Ah, well done, Pádraig, I struggled manfully not to make that joke, secure in the certainty that someone would :-)

A Joke:-

Thor: I’m Thor! I’m Thor!

Thor’s Girlfriend: You’re thor? I’m tho thor I can hardly pith.

Scott, I normally think he is a good director too – he gets tarred with the luvvy brush a lot, but he does know what he’s doing, I think and you’re right, the character is the thing that makes it a good movie as opposed to simple flash-bang-wallop spectacle effects. Maybe its a good sign they look to such directors for this kind of film, perhaps they want to elevate it above just being the dumb effects blockbuster. Must say though, wasn’t overly keen on his Frankenstein – had its moments but never really worked for me.

Jon, yeah, you’re right, we should start a Brian Blessed for Odin FaceBook campaign!!!

Branagh is a great director – his Hamlet is fantastic cinema – and his Frankenstein under-rated.

Action scenes are all very well – and I am sure he will do them fine – but it is the character stuff that makes a movie good or not.

Perhaps, but it will have a great soliloquy scene :-)

Branagh will make it 4 hours too long.
