I saw it just now, it was pretty decent, not super great. To give it an actual rating i'd say 6.5/10 (where as Dark Kight = 9.5/10!)

It was worth the watch though, I saw it in 2D because didn't want the 3D glasses mess today. I've seen others in 3D but just didn't think that needed it.

I agree with you on the 3D-thing. It actually makes the picture worse! Due to these glasses the whole movie is darker? Furthermore this 3D-thing gets way out of hand lately. Btw. I saw Thor in 3D - there wasn't even an option for 2D in my cinema - but it wasn't really necessary in my opinion?

BTW.: I'd actually I'd love having the option for analog cinema again - for me this whole "Digital Cinema" was nothing but increased prices without any benefit - hell I once had to wait 45 minutes cause they had technical problems with this whole digital stuff?

This is one of those movies where the marketing team should be fired. From the previews, I thought it looked absolutely stupid. I like superhero movies so I went to watch it anyway. To my surprise, I thought it was a very solid movie. There were some spots where the special effects were lackluster, but the story and overall feel the movie left me with was quite a positive one. I really enjoyed it.

I really liked this scene...

*Destroyer arrives*

Agent 1 - Is it one of Starks?

Agent 2 - Stark never tells me any thing... :rofl:

OMG that was one of my favorite scenes. Mixing the movies like this is so cool. I don't think I've ever seen movies do this until these Marvel movies. Like in the Captain America trailer where he says Mr. Stark or something like that. That is awesome too! Thor gets 9/10 from me :woot:

I know I'm definitely in the minority on this, but I just watched it and absolutely could not get over how cliched it was.

Character development? Yeah, pretty much not there.

Cheesy lines? Yup, all-around.

Uninteresting action? Pretty much.

Over-use of CGI, just like Green Lantern? Oh goodness, yes.

Tilting the camera at important dialogue moments just to scream to the viewer, "TENSE MOMENT!"? Ugh, yeah.

Shots of supporting characters smiling when something amazing happens? Check.

Supporting characters who are supposed to come across as bad comic relief? Egads, yeah.

Part where hero does something selfless, saves the day, and woman cries over him? That's in there, too.

Telegraphed "bad guy" from the beginning? Definitely. And he's a relative? Oy vey.

It follows the Iron Man plot line -- privileged individual pays for his arrogance, gets humbled a bit, and gains great power and knowledge, blah, blah, blah. The problem is the acting is nothing compared to Iron Man. The character interaction isn't even remotely believable. And the environments... I never say this about a movie, but the sets were freaking atrocious. There were a couple main locations, and everything else looked entirely out of place.

It's upsetting, because, deep down, there's parts of a good movie here. When the movie focuses on

S.H.I.E.L.D. coming in and messing things up, it's a somewhat interesting plot. There's actually meaningful interactions.

But, man... cliched movie out the wazzoo. This is easily the most disappointing movie I've seen all year.

Lots of people I've talked to seem to be split on this one. Some really like it. Some think it meh. Others find it a great film. I personally really enjoyed it but that may be because I liked the comics and am a fan of the norse mythology the character is based on. I will say this for the film...it may not be for the uninitiated.

    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good

      By WaltC · Posted

      What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)

      I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output!

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By WaltC · Posted

      I can barely recall getting web results from a file search... I must've turned it off long ago. 26H2 is Insider's Preview build 26300.8697, which I am running, atm. It is not available for people running the standard commercial builds of Windows--only for the beta test Insider's group. But anyway, as mentioned in the thread, this feature has been around for a long time...
