The Avengers

It's because he's a fantastic actor. The fact, as I said above, that he can somehow underplay Loki is fantastic. Plus it's clear he is having a ball. I've had a crush since THOR, but it was his few moments in WAR HORSE that solidified it for me - again subtle and interesting. And so compelling.

Also, he's not so bad lookin' himself .

Good news: He's coming back in Thor 2. Count me as a Loki fan as well.

Saw this movie over the weekend and loved it. Great way to kick off the summer flicks.

Smiley - He was captain nichols, the guy who first takes the horse to war. The one who is also the artist and draws the horse.

Ah thanks, Toothpaste. So he tends to play memorable characters I was going to say - the artist/Captain guy in WAR HORSE was pretty hot

And

Just saw it...awesome!

Hawkeye is teh bomb. No way around it. And the acting really was superb, all the way around. I think Hemsworth carries himself just right for Thor. And the Hulk-Thor scenes were priceless, imo.

Also, I have it bad for Agent Maria Hill...

Honestly, I'm not remotely interested in going to a theater to see this movie. I'm just soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tired of movies structured around loud flashy special effects and simplistic plots populated by stereotypes.

You should probably skip this and go see Battleship.

Well, then. I guess I will be seeing Thor 2. I wasn't super impressed with the first movie, but now I'm a bit more, ahem, invested.

Same here. The best parts of Thor were the Loki scenes, which I think is why they're bringing him back. You can't have Thor without Loki, kind of like you can't have Batman without the Joker.

I took my sister to see the Avengers. We kept track of how many times Loki wound up on his back. It was pretty amusing.

One thing The Avengers movie was sadly lacking, however? Shirtless Thor scenes.

Totally! Lacking many shirtless scenes in general . . .

Loved that in the Thor movie (You know, for a crazy homeless person... he's pretty cut) *drool*

We all know that women don't watch movies. I'm not sure women even exist.

Maybe they were worried that we'd totally objectify all that man-candy, er, acting talent.

Like we would!

Ah, you've seen Transformers, then?

You should give the Avengers a chance. It's the first time in decades that I went to the theater to see the same movie twice with the same girl (because she insisted, and I'm the geek). The characters are deeper than many in oscar movies, and the storyboard is among the best I've seen.

Best of all, this superhero movie doesn't take itself as seriously as... say, Batman or even Transformers. They know that they're kind of ridiculous, and they love every moment of it.

When Loki hopped out of the truck I expected him to be hit by another car...

(Thor movie flashback)

After his "battle" with Hulk, I expected Loki to lit a cigarette or something. He had just the expression. If you know what I mean.

As much as I loved Loki, that scene was the highlight of the whole damned movie.

Added a detail. Admit it, you thought the same thing.

As my wizard said over at hard hobbit to break: "Why do they hate the Norse wizard so much?"

I thought it was awsome!!!

I honestly thought it was just okay. I've been looking forward to this movie for a while, especially after adoring the Captain America movie, and I just felt disappointed. I don't know if I just had my expectations too high or what. I found the humour all really forced and like they tried to hard to make an action movie a comedy. I d'know though, I enjoyed it overall though. And yes, so many good looking people in that movie I didn't know what to do with myself.

That must've been a tough lay.

The movie (or better yet, the characters), surprised me.

LOVED it. And I really wasn't expecting to!

Also, I was reading through this thread and laughing. So happy to hear I wasn't the only one secretly crushing on Loki.
