Quote: Heh heh...take note Hollywood. Visionary demands more boob. Mmmhehemheh.  You are correct though. I bet 10-1 you could design a better Sif costume. Didn't the Destroyer look awesomely awesome though? I don't demand more boob... more like "advise". Really, though, I thought the problem was more with her hair/lack of headdress. Hell, even in her character's movie poster they had her hair loose and framing her face, and for various premieres she wore it back but still interesting. In all of those, she looks a bit more like a "goddess". But in the film itself, she wore it all tightly pulled back into a ponytail like a college sophomore in a hurry. Again, practical fits the idea of a warrior woman, but she should have been given a somewhat more interesting look with her hair if she wasn't going to get a headdress as in the comics. The Destroyer did look awesome. I heard a lot of non-comic fans comparing him to GORT though. And I just saw the remake of "The Day The Earth Stood Still"... Let me tell you, that crappy GORT has nothing on the Destroyer. (Although he did have a glass jaw as Ian mentioned.) Quote: I was so wanting them to "pan to Sif frowning" when Thor finally kissed Jane.Didn't happen. Was bummed. Yeah. It seemed to me that there were some very minor visual cues in there that Sif had a thing for Thor, but nothing that couldn't be easily dismissed. Quote: Yeah, the only thing that would have made it more "oh-my" would have been an appearance by Janet Van-Dyne.We live in hope. I still believe that, since they apparently plan an Ant-man film, they won't cast anyone to portray Hank or Jan until the director of that feature chooses his lead actors. Quote: Quote:Overall, however, I really enjoyed the film myself even if I found it a bit ramshackle in construction. I've read that Branagh sent a letter to the award-winning actress who apparently played the owner of the New Mexico diner, apologizing for her role being cut out of the film completely. I wonder who she is. Looking her up it was Adriana Barraza, a Mexican-born actress who won acclaim for various roles and an Academy Award nomination for "Babel". The fact that her character has a name (Isabel Alvarez... thanks IMDb!) and was played by an Oscar nominee suggests that she would have had at least a solid scene or two that got cut out. | |||||||
