Apparently this one will only focus on Chris Hemsworth's character, so I'm definitely interested

Hmmm maybe we'll get the real Thor in this one! I kid, I kid. I definitely can see this improving with Frank Darabont directing it.

Frank Darabont is an amazing director. All his Stephen Kind adaptations were spot on. I'd watch this movie.

Darabont should direct a Thor movie...

I liked the Shawshank Redemption as much as the next person but it is not even close to the "best film of all time"

The first movie was so weak it was laughable...

Finally, Thor will be in a fantasy movie.

S/N: I saw Maleficent earlier today, and all I say to myself was, "Jolie is flying more in this movie than Thor has in 3 movies." WTF, Marvel!

I actually liked the first film. It was a little clunky, but it was a good fantasy/adventure in the vein of the 80's films of the genre.

This move, though. What? This might as well be one of those Disney direct-to-videos starring that super funny character everyone liked.
If it looks maybe, we'll see. It's early yet.

The highly beloved pop culture icon. Finally.

Was on about this in a different thread on the subject: the most appealing thing to me about the first one was having this gritty framework to put distinctly disney-esque fairy tale elements into. The best scene to me was the bit where animals came out and looked on as Snow White approaches the spirit of the forest. Realistic fantasy is stuck way too far up its own ass for me, so that blend was super cool to see.

The movie itself was pretty sleepy, but a sequel could've remedied that. Now it just sounds like it'll be Chris Hemsworth stabbing things, or whatever. And hey! Don't get me wrong! I don't mind watching Chris Hemsworth stabbing things. Or, ahem, doing anything, really. But it's still less immediately intriguing to me than getting another crack at the ambitions of the original.

I really enjoyed the first film but have to agree that it could well have had about 20 minutesof exposition excised and been a far pacier film for it.

I think it's a shame Kristen Stewart won't be back as, having see her in Runaways, I recognise how good an actor she can be, but if the material is lacking and the director can't inspire the performances, then she'd do well to walk away. Personally, I hope she takes on some difficult dramatic roles, as she certainly has the chops for it, but she bears the curse of Bella.

Crappy 1st movie. Even dropping the worst part of it (Stewart) isn't going to make a sequel about a boring character any more interesting, regardless of how awesome Hemsworth is as an actor. His character is just boring.

Wow but that was one terrible movie.

The first one was [frick]ing awful. Literally fell asleep more than once before it was over. This and Pacific Rim? Is it just Give a Bad Movie a Sequel Day?

Darabont's wife made him dump Stewart from the film ;)

If it's just about the Huntsman and Darabont is directing, that means there is a reason to get excited. I will definitely go see this, mainly because it sounds like it could be another great addition to the dark fantasy canon depending on how they spin it.

I still can't bring myself to watch the original though...

Kristen Stewart is AWESOME, in Zathura.

"...directed arguably the best film of all time, Shawshank Redemption."

False.
