I kinda remember Thor 1 a little, having watched the rental of it earlier this year.
However to be honest, it wasn't as good as I'd expected. I knew one of the spoilers going in, which was fine cos I didn't know the *whole* spoilers on it, but...
To be honest I don't like Jane much. I mean I don't hate her but I kinda see her as useless. She's suppose to be some kind of super-smart scientist but most of the movie she spent letting everyone else run around her.
She didn't really DO anything until the end battle.
Frankly in my opinion she's only in the movie to make the audience feel included, kinda like a nod to fangirls so they can imagine themselves being swept up by a over-muscled hero.
Frankly I'm starting to be disappointed that they didn't pair Thor with his canon partner Lady Sif. I liked her. Thor might be stronger, but she sure works her butt off in battle. I like that more than someone who just stands on the sidelines for most of a movie. :-p
Actually I pretty much liked everyone else better, from Darcy Lewis (Two Broke Girls! great snark!), to Erik Selvig - Stellan Skarsgård's a riot! even the intern's intern. Just not Jane. *shrug*
Oh and Loki was OK. The scene I was hoping to see wasn't in the movie though, so that was a bit disappointing. I did like his snark though.
Giraffe Verdict: meh. Watch it if you want, but aim for a matinee showing. I guess it's worth renting though when it comes out.
Then again I'm probably biased cos I'd just seen Ender's Game the week prior... and I couldn't help but think, "Dang, EG was so much better than this!"
But hey the supporting cast was funny at least.
