I am looking forward to this.  I may have been alone, but I really liked THOR (I even bought a THOR wall calendar. Oddly, I am not a comic books fan, nor am I a graphic novel reader, The women are invariably too Barbie-esque but with muscles.  But, I think the format, because of its story board nature lends itself well to the film format.  Having larger than life characters blown up on the big screen may also work for me.  I also really liked HELLBOY which was probably the first film of this type I saw.  

Now, if you watch this clip, they show the creature-like machine attacking a city, and I was surprised by it's resemblance to the creature-type machine attacking in TRANSFORMERS, THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON.

How Did Thor... ? SPOILER ALERT

...Get Back to Earth?

Marvel's The Avengers

My first thought on seeing the first Official  trailer for THE AVENGERS was how did Thor get back to earth after destroying the Bifrost Bridge to save the Frost Giants  and the Rainbow Bridge to defeat Loki in THOR? The Bifrost machine was the way the wormholes were made.

I like the movies coming out of Marvel. The tropes are no less valuable for their simplicity and the comic books promote courage, valor and honor. THE AVENGERS is scheduled for release in May of 2012.
