The mid-movie escape + battle scene was the only part worth watching. "Well done. You just decapitated your grandfather." "Let's steal the biggest, most obvious ship in the universe and escape in that. Flying around the city, smashing into everything in sight so everyone can see us. It's brilliant Thor, it's truly brilliant!" [Thor shoves him out of the ship] "You lied to me. I'm impressed." Super Reviewer Jul 23, 2016 With a clear improvement from the first Thor movie the dark world dosnt disappoint. With way better action and visuals the only thing it lacks is a clear story. Often viewers may get lost in the confusing story and crazy asgardian worlds and terms. I would've scored it higher though at a 73%. Better than Age of Ultron in my opinion. Super Reviewer May 06, 2016 Thor The Dark World was surprisingly really good, there are people out there saying its the weakest MCU film and I honestly disagree completely. Let me explained what I liked/disliked. Positives 1. Chris Hemsworth is again fantastic as Thor! He has proven yet again that he owns this role and I can't imagine another actor helming this role. Tom Hiddleston honestly is just awesome as Loki, I'm not fanboying here he literally kicks ass as this character. The rest of the cast is good too it would take me too long to explain all of them. 2. The visuals; this movie looks nice and stylistically looks better than its predecessor which had annoying dutch angles. Asgard looks breathtaking and the scenes in it are awesome. The action is spectacular, I especially love the scenes where Thor is kicking ass. 3. The feel; one of the things I love about these movies are how different they feel compared to other MCU films. This film reminds me of Lord of the Rings and it does remind me of Man of Steel too especially the scenes in Asgard are reminiscent of Krypton. Negatives 1. The humor I did like in this film but at times it does get a little silly especially the scene where Ian crushes the elves with a car and then him and Darcy make out and teleport, I thought that was kind of ridiculous. 2. Jane Foster didn't really have much to do in this film I felt. She was in Asgard and didn't seem too surprised, she gave a tennis ball type look. And throughout the film she again didn't have much to do. Except for the finale but that was pretty much it. 3. The villain is weak as usual with most MCU villains. There is nothing interesting about his character other than he is a menacing a-hole, which honestly isn't enough. Overall Thor The Dark World I found to be a really good experience. I like the different feel to it along with the first movie and I actually do prefer this over its predecessor. Super Reviewer Mar 29, 2016 Is this a huge stepup from the original "Thor" movie. No, unfortunately not. Is it another watchable, fun superhero movie; yes, definitely. It's a really good movie and if we look at the way Alan Taylor directs this movie, it's actually not that much different from what Branagh did back in 2011. Chris Hemsworth is good as usual and Tom Hiddleston is more wonderful than ever as Loki, but the villain Malekith, played by Christopher Eccleston, unfortunately, is a bit of a disappointment, mostly because of the lack of motivation.

Super Reviewer Apr 27, 2016 Thor was a really solid film, I had a good time watching it and it was quite a bit of fun. But there are some shortcomings with it. Positives 1. Characters; Chris Hemsworth was awesome as Thor! He had this charisma about his character, appropriate timed humor and I honestly felt for his character during serious moments. Tom Hiddleston was great as Loki and so also Anthony Hopkins was fantastic as Odin! Natalie Portman was fine I wouldn't say she stole the show but for what she had to be for this film she worked. Everyone else was fine as well. The humor was very good especially the scene where Thor breaks the coffee mug. The dramatic scenes are very investing as well. 2. Visuals; this movie looks nice especially the scenes at Asgard which are stunning. The special effects are good and the make up surprisingly was awesome on the Ice Giants. 3. What I admired was how different this film felt compared to all the other MCU films we've gotten. This film felt a lot like Lord of the Rings and it just felt different and unique compared to all the other Marvel titles. Negatives 1. The tone inconsistencies; the film sometimes doesn't know what it wants to be, the humor and serious aspects sometimes don't blend in well and it does make the overall tone feel wonky. 2. Wasn't a fan of the dutch angles, I felt they didn't add anything to the film stylistically and they were just unnecessary. They got kind of annoying at times and distracting. Its not a major flaw but it kind of bugged me. Overall Thor is a very solid entry to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is not a perfect movie of course but it was quite a bit of fun, it had good action, some well timed humor and a interesting story. This film is technically a comic book film but honestly I think regular audiences will also enjoy this film as well as fans of epics. Super Reviewer Mar 29, 2016 This is a movie that stands very differently with a lot of people, but to me, it is a very entertaining and well-directed film about a God needs to learn what it means to be a man. Kenneth Branagh is a visionary and every single shot in this movie is beautifully made and you get the feeling that he really put his heart and soul into this. The performances of Chris Hemsworth and Anthony Hopkins are great, but it is Tom Hiddleston's Loki that totally steals the movie. Super Reviewer Mar 26, 2016 Thor is a film that takes risks - and they pay off wonderfully. The movie grounds itself in reality while keeping a mythological and fantasy-esqe tone, and it never loses sight of the humanity within the characters, with elevates this above standard superhero fare. Super Reviewer Welcome to the world of Asgard, where everyone's got 99 problems. Thor is busy drowning his post-breakup blues he left Natalie Portman behind on Earth by saving the people of the Nine Realms from evil pillaging, Loki is a prisoner but still sneering about something, and father/king Odin played by Anthony Hopkins is throwing royal hissy fits every twenty minutes. Something's gotta give, and it does - millennia after first threatening to do so. A still from Thor 2. Agencies In Thor 2 which is the eighth installation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the dark elves of Svartalfheim were the original evil beings who were vanquished by Thor's granddad. Related Articles They possessed the ultimate evil, the aether pronounced eether, a dark red cloud of smoke it doesn't look any more threatening than it sounds. Thor's granddad, in his infinite wisdom, doesn't even bother trying to destroy this ultimate evil smoke, and instead decides to bury it, because as we all know, when dark evil things are buried, no one ever finds them. Flash forward to present time enter Natalie Portman. Portman plays a skittish scientist who is on the verge of discovering the celestial event of 'The Convergence', when the Nine Realms all line up, and time, gravity and space and all that important stuff goes out of wack. Portman, accompanied by her intern Kat Dennings and her intern's intern enters an old house in London looking for proof of this phenomenon. But before she knows what's happening, Portman is sucked into a portal and her blood stream is infected with the aether. Guess 'burying stuff' isn't the security measure everyone seems to think it is. And now, Malekith, the leader of the dark elves of Svartalfheim, is awake after his prolonged hibernation and looking for his aether. Enter Thor to smash his hammer, save his woman and defeat the cloud of smoke. Played by Chris Hemsworth, Thor is a strapping young man with a gravelly voice, stringy blonde hair, blue eyes and angst. About fifteen minutes into the movie, Thor is shirtless as superheroes are wont to be from time to time and I fleetingly understood why a friend had told me that 'Thor 2 is the girl's superhero movie'. Hemsworth is a good looking guy, and though I find the term 'girl's superhero movie' slightly sexist, if there were to be a girl's superhero movie, a shirtless Hemsworth would be in it. But the most interesting character, of course, remains Loki, who really deserves his own movie. Played by Tom Hiddleston, Loki is a wiry bundle of evil and angst. With his slicked-back hair and zingers Loki has the only worthwhile one-liners in the movie, Loki is too much fun to keep locked away as a prisoner. Thor enlists him into helping defeat Malekith, and the brothers' trust issues are on full display for the rest of the movie. Thor isn't the best movie in the franchise, but it isn't the worst either. It lacks the light touch of the first Iron Man, but Hemsworth, as the forthright manly man, has a good screen presence even with his armour on and has a fantastic voice. But Hiddleston's Loki, all malevolence and sibling rivalry, is by far the brightest presence on the screen. The special effects in Thor 2 are like something The Hulk might dream up - smash, bang, crash, cars falling, hammers hammering - there is enough action to keep viewers' mouths slightly open for an hour and 52 minutes. I personally loved how Thor's hammer frantically finds its way back to him even if they're in different realities. Another good hammer point/fish-out-of-water joke Thor enters a London flat and seeing a coat rack, hangs his hammer on a peg. Audiences might find themselves drifting off into the aether as well at times during some of the battle scenes I spent ten minutes debating cheese versus regular popcorn during a key sequence, but it's an enjoyable watch all the same - just the sight of a 62-year-old Stellan Skarsgård running naked around Stonehenge as a deranged scientist is worth the ticket price.
