When I read over the list of the characters in the THOR movie - Thor, Heimdall, Loki, the other Asgard - the faces in my mind were of little grey guys with big almond shaped eyes. I knew at that point that I had been ruined for the movie by my love for Stargate SG-1. No matter who they put in those roles, my heart would reject them out of hand as being impostors. :D
You're so right about the THOR actor. He is handsome enough but something is a bit off. I don't think I'll be racing to the movies to stand in line to see him, Capt. America or even the Green Hornet (although I did love the original TV show). Some superheroes should be left on the pages of their comic books. You have to get them exactly right or they become so very wrong. Superman, Spiderman, Optimus Prime (Transformers) they were lucky enough to get right. I'm not so sure they're going to be that lucky with this year's crop.
