6-7 feet.
It was a very pragmatic adaption and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
It knew what to keep and what to lose. I personally never cared for the Donald Blake personality in the comics, Thor doesn't need an alternative identity and it often raised unfortunate questions (if Donald Blake is actually Thor, and they share a soul etc, isn't he cheating on Sif and Jane with each other?). I've honestly prefered the space alien idea in comics, which has unfortunately been underplayed in recents years (though JMS' run is one of the best written).
Good inclusion of Hawkeye and the Warriors three. This Thor can easily fit in with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Idris Elba was great, he turned what could have been an unremarkable character into one of my favourite parts of the film. Regardless on whether or not his skin colour matched the original, his voice and manner was perfect. I definitely believe he could see all of time and space, while possessing un-imaginable power that could rival Odin or Thor. Yet at the same time was funny while still in character when he aided the Warriors Three. The man is definitely a rising a star.

Well, face it. Most video-game based movies ARE bad. And that includes the two Lara Croft movies and the four Resident Evil movies.ArBeater said:
And on the other hand, comic-book movies like Iron Man and The Dark Knight are undeniably awesome.
I'm sure there's a lesson to be learnt here, but in general it's easy to remember that video-game movies < comic-book movies.
Am I the only one that hated the parts of the movie where it kinda went over the top?
I have not read the comic, but it felt a bit too much and Thor unlike.
Such as: emotional scene when he dies, him fighting the guardian with probably the most ridiculous attack ever or him starting to have a relationship with her

Too good to leave off a list of good movies Natalie Portman's been in. Besides it has one fantasy element.SmileyBat said:
I'm kicking myself for not staying at the credits. It was a damn good movie though, one I didn't expect to enjoy but was blown away by. Plus I saw it in 3D, which worked quite well. Yep, excellent.
at the end of the credits...at the little sneak a peek.

Is anyone else here a little perplexed about how Bob describes Natalie Portman's character?
"Refreshingly ordinary, dressed down, plain-Jane astrophysicist."
Repeat
"Refreshingly ordinary, dressed down, plain-Jane astrophysicist."
That's like how they called Ryan Reynolds in the upcoming Green Lantern "an ordinary Joe" despite him having the body of an olympic athlete and being a goddamn jet pilot.
When did jobs like that become plain and ordinary?
On topic: Good review, I'll probably go see this.

Yes but that would bear a striking resemblance to dp showing some originality as a character and....well....y'know. Not his strong suit. I mean c'mon WADE Wilson? Were they even trying to mask the direct lift?Draconalis said:Also, I still think this would have made a much more amusing thor movie.
Anywho I went and saw this last night with a freind and we both thought it rocked! Good times all throughout and the Shield agent really is starting to become a show stealer in these movies. The lab assistant was great too although she hasn't gotten much credit for it (she seemed a lot funnier than whoever princess my but it's cold in the desert was playing)Those of you who didn't like it or thought it was only average? Lemmee ask you real quick. What did you think of Black Swan? Yeah, bingo. This was not an art film there, Ebert. It was a *&^*ing FUN film! Right I forget that's not really your deal. Same boring wannabe critics that thought TRON sucked. *SIGH*
Sometimes I have to remind myself that pretentious, jaded, opinions don't matter and they won't stop Avengers from being made. Sweeeeeeet! God I hate critics, particularly ones who could do no better and in fact have probably nothing (thankfully) to their own "creative" credit. I just happen to think Moviebob is funny, I don't actually care if he thinks I should go see a movie or not.
It was a good movie, I agree with everything Bob said. Great addition to the Marvel series of movies and an excellent set up for Captain America. I believe Captain America may be the best one yet.
