There was a time when the most highly acclaimed actor you could get to star in a movie based on a Marvel comic was Dolph Lundgren*. But now, as both the budgets and the respectability of "comic book movies" have increased, it's become standard practice for Academy Award winners and nominees to appear in them.

Currently, four out of the 20 Oscar nominees in the acting categories will be in a Marvel Comics film in the next two years. Best Actress nominees Natalie Portman and Jennifer Lawrence will appear in "Thor" and "X-Men: First Class" respectively this summer. And Mark Ruffalo and Jeremy Renner, who are both up for Best Supporting Actor, will soon join "The Avengers" for a summer 2012 release. That doesn't even count Christian Bale, who will also soon be suiting up as DC Comics' Batman for a third time in "The Dark Knight Rises."

Take a look at Natalie Portman as the human love interest for the fallen Norse god in the exclusive new trailer for "Thor." Then keep reading to see why these award-worthy actors are choosing to take part in this new batch of big-screen adaptations.

So what drew Portman -- heavily favored to take home the gold for Best Actress -- to "Thor"? According to her, it was the opportunity to work with another Oscar nominated talent, director Kenneth Branagh, who received nods for both starring in and directing 1990's "Henry V." She told SuperHeroHype that the incongruity of the esteemed Shakespearean director doing a comic book film is what first grabbed her attention: "I was just like, 'Kenneth Branagh doing 'Thor' is super-weird. I've gotta do it.'"

Portman also said that she was able to help shape her character in the writing stage, making the role more appealing to her. She plays Jane Foster, a human astrophysicist who befriends Thor (played by Chris Hemsworth) after he is banished from the otherworldly realm called Asgard. She told the Los Angeles Times that the chance to play a woman who is a scientist was also a big draw for her. She said, "I know it sounds silly, but it is those little things that makes girls think it's possible. It doesn't give them a [role] model of 'Oh, I just have to dress cute in movies.'"

Portman is in good company in "Thor." It also stars Academy Award-winner Anthony Hopkins as Odin, the king of Asgard who exiles his son Thor to Earth. Adriana Barraza, a Best Supporting Actress nominee for "Babel" in 2006, also appears in the film.

Portman's fellow Best Actress nominee Jennifer Lawrence is also getting into the superhero business this summer with "X-Men: First Class," the prequel to the original trilogy. In some ways, the "X-Men" movies established the trend of acclaimed actors in comic book films, with noted English thespians Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen in the lead roles and Anna Paquin -- who was only 11 when she won the Oscar for "The Piano -- as the young mutant, Rogue.

Mark Ruffalo and Jeremy Renner might be competing against each other for the Best Supporting Actor award this month, but later this spring they'll be working together on "The Avengers." They'll be joining former Oscar nominees Robert Downey Jr. and Samuel L. Jackson (not to mention four-time Golden Globe nominee Scarlett Johansson) in the movie that brings together Marvel's core team of superheroes. Ruffalo will play the Hulk, and Renner plays the master marksman, Hawkeye.

Of course, it doesn't always work out when actors follow award-winning performances with comic book adaptations. Halle Berry won the Oscar after the first "X-Men," and followed it with two more successful installments. But when she tried to go solo with "Catwoman," it was a critical and financial disaster. After winning for co-writing "Good Will Hunting," Ben Affleck had a string of flops, including when he played Marvel's blind vigilante "Daredevil." Josh Brolin was nominated in 2007 for "Milk," but last year's "Jonah Hex," based on a little-known Western series from DC Comics, was a complete box-office bomb.

Still, with the Oscar-quality talent both in front of and behind the camera, prospects for the upcoming slate of comic book adaptations look much brighter. "Thor" opens on May 6 of this year, with "X-Men: First Class" following on June 3. "The Avengers" is scheduled to open May 4, 2012.

*To be fair to 1989's "The Punisher," it did feature Oscar-winner Louis Gossett Jr.

I am of mixed mind about the glut of superhero cinema right now, and this summer is going to test the patience of the audience with the genre.

In the comments section for my "Transformers" piece yesterday, Vern posted a few times, invoking the image of Pauline Kael trying to write about the current landscape of movies. And it's both very funny and a nice humbling reminder that critics are defined by their overall diet of movies. We are only ever as good as the movies we are given to write about, and when I'm done with all of this in the future, will the sum total of my work be varying opinions about how well people crafted movies that primarily deal with dudes in funny costumes beating the hell out of each other?

The thing is, part of me has been waiting my whole life to see the Marvel characters in particular brought to life on the bigscreen. Now that they're actually doing it, there is a great deal of satisfaction in seeing how they approach each of the characters, and even if I haven't loved all of the films, it's been exciting to watch these things come to fruition. And I am happy to admit that I'm an easy mark for this sort of thing. I have a voracious appetite for pulp, and I'm not sold on the idea that these movies need to be "important". On the other hand, if they're not fun, they don't really have any reason to exist. These films cost a small fortune, especially if you want to make the outrageous seem possible, and that sets up the expectation that they must be bigger and more significant than the average issue of a comic book… even if that's all these films really are.

"Thor" is the latest film from Marvel Studios, and part of this year's double-feature that completes the run-up to next summer's "The Avengers," the biggest gamble the studio's made so far, and one of the biggest gambles from any studio in town. One of the most common complaints about last year's "Iron Man 2" was that it felt like more of a set-up for another movie than a complete story that worked on its own, and that's certainly a danger when you're working your way towards something. "Thor" is also risky for the studio because it is the first moment where they're introducing magic to the Marvel Universe, which has been defined by a sort of pseudo-science so far, impossible but at least pretending to be set in a real world. With "Thor," they're making a pretty major jump, and even after visiting the set and reading the script, I had some big questions about whether or not they'd strike the right tone and find a way to make this feel like part of the world they've been so carefully building.

The answer is a resounding yes to both questions.

Chris Hemsworth, best known to audiences as Kirk's father in that powerful opening scene to "Star Trek," is just as good a fit for the character of Thor as Robert Downey Jr. is for Tony Stark, and that one thing goes a long way to making the film a pleasure to watch. Finding the right way to introduce the character and his mythology is the big task this movie has, and there were some very interesting choices made in deciding how to bring Thor to life. First, they dumped the notion of him changing into a human being, something that was part of the earliest version of the character that Marvel published. Originally, Dr. Donald Blake had no idea he was Thor until a chance encounter with a cane he found in a cave revealed his true nature to himself. In that version of the story, he had been sent to Earth by Odin to learn humility, and living his life as a human being in an infirm body was an important way of guaranteeing that he could not rely on his considerable physical power or his godly powers.

With "Captain America" coming out this summer and focusing on the startling transformation from skinny Steve Rogers to muscle-bound Captain America, Marvel made the wise decision to not deal with a shape-shifting Thor, while still finding a way to do something thematically similar. Instead of an origin story, they've decided to tell the story of the moment when Thor goes from an indifferent impulsive god to a being who has a connection to our world that makes it important to him and who is able to think beyond himself finally. It is his transition from a super-powered being to a full-blown superhero, and in doing so, they've managed to make a movie that doesn't really feel like any of the other Marvel movies, that has its own voice, and that pulls off its various goals with real charm.

The film opens on Earth, or, as Thor calls it, Midgard. Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), her friend Darcy (Kat Dennings), and Professor Andrews (Stellan Skarsgard), Jane's mentor and advisor are looking at a strange energy phenomenon, one that Jane predicts will manifest again over a specific part of the southwestern desert. When it does, they race towards it in their RV, braking only when a figure looms up out of a cloud of dust and debris and they end up hitting him. As Jane runs to help him, she looks around at the miles and miles of desolate landscape and asks, simply, "Where did he come from?"

The next half-hour of the movie backs up to answer that question and introduce us not only to the character of Thor, but to the world he inhabits. For years, I've heard Avi Arad and Kevin Feige refer to "Thor" as "Marvel's answer to 'Lord Of The Rings'," and when they first started developing the film, they were planning something more fantasy-oriented, a film that would take place across the Nine Realms. That was before they started bringing all the properties together in one shared world, though, and at some point, they realized that they needed to use this movie to bring Midgard and Asgard together. The film spends some time establishing the basic rules of Thor's world and introducing Odin Allfather (Anthony Hopkins), the ruler of all the realms, and his sons Thor and Loki (Tom Hiddleston), one of whom will end up sitting on his throne one day. While Hopkins has certainly played variations on this type of figure many times over, he works with an economy here that is appreciated, and both Hemsworth and Hiddleston perfectly fit these roles. They take these big mythic archetypes and make them human and specific, not an easy task.

Thor is close to taking the throne from Odin, and on his coronation day, there is a disturbance that upsets everything. Frost Giants from Jotunheim, one of the Nine Realms, somehow manage to infiltrate Odin's Vault, where weapons gathered from around the universe, each one powerful enough to bring about Ragnarok, have been stored for safe-keeping. There's one that was stolen from the Frost Giants that they want back, and they actually make it all the way to where it's stored before The Destroyer steps out and kills them all. The coronation is interrupted before Thor can be crowned, and Odin, Loki, and Thor investigate, not sure how anyone could have made it into Asgard unobserved. Thor wants to immediately go confront the Frost Giants, and in particular, he wants to kill Laufey, their king, as an example. Odin tries to get him to stand down, but a bitter argument erupts between them, Loki desperate to make peace before things escalate. Too late, though, and Odin realizes that he almost handed over the rule of Asgard to an angry child.

He strips Thor of his powers, banishes him to Midgard, and then invests Mjolnir, Thor's magic hammer, with a magical task. Only once Thor has learned humility and become a person of substance… only once he is worthy… will he be able to reclaim his hammer and all the powers that come with it, setting up a very simple Sword In The Stone scenario which becomes Thor's main focus once he wakes up and realizes he's on Earth. That brings the movie full-circle, back to that opening scene out in the desert, and is a major element in the middle of the film. Based on the trailers and the clips so far, I was worried that the film would be nothing but wacky fish-out-of-water humor about Thor trying to fit into a modern world, but by now, you've seen most of that. It's not the main thrust of the film. Instead, the film keeps cutting between Asgard, where Odin has fallen into the enchanted Odinsleep, leaving Loki on the throne, and Earth, where Thor is having to confront what it means to be a mortal man. Loki, who starts the film as a trusted and loved brother to Thor, reveals his true nature fairly early on to the audience, and he ends up learning some hard truths about his own origins that leave him shaken, things that threaten to destroy Asgard completely.

A few observations about things I really liked in this film: when superpowered beings fight in this film, there is a sense of power and force that we still haven't seen in many of these movies. I've complained often about how disappointing it is when Superman faces off against a human-scaled threat like Lex Luthor because it means we never really see the upper limits of what Superman can do. In this film, there are many fights where every single being onscreen is superpowered, and all of the punches and kicks and throws are full-strength, nothing held back. And while Kenneth Branagh has still never met a dutch angle he didn't love, the action in the film is staged well, and there are some beats and some images that push comic book language on film to places we haven't seen before. In particular, I think everything involving Heimdall (Idris Elba) is spectacular, and I love his Observatory and the way the Bifrost works. It is crazy, but it's also kind of beautiful. I also really like Sif (Jaime Alexander) and the Warriors Three, Thor's compatriots. Volstagg (Ray Stevenson), Fandral (Joshua Dallas), and Hogun (Tadanobu Asano) don't have a ton to do in the film, but they make their time onscreen count. If they do show up in future movies, it will be a welcome return.

Beyond that, Mjolnir is made a credible weapon of choice, something I was curious about beforehand. One of my many issues with "TRON: Legacy" was that the discs are interesting in the context of a disc wars jai alai match, but as hand-to-hand weapons, there are few things stupider than the sight of two people slapping at each other with magic frisbees. They just didn't work, and you could practically feel the fight choreographers give up halfway through the few action scenes they even bothered to stage. Here, there's a lot of different weaponry on display, and it all seems like actual weaponry you would use to actually kill things. Mjolnir is pretty damn handy in a fight, and Hemsworth makes it feel like something he's comfortable using in a number of different ways. In general, he makes his powers feel like something he's comfortable with, a lifelong part of who he is. There's no montage in this film of him trying to learn to fly or tentatively trying out the hammer to see what it can do. He is Thor from the very beginning. His character arc is all about his attitudes towards the world around him, and his eventual acceptance of responsibility for his actions.

In some ways, "Thor" feels like the youngest of the Marvel movies so far, pitched squarely at a kid audience that really doesn't know the character, and that may infuriate some older fans. I've long been afraid, though, of 30 and 40 year old men who demand that each and every movie about thunder gods and radioactive spider-men and vigilantes in batsuits be tailored directly to their appetites. I read comic books as a kid. They were a gateway to pulp storytelling for me, and I was rabid about them. I don't want these movies to be serious, piercing explorations of the human soul. I want superpowers and fights and flying and monsters, and "Thor" absolutely delivers on that level. Branagh finds a nice tone to play with the entire cast, and there is a sense of humor to things that seems fairly low-key and gentle. For me, the most consistent laugh in the film is the way the oh-my-god adorable Kat Dennings keeps mangling the pronunciation of "Mjolnir."

The film is true enough to its comic origins to incorporate ideas like the Rainbow Bridge, one of those things I honestly never thought I'd see anyone do in a live-action movie, and they manage to make it sort of gorgeous. Bo Welch's production design takes some big crazy ideas and figures out a way to make it all seem fairly real. Haris Zambarloukos, the film's cinematographer, shot one of the ugliest professionally-produced movies I've ever seen, the borderline-incompetent "Mamma Mia!", and he worried me more than Branagh walking into the film. His work here is strong, though, and there's a burnished hyper-color quality to the world that works well. Branagh is one of those directors who I think works very well with actors, but who has traditionally displayed a fairly wretched sense of cinema. I still wake up in cold sweats thinking about how badly he mangled the gorgeous script for "Mary Shelly's Frankenstein," and I'll never understand what people see in "Dead Again," even if I live to be a thousand years old. Having said that, I generally liked his work here. I was surprised by how much I liked some of the giant-scale sequences, since I thought those might be the places where he dropped the ball, but there's one chunk of action that takes place on the Frost Giant's home planet that is very effective, and while I'll give second-unit legend Vic Armstrong some of the credit for that, it's a testament to how well Branagh was able to drop into someone else's way of doing things that it all came together as coherently as it did.

Natalie Portman is fine as Jane Foster, but it's not really a role that demands much of her. She is basically the thing that allows Thor to finally see humans as more than these weak little backwards beings, and she's certainly pretty enough to make a god reassess our planet. Dennings is comic relief and little more, but she is as plush and appealing as always, while Skarsgard has a few good scenes and appears to be part of the big plan for what's coming in future films. In general, the material with SHIELD seems to organically hint at the larger Marvel Universe this time without totally overwhelming the main story in the film, and the after-the-credits beat in particular is very effective. I thought the Hawkeye cameo in the film was utterly pointless, though, and especially for audiences who don't know the character already. I would never guess, based on his two minutes of screentime here, that Jeremy Renner's going to play a major role in "The Avengers" next year. He's not just inconsequential, he's useless and distracting. It is fan service, at best, and more than anything, sort of annoying. I also think there's a disconnect between the spectacular real environments built for Asgard and much of the CGI work, which seems to re-use certain shots several times to the point where they almost feel like stock footage. I like the design of Asgard more than I like the way some of it was executed, and it seems odd that Digital Domain and BUF, companies that I think are among the best at environmental work, would make some of the odd mistakes they make here.

Even so, there's a whole lot of the film that I really like, and I can't wait to take both of my sons to see it. Allen's never seen any of the Marvel movies so far, and Toshi's only seen them on home video, and even then, only selected parts of the films. This time out, the playful nature of the film and the broad, primary-colors storytelling seems like a perfect way to finally introduce them to the world. The 3D post-conversion is actually pretty clean and used well, and I think for kids, the immersive quality of it all will really pay off. If "Captain America" is at least as fun as "Thor," then Marvel can rest easy until next summer, because they will have managed to introduce each one of the Avengers successfully. The best thing I can say about this film is that it genuinely made me want to see Hemsworth arguing with Robert Downey Jr., magic versus science, and I can finally imagine the two of them occupying the same world.

"Thor" premieres in Sydney today, and will be opening in several markets before it finally hits theaters across America on May 6.

"THOR is the best Marvel movie yet!"

http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page ... e&id=31910



The super hero universe grows on the silver screen with the upcoming Marvel Studios/Paramount Pictures release of “ Thor,” but in a decidedly non-super hero fashion. Where previous films featuring super powered beings focused almost entirely on the players, the shift in this film takes a bold step towards world building, which helps makes this the best Marvel film release yet.

Director Kenneth Branagh does well with what is essentially a pretty simple origin story – powerful son disappoints father, struggles to learn the lessons his father imparts, yet finally overcomes his own arrogance and over confidence to grow as both a man and hero. We’ve seen this story played out in literature and film numerous times, but Branagh skillfully manages his cast and brings out performances that make the somewhat mechanical storyline feel both new and engaging.

After a short sequence on Earth, the film starts by taking the audience immediately to Asgard, the home world of Thor, played by Chris Hemsworth. We’re given a brief Asgardian history lesson focusing on their deadly war with the Frost Giants of Jotunheim, ruled by Laufey. The story is told by King Odin (Anthony Hopkins) to his two young sons, Thor and Loki, and brings the audience up to speed in quick fashion by telling the tale of an incredible battle between Odin’s forces and the Frost Giants. Great sacrifices are made on both sides, but ultimately the Frost Giants are defeated and what follows is a tense but peaceful period between the two worlds.

Questions have dogged this production from the start of whether or not audiences would accept a super hero film where much of the feature takes place on a fantastic world very unlike Earth. Once your through the back story and brought in to the present day, you’re left wanting to know more about Asgard’s history and are blown away by its majesty. Hopkins’ brings great strength to his role as a wise old leader and helps ground Asgard and makes it relatable for the audience.



The film moves back and forth comfortably between Earth and Asgard. Thor’s ascension to the throne is interrupted when he convinces his friends Sif (Jaimie Alexander) and the Warriors Three – Hogun (Tadanobu Asano), Fandral (Josh Dallas) and Volstagg (Ray Stevenson) – to confront the Frost Giants after they breach Asgardian security in an attempt to steal a powerful weapon. This brings about a second war between Jotunheim and Asgard and for going against his father’s express wishes, Odin banishes his son to Earth. This is a powerful moment between the defiant son and a very disappointed and troubled father. It’s here we see Hopkins shine and he helps rise the performances of all those around him.

When Thor arrives on earth we meet scientist Jane Foster played by Natalie Portman. The chemistry between Portman and Hemsworth is instantly evident, but Marvel smartly chose to not over state the romantic storyline. It’s there, in the background, but never forced and develops naturally. It’s clear this love affair will be explored more either in “The Avengers” or the potential sequel to this film.

Foster is witness to the event that brings Thor to earth, an incredible wormhole which transports our heroes from Heimdall’s Observatory on Asgard through the use of bifrost AKA the Rainbow Bridge. While the design and look of Asgard is awe inspiring, the most impressive design has to be the Observatory and how this jump through space takes place. Idris Alba’s Heimdall is an imposing and powerful figure in the film who watches over this incredible observatory that spins to life with great speed and beauty. Space travel has never looked so cool.



Foster’s research in to these events on Earth is interrupted by SHIELD, that mysterious government agency headed up by Nick Fury. It’s SHIELD’s investigation that allows this film to set up “The Avengers,” giving us a glimpse of characters appearing in that film and setting the table for what’s to come. Agent Phil Coulson, played smartly by Clark Gregg, is at the center of this storyline. While he was seen in “Iron Man” 1 & 2, he plays a much larger role in “Thor” and brings a likeable touch to this clandestine organization.

While Foster tries to better understand who this new being is that magically appeared in her life, Loki’s story is revealed back on Asgard. With Thor out of the picture on Earth and powerless to act, this allows Loki to seize control of the throne through manipulation and trickery. Finding Loki’s ascension impossible to accept, Sif and the Warrior Three journey to Earth in an attempt to find Thor and bring him home. The performance of these actors makes them instantly likeable, but their lack of character development is one of the great missed opportunities of the film. We’re given brief glimpses in to who these players are and what meaning they have in Thor’s life. When we do see them they’re mostly fighting in impressive action sequences by Thor’s side on Jotunheim or back on Earth against the massive Destroyer, but you’re left wanting to know much more about who they are.



Hemsworth plays Thor as a powerful, confident general and he’ll fit well alongside the likes of Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. in the upcoming “The Avengers.” For a young actor who’s never carried a movie of this scale on his own, it’s an impressive performance that plays up the iconic features and power of the character.

While there’s not a weak performance by anyone in “Thor,” the standouts are the two villains played by Hiddleston and Feore. Tom Hiddleston’s Loki is played with great subtlety. While he may appear almost half the size of Hemsworth, at no point do you doubt his power when he goes up against Heimdall or battles his brother in the final action sequence. His deviousness and duplicity make him an instantly memorable villain.

It’s Colm Feore’s role as Laufey that audiences may come away from this film remembering best. Having met Feore on set last May in full make-up, it became apparent that the actor was transformed by the intricately designed costume. Through the magic of digital effects, Feore puts on a good foot or two in height, making him one of the most imposing physical creatures seen on film. Laufey simply shines in a stirring final battle with Loki and Thor.

Seeing the film in 3D was nice, but only half effective. Aside from an outstanding action sequence in New Mexico with the mechanical and quite deadly Destroyer, the 3D is lost on the Earth bound sequences. On the other hand, Asgard is majestic in 3D and special attention should be paid by audiences to these scenes, especially those in Odin’s throne room and anything involving Heimdall’s observatory.



Patrick Doyle’s score at times helps convey the grandeur of Asgard and nicely accentuates the action set pieces, but at times it’s the weak link in the film, playing up the drama with a melodramatic tone that may leave you rolling your eyes occasionally. It’s these moments that remind me of Branagh’s early directing attempt “Dead Again,” a favorite of mine, but ultimately the melodrama that works so effectively in that film doesn’t go over as well in “Thor.”

It’s on Asgard that this film takes on a more “Lord of the Rings” quality and that’s very much a good thing. Where “Iron Man” 1 & 2 felt like traditional super hero films, with “Thor” Marvel is clearly universe building. At no point do you really look at Thor like you do a traditional super hero like Iron Man, Spider-Man or even Batman. This is not to say one is better than the other, but only to illustrate the point that the style of presentation seen in this film is different from what we’ve seen before and helps to expand the brand.

Blink and you may miss references to other events in the Marvel Studios universe or the brief cameos of Stan Lee, J. Michael Straczynski, Walter Simonson and Louise Simonson. Comic fans will absolutely want to stay to the end of the credits for what has to be the best teaser from Marvel Studios.

While “Thor” is not a perfect film, it is the best from Marvel Studios yet. The lessons learned from their previous attempts are evident here, with a strong storyline that doesn’t have any major weaknesses. The film deftly expands the Marvel Universe in film, taking bold steps to set itself apart from the pack, with a great set-up for what may be the ultimate super hero cross over.

”Thor” opens in the US on May 6th.

[therogue]

I wouldn't call this the greatest Marvel film *cough*I prefer Iron Man I*cough* however, a great cast and great director totally sell the over the top ridiculousness. The only problems I have with it is that I couldn't find a 2D showing and to me 3D looks like I'm looking into a maquette at times. Plus things go out of focus at times when lots is happening in a scene.

Still, I had a great time. I laughed, I was engaged, I picked up on some of the easter eggs (hey there Jeremy Renner!) and oh lord, while a small part of myself is still all: why not Alexander Skarsgard *stamps foot* Chris Hemsworth does well in the part and call me shallow but I could look at the man all day (especially shirtless)

[Tawmis]

while a small part of myself is still all: why not Alexander Skarsgard *stamps foot* Chris Hemsworth does well in the part and call me shallow but I could look at the man all day (especially shirtless)

I dunno. I may be completely straight but Chris Hemsworth has a pretty freaking amazing body (from the THOR movie) and over all appearance.


I don't think Alexander Skarsgard would look good all buffed out like Chris Hemsworth does. Just being tall and blond wouldn't cut it as Thor. You need to be tall, blond, buff, and look the part.

[dotkel50]

I've never been a fan of long hair on a man.

I don't know about that but it was just me being silly, Mr Hemsworth has proved himself Can't blame a person for liking to look at Mr Skarsgard

(also, his dad does have a role in the movie, he seems to be showing up in every big thing lately)

Heh - I should dig up some pictures of me when I had long hair so dot can scream at me!
