I thought it was dumbed down and untrue to the character.
The problem with staying "authentic" to the comic-character is that he's kind of boring. Interesting stuff happening around him, but there's not much of a persona to build a movie around.
Two one-note Marvel characters that I could never get into: Thor and Namor.
I'm glad they're bringing in Natalie Portman to switch hit. I suspect they've drawn all they can (creatively) out of what they've had to work with.
I agree with you re: the comics version of Thor and Namor.
I was never a fan of the Thor books, except for a brief run in the mid-'80s when he lost his immunity to being injured and his body began to slowly break down and he was eventually forced to wear armor to keep himself together.
Namor only became interesting to me when he essentially became a god. Until then, he always came across to me as just a bratty little punk.
Is Portman in the new movie? I thought she'd bowed out after The Dark World.
