Great cast, good script and a good movie. It quite didn&#8217;t blow me out of the water like I was hoping it would (it suffers very slightly from first movie syndrome, I think) but we all enjoyed it nonetheless. I thought Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston were great as Thor and Loki. I was surprised when the credits came up and Ray Stevenson was listed in the cast as I didn&#8217;t recognise him &#8211; he plays a padded and hirstute Volstagg (though the padding needed to be greater to match the Volstagg of the comics). Visually it looked great but I could have gone for a little more action between the frost giants and Asgardians. Thor spends a lot of time exiled on Earth (which is fine as these sequences are good) but when he has his powers and is in his iconic armour that is when it all comes together for me &#8211; give me more mighty smiting!<\/p>\n<p>The teaser at the end of the movie was thrilling. Samuel L. Jackson totally rocks as Nick Fury and I can&#8217;t wait for the Avengers movie next year &#8211; <a class=\"postlink\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0000168\/\" target=\"_blank\">IMDB<\/a> has him listed as doing a Nick Fury movie as well which would be great.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Quote: &#8220;Is this how you normally dress?&#8221; &#8220;More or less.&#8221; &#8220;It&#8217;s a good look.&#8221; &nbsp; Went to see Thor today with the family.
