Thor = sucked, only good part was the credits where they show bad ass views of our galaxy and that was realllyyy tripppyy for my stoned mind.
X-men, they finally made the effects of all the mutants AWESOME and more pronounced and CGI effects for them
You have to be trolling...
Thor was probably one of the best surprises of the year. While I'm not a very big Thor fan, even I recognize how amazingly well done Thor was.
While the CGI could have been better, thor isn't about the CGI so much as it is about the story. I won't go into the specifics, but just that it was brilliantly executed. They needed some of the characters like thor to give off a vibe closer to Lord of the Rings than a modern day super-hero, and he did. By using classicly trained actors and grabbing Kenneth Branagh as a director, they managed to pull it off.
Now, tell me something specific that you think they did bad enough to earn the "it sucks" instead of just "I didn't like it".
Cause they took a HUGE risk doing it the way they did with the audiences they get for superhero movies and they hit the jackpot.
Oh and with x-men:
the story was good. I really liked how it showed the orgins of the doomed friendship between Xavier and Magneto. It felt like it was going a bit too "70's show" at times, but hey, it was the 70's. I also really liked how they explored the characters deeper, they showed that it wasn't just a rivalry or hatred between Magneto and Xavier, it was that they had a close friendship that was always doomed. But, that didn't stop them from trying. Another thing I liked was that they made you feel more for magneto than for Xavier. He seemed like a pain most of the time with his"If mutants can save the world, everyone will love us" compared to Magnetos "This is how it starts". It took both of their opinions on the world to a new level.
