Thor is wonderful

I've seen it 3x now, contemplating seeing it again tomorrow.

I definitely would love an Asgard only movie. Everyone/thing works save for Miss Portman who has yet to convince me as Jane Foster.

I've felt wonder and awe while watching Thor. I completely believed in the universe so utterly and vastly, these feelings I haven't felt since the first Star Wars and Planet of the Apes.  I was so skeptical when I saw the first images of Asgard and the Asgardians, but my love for Norse Mythology got in the way of Marvel's version. And in the Marvel film universe, this version of Thor is perfect. I like the scientific rationale over the magic here (but if the Doctor Strange movie gets a go, I hope they keep his magic as you can't blow off Stephen Strange's powers with science).

This is in my top 3 for super hero films: Iron Man, Hellboy and Thor. All of these completely took me into the world and characters they described, but the only one I'd want to be a part of is Asgard.

I hope there is a good deal more Asgard footage that will be included on the dvd.

Let there be a Thor sequel with the same crew and cast. I want to see more Mjolnir action and visit more of the nine realms. Verily, I say thee YAY.
