If i not mistaken student prices are always available. Just that the prices for blockbuster films will be higher but still cheaper than the normal adult price.

The effects are simply dazzling. I love the futuristic feel of Asgard, its like meshing mythology and sci-fi together.
Chris Hemsworth is excellent as Thor. From an arrogant *******, to a confused human, then a remorseful son, and finally a true warrior, he couldn't hide his charm throughout the movie, especially when he smiled...
Tom Hiddleston who played Loki is equally impressive too. And I appreciate the way they made Loki a complicated character, instead of a plain one-dimensioned villain seeking for power.

The same, however, cannot be said for other characters. Natalie Portman is there just for the sake of being the chick. Her character, Jane Foster, basically did nothing at all the whole movie besides being consistently concerned about Thor. Same goes to the four Thor's sidekicks. We know virtually nothing about them, except that they are loyal to Thor. I didn't even catch their names in the movie. I hope that the inevitable upcoming sequels can correct this out. At least give us who never read the comic books some backstory about those characters..
Ohh and the action scenes are..kinda..boring...to me. The CGI may be awesome to watch, but the fighting is anything but thrilling. From the beginning where Thor fought the Frost Giants right until the 'climatic' battle between Thor and Loki, I kept hoping for something that would excite me, but I never saw it. The scenes are too short, each time starting with Thor waving his hammer and ending with Thor stop waving his hammer, as nothing seems to stand a chance against the mighty Mjolnir.

Hmm well if you are looking for mindless entertainment, this movie is strongly recommended. It is much better than Clash of The Titans, but still has a long way to go to match Iron Man. Its a typical fun-to-watch yet forgettable Hollywood movie.


P/S This movie is converted to 3D in post-production instead of being filmed in 3D. Which typically means watching in 3D is nothing but a waste of money. Still, would like to hear feedback from people watching in 3D too..

Haha, this forum thread might be useful for you.

Dunno whether the list will keep updating or not though..
FYI, Tron is filmed in 3D, not converted..according to it..

For me I prefer Fast Five...
Simply more thrilling...
