It's Hammer Time

I've been looking forward to seeing "Thor" ever since I saw the hammer at the end of the credits for "Iron Man 2".  I can't believe that I waited a whole week to see it once it was released, but today was the day.  Yay!

• God of Hummina.  My goodness, Chris Hemsworth, what a hunk!
• Great casting of Thor and Loki as kids.  They really did look like younger versions of the adult actors.
• Heh. "Home of the Vikings".
• There is a part of me that can't separate Natalie Portman from the Star Wars movies, so when she was crying, I really thought she was going to say "Anakin".
• Some shots of Tom Hiddleston reminded me of someone I know, right down to the mischievous part.  Not the whole personality, because then I'd be freaking out right about now.
• So did Nick Fury know that Odin started the whole cool eye patch dude thing?  Because Odin's been around a lot longer than Nick Fury.
• I totally love Agent Coulson.  I especially loved the shot of him in the pouring rain, waiting to see if Thor could pick up the hammer.
• BTW, the hammer thing reminded me of the story of King Arthur.
• Loved the little allusions to Stark and his weapons.
• Holy crap, that Destroyer did some damage!  I didn't even see it in 3-D.
• That was an awesome vision, the realm of Asgard.
• The Frost Giant, Laufey, reminded me of Freddy Krueger.
• Nice teaser at the end!  "Well, I guess that's worth a look."

I really enjoyed this movie, a great start to Blockbuster Season.
