Yeah, I just googled it.
I never followed the older comics, but seemed they strayed as well, however this movie kept constant with the old comics, so thats good at least.
Still nice to see norse stuff back in popular media.
pshh yugioh! beat Thor by 5 months!

What's the hammer called again?
Meowmeow!
Just came back from watching it. I liked it. Had some good humor and seemed to be paced well. I couldn't follow some of the action in the beginning but it might have been the 3D's fault? Waited all weekend for today and went when everyone was a work/school. Empty theater ftw~
I didn't have much prior info on Thor other than what I wiki'd before headed out but something I thought of after I left:

Technically (well 616 canoically anyways) speaking, the Destroyer is supposed to be so strong that if it's visor were opened all the way, it would annihilate Earth.
But, in the 616 universe Thor is also strong enough that he could crack the Earth in half if he was fighting at full strength, but Thor's strength is usually toned down heavily, especially if Bendis is writing. In the Thor series that ran in the 90s/early 2000s, there was a whole alternate future storyline that involved Thor literally killing every single hero on the planet by himself, though Wolverine did manage to cut off one of his arms.
And for whoever missed it, JMS = J. Michael Straczynski, the creator of Babylon 5 and writer for Thor when they brought him back into the Marvel Universe a few years ago

I really dislike how Bendis plays down Thor's strengthI mean, come on, it's fucking Thor ! He wields Mjolnir like a fucking boss yo.
Just got back from watching it. Liked the movie, never been too much into the Thor comics but i'm huge into Norse mythos so I had to look up some stuff when I got home since they bend around the mythology here and there.

I don't necessarily want another Thor move, but rather another Asgard movie, as an excuse for more FUCK YEAH, HEIMDALL!
I concur with regards to Heimdall.
ANOTHER!
Yeah Heimdall was one of my favorite things about this movie. I was surprised how much screen time he got. That makes me happy. If he had gotten killed during the movie I'd have raged SO fucking hard.
I still find it funny that they portrayed Heimdall as black when he's know as the whitest god.
