lauradi7dwI went to the 2PM non-3D showing of Thor at the Harvard Square theater. I guess there were about 30 people there, maybe five of us female. By the time all the credits slid past and the bonus scene from next year's The Avengers (nothing to do with Emma Peel) began, I was the only woman left. It started, and then the sound quit. Oaths, rude remarks, etc. The guys complained to the manager and were given free passes, but the sound had been OK up until that point (too loud sometimes, of course) and I went to see the movie, not the vision of the future, so I didn't ask for compensation.
There were parts that I liked, parts that I didn't, and I had a lot of internal confusion about Loki, because I have not read any of the comic books but do know some of the stuff from the Eddas. If I hadn't known beforehand that Kenneth Branagh was the director, I wouldn't have guessed. Nobody from his old-time stable was in the cast except for Patrick Doyle doing the soundtrack. Chris Hemsworth said in an interview that on his first day on set, KB gave him the St Crispin's Day speech and told him to show up the next day, ready to deliver it, as preparation for Thor's somewhat formal speaking style (or maybe to intimidate him). There unfortunately is not a video of that on Youtube.
