June 17, 2011 6:56 pm It was Sinestro putting on the yellow ring and costume.


I'd give it a 2 out 5. It wasn't the worst ever but I'd say its at Wolverine levels. I agree that it feels like the stuck two movies together.  The movie went from origin origin origin to suddenly fighting the biggest villain in the known universe in like 30 seconds.  I felt like the skipped a whole section of the film.  Suddenly Paralax was just there and Hal was fighting it alone. I know he's the hero but he trained with Kilowog for all of 3 minutes and suddenly he's just "great"? I find that hard to believe.  Also the scene with the guardians where Hal made his speech was totally unearned and pointless. They just brushed him off and so does Sinestro yet suddenly just as Hal is collapsing Tomar, Kilowog and Sinestro just decide to show up?  After they so causually dismissed his plan? That just doesn't sit right with me. I felt like the producers/writers made a decent origin movie up until the point paralax showed up on earth. It was just too soon for that kind of a battle and a victory.  Also, why would Sinestro think to even put on the yellow ring after the credits when he just watched the emodiment of fear get burned up in the sun? 

Blake lively was my biggest concern going into this. She wasn't as bad as I thought. Though I found it unbelievable that they knew each other as kids.  Wasn't she supposed to be there when Hal watched his Dad blow up?  I think they had to change it to they knew each other as kids and not grew up together because the age disparity is simply too great.

Not horrible but not great. First Class and Thor rise heads and tails above this.  Also that last effect shot of him flying out of Ferris Aircraft was some of the fakest looking shit in the movie. To end with that is horrifying.
 

June 8, 2011 3:26 pm This would be the perfect time to debut Chloe Sullivan as Watchtower in the DCU.

May 28, 2011 8:47 pm This show has been excellent. Really liked this episode and the next one too.

May 7, 2011 5:34 pm Just got back. I really enjoyed it. I thought i was visually stunning. I loved how they made the rainbow bridge look especially. I thought it was very well acted. Overall, it was everything I wanted in a Thor movie. I don't know what they do for a sequel though.  I love seeing these characters come to life and am super excited for Cap and even X-Men (despite the fact that its not in universe). 

May 6, 2011 11:06 pm I agree the hearing scene was great. It seems sudden to introduce this LEgion of Doom concept before the finale.  Makes me really sad this show is ending when it has been soo good these last few years.

March 16, 2011 6:40 am This was an amazing issue. This death of spider-man business better not be the end of the book.

March 15, 2011 5:38 pm These trailers really have been fantastic. Wish I knew what they were saying and the enthusiasm for this movie has really increased again after viewing this.

March 11, 2011 3:40 pm 30 pages of Bru Cap with both Bucky Cap and Steve Cap sounds great. Throw in Samnee and it sounds awesome!

March 7, 2011 6:32 am I've kind of thought this was in the works since they announced he wasn't writing Supergirl after all.  This should be a good thing for Marvel.  It's not unusual for creator owned to continue. I'd be willing to guess Thunder Agents is either a coming to a close preemptively or was agreed to for a set number of issues originally and Marvel is letting him finish out that agreement.
