More Avenger-y stuff

Prior to seeing the Avengers, I saw the movie Thor.  I was kind of ambivalent about it (I didn't see it in the theater unlike Captain America, which I loved) so I had pretty low expectations for it.  Going in, I thought it had two things going for it: Anthony Hopkins and that Kenneth Braunagh was directing.  But I have to say, I really liked it.  There were another couple actors that I liked in it like Stellan Skarsgard, Kat Dennings, and Idris Elba.  The costume design was pretty solid, there were so many helmets (including at one point, a golden eye patch for Anthony Hopkins).  But the biggest surprise was how good Tom Hiddleston was as Loki.  I've seen him before in Return to Cranford, but he was kind of a milquetoast so I did not expect him to be able to pull off such a complicated character (and he is just as good in The Avengers movie).  And he is hampered by a super ridiculous helmet.
