Re: [scifinoir2] Hulk vs Thor and Hulk vs Wolverine
Thanks for the reviews. Seems the action's okay, but hampered by being geared for general audiences (or at least, PG-13), and the plotting's lacking. Which is sad, because frankly, the easiest thing in the world to do is depict violence in a film. A teenaged Thor. No thanks, I'll completely pass on that. - Original Message - From: Mr. Worf hellomahog...@gmail.com To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, February 2, 2010 1:11:43 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [scifinoir2] Hulk vs Thor and Hulk vs Wolverine Hulk vs Thor This is two movies on one dvd.

Re: [scifinoir2] Hulk vs Thor and Hulk vs Wolverine
Think of it more as the Thor origins story. It is supposed to explain the relationships and the rift that got started between Thor and Loki.

Re: [scifinoir2] Hulk vs Thor and Hulk vs Wolverine
You mean the teenaged Thor? Naw, not interested. i get tired of everyone taking heroes to their teen years. Just doesn't appeal to me that much. Too gimmicky, too obviously targeted to a certain demographic. I used to hate 'toons like Flinstone Kids and A Pup Named Scooby-Doo for that very reason. Last time I enjoyed a show like that was Baby Looney Toons. :) - Original Message - From: Mr. Worf hellomahog...@gmail.com To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, February 2, 2010 9:37:39 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] Hulk vs Thor and Hulk vs Wolverine Think of it more as the Thor origins story.
