Yea. I see parts that seem good. I'm excited to see Thor on the big screen, but I also have this strong feeling that it's going to be 50% frozen caveman gags, like Natalie Portman teaching him how to do laundry and use the internet and him being really confused and stuff.
Such low hanging fruit right there for the screenwriters.
That's sort of the direction comic book movies have decided to go, and it usually disappoints me. I'd rather them just take Thor and go all the way with it, and only worry about getting him into modern times by The Avengers.
Seems like every "Marvel" movie takes the light-hearted modern approach with a peppy romance, and it doesn't serve every character.
They know what they're doing though, and what sells. Apparently DC does too, since they're apparently taking Green Lantern from Iron Man's entire playbook.
I just don't think Thor should be tackled in the same vein as Iron Man and Spidey. I know there's plenty of Asgard and stuff in there, but ultimately I think it's obvious it's going to be a pretty standard modern-superhero flick. Whatever that ends up meaning.
Hopefully, with Cap America, Joe Johnston is able to deliver on a WWII adventure with a golden age feel. My biggest hope is that it feels like Raiders of the Lost Ark or a perfected Rocketeer.
My biggest worry is that it plays like The Mummy or something, in that it's only
set in the past and doesn't capture it.
I also have concerns of it being anything like the G.I. Joe movie.
