As a comic book film it looks quite good.

Fromk a historical viewpoint. Bah, Hollywood rewrites the text books. Again

I'm slightly mollified that it's apparently based on a comic I dind't know existed, so it's partly hollywood making it all arthurian/tolkein-elf-esque, and partly the original comic. Because there are SO manyt haings wrong with it from a mythology thing that I sat in the office spluttering and growling while watching it.

I'm surprised noone has commented on that!!

The comic book Thor has never really paid much attention to real mythology

Its best just to forget it and sit back and watch him smash stuff

Look...
It's like most books to movies.
Absolutely nothing like the book, but the characters and a couple of events are the same.

To make out in the film that Odin dies an old man in bed... lol.
But then they did bring out the comic years ago.

If you search for the characters, search for the Norns. I beleive in the comic they were three dudes...

Our Gods also feature in Sandman on and off and American Gods - and are very well written indeed!

Yet so many other derivative works manage to get the basics right... Really, is that so much to ask?

I do agree that it is kinda pointless deriving from something if your gonna ignore it.

Im guessing they just wanted some recognisable names :/

American Gods is very much worth a read actually.

by Neil Gaiman.

Has anyone actually not read it?
