One of the few occasions when a movie release in India prior to releasing in the US. The movie is a Beast. Go for it guys, you won't be disappointed. I've seen it twice already in 3D, and am planning a 2D viewing now
Special mention - Mark Ruffalo is so much better than Edward Norton and Robert Downey Jr. is a class apart.
That's about all I can say, because no words can describe this movie!
Okay, all hamming aside, it was a good movie and a great start to what could be a good summer of movies. Although, I don't read the comics, so I wasn't sure
The movie was awesome and reviews were right. I saw mine in 3D and I'd say it's worth it. Its a good transfer and isn't eye poppy flash. I'd probably even watch it again.
I probably would, yea. I was never big into comics anyway, but the way Stan Lee handled Norse mythology is horrible. I've always loved Marvel, though. I collected the cards as a kid, loved the cartoons and the Iron Man movies were good but Thor... yuck

I kind of like my superheros to be based on some form of realistic scenario- super technology, science gone wrong, extreme training and dedication...that kind of thing. I'm not a fan of gods and mythology being introduced into a serious world.
Marvel does this a lot, and DC does it too, just not as bad.
For instance, Darkseid is a ripoff of Thanos, but Darkseid has a much more believable and realistic storyline behind him.
The whole Thor and the gods thing doesn't do it for me. Why are Norse gods real and Greek or Roman gods aren't? I guess it's just that I'm not a fan of "mystical power" superheros.

Greek, Roman, Japanese, all the gods are there in Marvel. Heck they even had a comic where Jesus was fighting Zeus. Also I actually prefer that the Avengers and the newer Marvel movies are being true to the comics versus a reboot of a character that leaves behind the rich background of a comic character's past.
Marvel actually has a hierarchy of beings that makes sense.
To sum up, without getting into ridiculous details:
* Multiversal abstracts: At this level you have multi-Eternity, The One Above All, Living Tribunal, etc.
* Universal abstracts: At this level you have Eternity, Death, Oblivion, Infinity etc.
* sub-abstracts: Here you have beings that could be considered abstracts but still have some sense of a normal being. People like Galactus, the Celestials, etc. fall into this tier. For example, in Marvel during one of the visits of the Celestials, all of the Gods of Earth got together to fight the Celestials and still got their asses handed to them. Galactus during his fight with his creation Tyrant literally destroyed entire galaxies as a result of their epic battle.
* Skyfathers: This level has all of the uber-gods and higher ordered beings. Odin, Zeus, and other beings that by themselves could fight off a whole legion of lesser powered gods.
* Top Tier: This category belongs to the like of Thor, the Hulk, and other beings that by themselves could potentially get to the planet-busting level.
Thanos would sit somewhere between Top Tier and Skyfather. In the comics, he fought Odin for a long time and stood his ground, he was on the losing end of the fight but there aren't many people that can go toe to toe with Odin for that long and hold their own.
