Thorly Inception
May. 2nd, 2011 09:05 pm Maybe it's my natural reflex when something gets pushed on me with too much excess but I am having trouble staying positive about the upcoming Thor movie. I'm a fan of Chris Hemsworth and I think he looks the part, but I can't help but think he doesn't sound right especially without some "thou" and "art" speech that were once classic trademarks of the character. And some of the fight sequences in the trailers don't feel Thor-like to me. There are also apparently some aspects of the character that aren't being used. I love Kat Dennings but her role looks really annoying in the trailers .. I guess I'll just have to see it next weekend and see for myself.
I finally saw Inception this weekend for the first time this weekend. Now I understand why it did gangbusters in the box office, and I don't know if i expected it not to be great because Christopher Nolan is an AMAZING director. How he continues to create such unique masterpieces is so astounding. I remember being wowed by Memento, then getting wowed by Dark Knight, and now Inception, all in different ways. The complex dream in a dream in a dream into limbo maze might take some people out of the story and was a little confusing at the moment but once you get a chance to examine it, it all fits. And then the ending that leaves it to the viewer's interpretation .. just brilliant. Now the fact that Nolan didn't get a director's nom and the movie didn't win best picture really supports my decision to stop caring about the Oscars.
Saw the movie thanks to Netflix, and now I want to buy the Blu-Ray and watch it in glorious HD along with the special features. Sent the disc back today and hoping to get the next one, Yogi Bear on Wed.
