Default Thor-anyone seen it yet?

Your thoughts?
I've heard mixed reviews on this:
more complex than other Marvel movies, well-acted, lots of laughs/comedy (great, if true, no thanks!), Point in case-Kat Dennings as the comic relief.
Well, how much comic relief is there?
I don't need to see this if there is the dim-witted one-liners, or the pre-bubescent sexist jokes in this, a bit like the Star Trek movie.
If that's the case, i'll be boycotting this.
Don't need to see this for the comic relief. I'll watch a comedy if i need that.
/rant.
Your reviews would be greatly appreciated.

I'd say you already have your answer. If you want someone else to do the dirty work and then tell you that you'll hate it, then you shouldn't see it, period.

I'm sure it won't be a big loss either.
Just thought i'd ask people who had actually seen it. Always open to persuasion.
My rant was just that. Maybe i have high expectations in movies. Meh, sue me. If i'm proven wrong, well all the better.

And I'm a sicko comic-book freak. While DC has always been my preference, Marvel has shown a talent for making good movies. On the other hand I even liked Hulk, so I really am a sicko. But I'll certainly see Thor, and I'll tell you what I think.

[edit] Just looked, and it isn't out yet.

Thanks Steve. I would appreciate your feedback on this movie, because the story line is awesome.
Edit:
In Cinemas May 6.
Bugger, should have looked before posting.

I think I will wait until it comes out on DvD and then not rent it.

Based on the previews, I am not impressed. But people have a wide interest in movies. I am sure many will enjoy it.

I am sure it will be full of CGI effects and that always sells

Wait, you mean the first Hulk movie, with Eric Bana? Because I rented that out of curiosity (didn't see it in the theater due to bad reviews and word of mouth) and honestly, I couldn't see what it was that made everyone hate it so much.

Saw the Edward Norton reboot in the theater and it was fine in some respects but in others I thought the other film was better. The Hulk in the first version looked more natually a part of the world being shown, by which I mean he fit well within the overall visual style of that film. By contrast the Hulk in the second looked more fake to me because the rest of the movie seemed to be shot in a very naturalistic style and suddenly there's this big CGI thing? Ugh.

I think it was the deliberate comic-book style, with the frames and all. That part annoyed me as well, but I liked it mainly for of the cast. I prefer Jennifer Connely to Liv Tyler, and while I like William Hurt his attempt to channel Sam Elliot didn't work for me. As for Bana and Norton, I liked them both. And I liked both movies.
