Agreed. It is similar to what happened in Returns. The Plane sequence >>>> island lifting.

No. This is the era for people who have always found joy in realms of imagination, in exploring the human condition through metaphor, for people who ventured outside the box of "conventional adult interests," always knowing there was more to life than Kimye, the Dow Jones and baseball.
I felt both movies had their strengths and weaknesses. For Thor, the time spent in Asgard, and the conversations with Odin and Loki in particular, were just amazing to watch.
Also, seeing Thor in action for the first time blew me away. Not because the action was over the top or anything, but just seeing him on the big screen for the first time was definitely great.
I like Thor better as a character so I must say I enjoyed Thor more. However, from start to finish Superman might be the better movie.
MoS was more visually appealing, better cinematography, better action, more high-octane impacts.
I think it lies in the star himself, Cavil looks like a young Arnold, after graduating with Football scholarship. A fantastic and non-existent but awesome American ideal of an all-American hick family, this farmboy, boyscout, whatever.
Not an emo, not a wannabe hardass, a true working man who is respectful and outgoing and accepting of his place, and selfless. But a total badass, regardless.
