During the Super Bowl they showed a small trailer for Thor, and I disliked it just as much as I disliked the Green Lantern trailer. To be honest, no matter what the reviews I will watch both movies, but to me both movies share the same problem; the hero is too unrealistic to be done with real people.
A little strange, but let me try again with more words. With characters like Superman, the Hulk, and the X-Men, each character's power comes from themselves, and for the most part are very singular. Even though Superman has a bunch of powers, each does one thing. With Thor and GL, they have objects that also have powers, and that doesn't carry over well. I'm getting lost in my own thoughts here, so my point, and question, is why don't movies, especially movies for these kinds of characters, go the Beowulf route, with near photorealistic CGI all the way through? The art style can be more authentically represented, and the CGI moments won't look like CGI moments, because the whole movie will be done that way. Just my two cents.
Oh, and two more cents, I liked Taken a lot, but I thought there was an opportunity for a sequel in that he didn't take down the entire syndicate or whatever you want to call it. I can see the sequel starting off with Liam waking from a nightmare in which he remembers the other girls he saw en route to rescuing his daughter, and then from information his daughter gives him, finds and kills the rest of the scumbags.
Just fyi, child prostitution/trafficking/slavery is still a massive problem, even in "civilized" countries like these United States.
