winter night Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Just wondered if anyone has seen this film yet! I went to see it last night and I think It is fantastic. It is based on the Marvel comic series of Thor, but its a great way to get yourself quickly into the mythology of Thor, his father Odin and his brother Loki. I watched it in 3-D and the sets are breathtaking. They show a stark contrast between the mundane life of the people on earth and those living in Asgard, with all the wealth, luxuries and their impeccable manners! Got to admit, it got me all interested in reading up on the mythology of Thor and Odin again. Would be a great way to introduce your kids to the tales too, as this film is really action packed, funny in parts and there is a bit of a romance. Would love to write more on this, but the kids are calling - let me know what you all think if you have seen it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramayr Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Just watched the trailer and it does look good (will wait for it to come on sky movies premier). Have seen another film not that long ago on the telly about a man who was having flashbacks being Thor - then discovers the hammer and turns out he is Thor. Can't remember the name of the flm but I think it was Scandinavian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelticGypsy Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I haven't seen this yet, I will when it comes out in DVD, though. I love mythology and legends, not to mention swords, and action battle scenes. It looks really good, the trailer and such. Regards,Gypsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Elfyd Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I may add that the Thor movie is loosely based on the Marvel Comic (current version thereof) which is loosely based on Stan Lee's idea of the Asatru lore and myth. nothing wrong with the movie, fine entertainment, but let us not lose perspective.

FFF(Frig)Elf Sir Elf, Perhaps you should strike up a new post on this Asatru lore and myth. It sounds facinating. I do believe there are those here, that would benefit from this or add to it. Please consider this a friendly nudge.:thumbsup: Regards,Gypsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Elfyd Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Gypsy Girl, Ohhhh no, what little I pretend to know about Asatru would not get us very far. There are members here who excel in such things, it is to those people that the request should be aimed. MMMSFFFFElf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissBotanicals Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 It looks good however I have heard mixed comments about it, mainly people who say it is just alright. I guess each to their own and I will only know if I see it for myself. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
