I'm actually enjoying Thor. I'm not a huge gamer, and usually only play comic book related games (with Madden and God of War the only exceptions); my docket should be pretty full this year, with Thor, GL, Cap, Arkham and the new Spidey game. Still, I'm not as picky as I know some gamers are, but Thor is a fun way to pass an hour or so, especially with the constant monsoons we've been having. I do agree that movie games usually suck, with Wolverine the biggest exception - it was better than the movie, although I couldn't beat the big bad (I will not call whatever that was "Deadpool") on the nuclear reactor at the end of the game no matter how long I played. Very excited to hear how cool GL will be; can't wait to play. And maybe this gives hope that - with a new movie coming out next year, with Batman and now GL done right as video games - we might finally, finally get a good Superman game.

I was hoping this game was going to be good because when I hear Thor was not I wasn't suprised because I thought it looked terrible.

I'm hoping that Captain America is better and although there's not X-Men: First Class game that X-Men-Destiny is good.

I was sorely disappointed with the Spider-Man:Shattered Dimensions game which showed such promise and had cool graphics so I'm hoping Marvel ups the game after Thor (which I'll likely buy in 6 months once the price comes down on the used versions).

Well this one can't be nearlly as bad as thor was. Worst game of the year so far.

I think Captain America will be te best. But Green Lantern looks good. Wish you could play as John Stewart or Kyle Rayner. or any other lantern then Hal.
