As some of you may know, today was the Thor premiere in Australia. While must of us have to wait till Thor hits the big screen May 6 (Me being one of them), a hand full of lucky journalists were able to make it to the premiere and they've wasted no time showing off their opinions on the web. See what they had to say below.
Out of the many reviews below, only one is mildly negative. It seems like a very good sign to me.A winning blend of thrill and feeling, respect and irreverence, Thor lifts Marvel's movie stocks considerably. “ The Vine
“An enjoyable film, Thor remains solid throughout; seasoned and unknown actors blend well to introduce a new hero to cinema.” Katina Vangoploulos, Cut Print Review [3.5/5]
“Impressive in scale and design and featuring a star making turn from its leading man, Thor is a dazzling example of the superhero movie done right.” Matt’s Movie Reviews [4/5]
“The hammer-hurling god of thunder kicks off this superhero summer with a bang. “ THR
“While “Thor” is not a perfect film, it is the best from Marvel Studios yet.” Jonah Weiland, CBM
“While no fatal missteps are taken along Thor's path to redemption, pic has a slightly choppy feel, as if it's trying to squeeze an origin tale and at least part of its sequel into a single entity.” Variety
“There's a whole lot of the film that I really like, and I can't wait to take both of my sons to see it.” HitFix
“There are quite a few characters in the mix but my reaction throughout much of Thor was apathetic. It’s not a horrible film but it’s one that doesn’t want to take any chances.” The Film Pie
“There's action and otherworldly elements to appease the core fans and possibly even win over some skeptics, and enough humor and humanity to engage general audiences.” Stax, IGN
Well it seems Marvel Studios might just have another success to go with Iron Man, and now fans can only be ten times as excited to see Thor when it hits theaters, and the Avengers when it hits in 2012. Now we can only pray Captain America: The First Avenger is just as (Or more) successful (I sure think so). Our own time to judge will come May 6.
Are you now more excited to see Thor?
