Thor vs. Beowulf

I'll give a slight edge to Thor, but I do like both films.

Funny you brought this up since I have always wondered which actor could have played the role in a life-action film, particularly based on the conceptualization of the character done in this film. I really loved the look of Beowulf.

The consensus on this board is that the actor with the closest resemblance to Beowulf is Sean Bean, which I agree with. Unfortunately, as much as I love him, Bean is getting older and doesn't have the physique or stature for this role. Then I see Thor and realize Chris Hemsworth would be great for a film like this if they ever do a live-action version.


There are few things as fetching as a bruised ego on a beautiful angel.

I'm gonna go with Thor: the script could've been better (the story was cliche, the characters turned on Loki way too quickly, and Kat Denning's character was just there for comic relief), but, at the end of the day, it just felt more competent than Beowulf. At least it didn't have a pointless scene with a guy trying to rape his girlfriend like Beowulf did.

I call movies that are considered 'bad' hated movies.

Beowulf gets my vote, atleast it has a story, and not just back drop for the avengers movie.

Beowulf was epic, Thos was boring.

Beowulf hands down.

It has so much subtly and maturity to it whereas Thor devolves into slly wire fu at the end.

Beowulf is a great inversion of a man turning to a hero because Beowulf had wanted nothing but glory but then in the end he just wanted be known as a man to the people he knew.

Thor was just about love making you into a big softy and hate turning you into a psychopath; yawn.

I can't believe it has such a low score because this has to be one of the most mature CGI movies to have ever been made. I suppose the mental age of your typical IMDB voters must be quite low.

I liked Thor, but gonna go with Beowulf here. It has more epic feel andd depth to it IMO.

I like both films, but my vote goes with "Beowulf".

This film over Thor any day. The only thing I liked in Thor was Loki & it's a pretty weak Marvel film Imo too.
