[darin]

I saw this over the weekend - and i went in with LOW expectations..


I lol'd out loud a LOT. :)

This clip may have some spoilers - but it also showcases how FUNNY the movie is at times :) Also has some Thor's roommate stuff not part of the movie

And Cate Blanchet as Hela? OMG. She. Looks. AMAZING.

Funniest movie I've seen in a long time.

My newly converted, religious zealot son won't watch movies like that anymore... say's they're "EVIL," because they portray "FALSE GODS."

I guess you have to suspend your imagination and ability to decipher between a "STORY" just for entertainments sake, and the "truth." Another point of contention that my son has gone off the deep end with this extreme religious consumption.

[pete311]

It's in the same vein as Deadpool or Ant Man, but definitely amps up the dry humor and it totally works. I never buy movies, but I might buy this one.

I would say rather your son needs to engage and free his imagination rather than oppress it.

I will withhold comment about your new-converted son...

but about the movie - it kinda ruined the mystique of Thor - who by his own admission is NOT an actual deity. "God of Thunder" is really just someone who commands/controls lightning - NOT to be worshiped and all that.

The movie adds current humor/writing and sayings - and to see Thor humbled and his faults and all that....and did I mention Hela? Blanchett's body suit plays very well with her booty :)

[darin]

btw - I got the impression Thor's "hammer" represents the male's idealized penis and his image thereof. Men place their sexual identity in their 'hammer power' and if they didn't/don't have an amazing "Hammer" they are somehow 'less-than'.


Wonder what Freud would think about my impression? :)

​Thinking the same thing (dry humor)...but definitely a different twist for this brand based on the trailer I just viewed ....Son and I will check it out.

(seen Ant-Man a week ago it was fun):laugh:

[SassyLady]

Cate ... "shrug"

Chris ..... "sigh"

If he was a Holy Roller too I'm afraid I'd have to hurt him.
