Opinions: As with most of these comic book adaptations, a few things are changed. But in this case most of the changes only enhance the story. Hal Jordan is the essence of humanity, struggling at the place between striving for fearlessness & struggling with the true meaning of courage. The movie is very captivating with no low spots which cause attention spans to waver. The fantastical elements of the story are stunningly portrayed yet very realistic. As adaptations go, it's true to its source material and does very well as a stand-alone movie. I look forward to any sequels that may come from this :)

Opinions: This move was amazing. The display of magic and magical abilities was phenomenal and the story was very touching and done perfectly, even though it could’ve been made redundant as it’s so basic. The only thing that really got me was the ending…because technically, Thor is supposed to be stranded on Earth, not Asgard. Still, I’m sure that the Marvel dream team knows what it’s doing, since they’ve been doing such a fantastic job with all of their stuff so far. The character of Loki and Thor are amazing when played off each other. To be honest, I don’t know that I actually like Thor much without Loki. The actor who plays Loki is incredible. He plays what could be a typical villain in a very understandable light. In fact, I’d dare to say that Loki is the only ‘villain’ thus far that I’m more sympathetic towards than the hero. I really can’t wait to see where they go from this… I just hope there’s more Loki in the future :)
