Man, Captain America was so much better than this. I'll still get it for completionist sake, but Captain America really blew this outta the water. Can't wait for the release date for that to get announced...

If anything it'll look exactly like this http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51J3Ym5gY... just a repackage of the stuff from Paramount. Same c**p, different box.
Disney is releasing "The Avengers" next year, both theatrically and on home video (as well as "Iron Man 3" the year after). Strange thing is, the official "Avengers" website and poster has the Paramount logo on it.
The best Paramount can do is they'll probably package up all four Marvel films they've released so far when "Captain America" hits DVD, Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D.

I liked this way more than I thought I was going to. Hemsworth owned as Thor as did Hiddleston as Loki. As stated before, this one was going to be tricky to make fit seamlessly into the established Marvel-Verse thus far, but IMO I think they did a darn fine job. I'm not going to say they knocked it out of the park, but I think they came fairly close.

I'd love to see a set, chock full o' features including Iron Man I and II, Thor, Captain America and of course, The Avengers. I know Leterrier's Hulk should be in there as well given the Tony Stark Cameo, but with the actor change from Norton to Ruffalo in The Avengers (Both fine choices but I REALLY wanted to see Norton carry on as Banner) it might make for an odd fit.

Screw them again, I hate Blu-Ray I officially do, why the hell is there "additional" scenes in the Blu-Ray edition but not on the DVD? SCREW THEM I'll just get a bootleg copy of those extra scene HAHAHAHAHA!!! Wanna take money out of my pocket for no good reason I'll do the same to you
Awesome cover art. This film was better then I expected it to be. I enjoyed the new age twist.
Hail to the Hammer!!! Norse Mythology is awesome. In fact, all mythology is awesome. So much better then the Jesus Mythology. Wow tangent.

Loved this film! Thor and X-Men First Class are the best superhero movies this summer. The less said about the Green Lantern film the better...

I rarely use RT as a guidance. I read some critics reviews on Metacritics when GL came up. Some of them said that GL is comparable to Thor in its mediocrity. Even Ebert said that GL is better than Thor. Still, I'm looking forward to rent both of 'em.

I'm loving the Blu-ray and DVD combo cover. Didn't get to see this in theaters, and with a major saga Blu-ray boxset already eating my wallet in September, I will have to wait and see if I could fit this on my very short list of films to blind-buy.
My question is, would this warrant a blind-buy? Pirates 4 is a given since I own the first three, but I don't know if I can justify two-blind buys and that saga in one month o_0

I was hoping for THOR to be just as good as the IRON MAN movies, but I was wrong. No, it's not a terrible movie, but it really wasn't that great. The story was a bit decent, just the CGI, the script, the action, the visuals and the special effects were lame. It could've been a whole lot better and needed a lot more work. I'm going to more likely skip the Blu-Ray and assuming that "Super 8" is on Blu-Ray Combo Pack (which I'm hearing it is), I'll save my dough for that one instead.
Yeah-yuh! First day, blu-ray buy for me. This movie was great! It wasn't as awesome as the first Iron Man movie, but still a pretty enjoyable film. I only had one problem with the movie. The problem is that Jane and Thor fall in love too quickly. I think after a day they've met they start falling for each other. Oh, and one more thing, Kat Dennings should of had more lines. Other than that great film. Inside the castle is gonna look BEAUTIFUL in blu-ray. The cover is amazing as well. Just don't get it in 3-D.
Enjoyable, but forgettable; nothing particularly stuck with me since seeing it two months ago.
Who needs 3D Blu-Ray edition anyway... blah.
I'm getting the regular Blu-Ray+DVD Combo. Can't wait to watch this movie again.

other than it being a 3D bluray...anything special about the "Limited 3D Edition?"
We were expecting it to be a disaster, as it was always going to be Marvel's trickiest one to get right (seeing as the mythological element would clash with the sense of verisimilitude that superhero movies need), but we watched it and enjoyed the thing.

Now that's how you do covers, folks.
Gorgeous.
Love the colours too.

i never expected to like THOR...at all but i did! it was very enjoyable. i totally loved Jaimie Alexander as Sif! she owned!
BTW I do love all the cover arts though
Way better than I expected.
Yeh this kinds sucked IMO. Also the critics mostly loved this, Ebert didnt but he said Lantern is better than this. I don't know, lantern was pretty bad but neither did much for me. Xmen was good and i'm looking forward to captain a whole lot. I don't know but Thor just didnt do it for me. I didn't hate it but found very little to like about it.
I liked Thor quite a bit, but I thought X-Men was better. Really excited for Cap as well
Where do you get your critic information? Thor was pretty well received and Green Lantern was completely trashed.
Thor is a masterpiece next to GL

I had low expectations and ended up having a good time. I ate up everything that took place in Asgard, but the earth stuff was sooo boring. If they left out Kat Dennings and the excessive dutch angles, I would give it more credit.
Oh and Idris Elba was outrageously cool as Heimdall.

Walking into "Thor", I was brought with skepticism but also excitement. Fortunately, I felt more like the latter. This was an entertaining film with some funny one-liners, boasts of action, and a great sense of depth. The script was a bit of a take it or leave it affair, but everything else about the production was just great. My only complaint is that it starts out slow, some of the scenes are cliche, and the film was a bit on the long side. Other than that, solid film 8/10. Will I snag the Blu-ray 3D combo pack? If it hits a decent price.
Can't say I was particularly fond of this one.
