movie. Afterall, "real" Thor wasn't part of the Avengers. The tiny hammer looks vaguely gay. Second, meet Thor and Ultimate Thor. You'll notice their weapons. While the regular hammer is smaller than the ultimate one, it's still a decent size.
It's particularly worth noting that the costume as well as everything they've done in the movies except for the Spider-Man movies is like the ultimate universe, not the regular universe, so it makes sense they'd go more for that design.

I seriously do not see a difference between the 616 Thor's hammer and the one in the film. This argument is so dumb and I hate you all for making me be in thread where it takes place.

I have to agree with optimist. They could have done a lot worse.

I'll give you that, at least it isn't Michael Cena or Seth Rogen.

Guys did you see the skinny fuck they want to cast as superman?
How am I losing the argument? I said Thor looks unimpressive, because I think it does. Since it's a matter of opinion, it's impossible to win or lose the argument. I only lose this argument if I see the movie, but I have no desire to see some pussy who we're supposed to believe is a god.

I agree with FNJ here, they need to go re-shoot and use Techno Viking instead. That guy looks suitably bad ass enough to be Thor. He looks like he'd kick your ass sooner than look at you.

Yeah dude. The movie actually looks pretty entertaining. I'm probably gonna see it twice to make up for jeeb's negativity.

Asylum is making their own version with Kevin Nash as Odin. I wish Nash was Odin in the real version.
