I've seen it - that's what I was doing last week instead of attending the re-watch! I'm a total sucker for superhero things so I was never going to give this a miss, although I have to admit there were many things that could potentially have gone wrong with it. I mean all superhero things are extraordinary but this one is so far removed from reality that it could have been quite ridiculous. Anyway, I'm rambling. I thought it was fantastic. It looks absolutely amazing, especially the stuff set in Asgard & it moves quite effortlessly between that realm & our more mundane real world. It's funny, epic & believable. The cast are pretty spot on too. Oh & not that you probably care but Chris Hemsworth without a shirt - yum! Those are my thoughts. I hope you enjoy it too. And make sure you stay til the very end of the titles!!!

I really want to see this. Ive heard brilliant things about it despite most people thinking it was going to be a disaster, so I think it is worth a look.

I've heard mixed things about this but I think it is one of those things tou have to see for yourself. I mainly want to see it for the tie in to The Avengers and it surely has to be better than Hulk

I'm watching the late showing of this tonight. All the ealier showings were booked out so we are seeing it at 9.30. Hopefully popcorn and lots of still Fanta will keep me awake

I like superhero stuff normally so I am hoping this will be just as good

I remember when he was in H&A years ago always with his top off And I'm sure the rest of the film is watchable too I was supposed to be seeing it on Saturday but that would mean missing DW and I just wasnt willing

I went to see it my mates (all male) & got teased because I let an audible phwoar escape me! I never say anything about them doing to women!

I watched this last night. I was suprisingly impressed. I'm familiar with the story and I thought it was going to end up seeming really stupid on the screen, and it was in parts, but on the whole it was pretty good. I didnt let out any 'phwoars' though!

If I may be so bold...
Best. Superhero. Movie. Ever.
I thought Iron Man was good, but Thor exceeded all my expectations by a country mile, and I was dying to see it!
Captain america has a lot to live up to.

I watched them filming some of Captain America. They did up the backstreet behind my office to look like 1940's/50's New York a few months ago and were there for a couple of days. They dressed the set amazingly and the stunts and stuff looked really cool. They do a lot of filming around here. We got to watch them filming some of Sherlock (the movie, not the show) a while back too.

Very jealous, Doc! Closest I've ever been to watching filming (outside of my college course) is having the cast/crew of Taggart use the car park of our old office as a filming base for a week.
