Also spotted the Stan Lee cameo - he was the truck driver trying to get the hammer out of the crater right?
Here's a description of the scene
[spoiler]"In the scene Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) travels to New Mexico to meet with Dr. Selvig (Stellan Skarsgård). He is there to discuss recent discoveries Selvig has made regarding alternate universes. He is also there to get Selvig's advice about a large metal case, which contains the Tesseract/Cosmic Cube. When Selvig asks what it is, Fury responds that it is a source of immense power. The camera than pans back to Selvig, and a reflection reveals that Selvig is now being possessed by Loki (Tom Hiddleston), who says: 'That's very interesting.'"[/spoiler]
And yes that was Stan Lee in the truck.

Enjoyed this film, loved the effects but preferred the scenes on earth in general. Also appreciated the introduction of some humour after an overlong, for me, sequence of events on Asgard. Thought Tom Hiddleston had been botoxed as he kept his facial expression so long!
Same as usual queries about the requirement for 3D, I'm sick of wearing those glasses too.
But still a respectable 7/10
Preferred Cinemas :
Richmond, Kingston, West End, Wimbledon, Shepherds Bush, Clapham, Westfield, Fulham

I'm also fed up of wearing 3D glasses. But at least the film was very enjoyable. 8/10
I just wonder why in every single movie things always occur in the US? [spoiler]It would make more sense for Thor to land in Norway.[/spoiler]

Really enjoyed this a lot, but as many others have said, I didn't think the 3D was that well used apart from in the battle scenes. And I am sick of wearing 3D glasses too ejwrank!
8/10!

I don't mind wearing 3D glasses (these weren't so uncomfortable), but if you're gonna make me look like Tinie Tempah, then can the effects justify it? Please!!!!
I've watched a few 3D films in the last year or so, only Avatar was any good (the film was poor, but the effects were very good), probably because the whole film was CGI.
I'd recommend the film to friends as a Saturday night out when nothing better to do situation, but I'd definitely tell them to watch it in 2D.

I think you meant ucakpam -- for some odd reason I've not complained about wearing the 3D glasses yet ...though come to think of it, I'm not a fan!
Haven't seen Thor yet so have all this in store for me.
