Thor film

^^^ It's not that far from the Ultimate Books.... and Nick Fury is Black.

Most people I know, including myself and other Gaiman fans, really enjoyed Stardust. Perhaps you object to the change in the material, and that's certainly up to you to do so, but at the end of the day the only question that matters for me is "Is the movie any good or not?" -- to which I and many people have responded in the affirmative.

I dug Stardust OK, it was entertaining.

I went with a group of friends that all read and enjoyed Stardust the book. The reactions ranged from mild indifference (me) to actual anger and outrage (oh, sci-fi dorks!). I thought the movie was fine. It was cute and entertaining and had Claire Daines. I just thought that the book lost nearly all of it's charm and depth in it's transformation to a campy Princess Bride "Lite". It wasn't a disaster of the scope of The Golden Compass book to film translation, I just had higher hopes for it.
That being said, my main point is that I can't imagine the Thor mythos being distilled into a film by this particular director without flattening it out into a steaming pile of Fantastic Four dimensions. I may be wrong, and I love to be proved wrong, but comic films seem to need a certain touch to really pull them off well. I just don't think this guy has that touch... especially in light of the bar being raised pretty high by Iron Man...

This sounds great alot like the Ultimates version which I love!

I liked Stardust, though I've never read the book. I thought it was a shame that more people didn't see it last summer.
