Well I can say this. If you liked the first one, you'll like this one. The only problem I had with this film was the comic relief . Otherwise it was fun and great in IMAX.

I vaguely recalled the plot from the first movie, but like it, I was more impressed with the special effects and settings. The shots of the Asgard capital and the invasion were truly impressive, as the numerous cosmos shots. Plotwise, it was standard stuff, good vs. evil, honesty vs. treachery, blah blah blah.
What saves this sequel is the acting of Tom Middleston, aka Loki, who has more personality than any other actor on screen maybe except for Anthony Hopkins. Here his services are needed to beat the bad guys in a nine sphere (whatever that is) alignment whose vortex just happens to be Greenwich Village in London. Imagine that.
The other saving grace is well placed genuinely funny scenes, some in the middle of chaos that keep things from getting too self righteous. Even Stan Lee gets a funny cameo.
Otherwise, "Thor: The Dark World" doesn't exactly blow minds but for a get away movie that doesn't take itself too seriously, it'll do, especially in a year of a lot of clunkers. Still, I'd rather see "Captain Phillips" again.… Expand

The all time WORST superhero movie would have to be the disastrous Superman: The Man of Steel from earlier this year but, I digress. The creative people who are behind the Marvel Studios films are doing a great job on the Marvel superhero films. I look forward to future installments of Thor and the other Marvel hero films. The key to these types of movies is not to take them too seriously. After all we are dealing with COMIC BOOK characters here not Shakespeare.… Expand

We’re back to the Marvel universe & it’s a somewhat entertaining ride, but a very explainable one. Expositions, facts and action might be its greatest downfall. There’s not that much room for any character-depth – it’s all about the plot and the plot only. But what wouldn’t we all do for a cool and action driven CGI-flick, right!? It’s pretty enjoyable with all these intense things happening at once -- but it sure isn’t perfect. Add rushed romance, convenient & accidental plot-events, a cliché-ish villain and minor plot holes, well it’s definitely not Marvel’s finest. But it’s an enjoyable ride.

The writing inI went in to this movie expecting to find it as mediocre as I found the first one, but I was more than pleasantly surprised. Thor 2 turned out to be fantastic, and one of my favorite Marvel movies of the past few years. The writing in particular is wonderful, and you will be laughing out loud a lot. At first the plot appears to be fairly mundane and uninteresting (the romance between Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) is just downright boring) but as soon as Loki (Tom Hiddleston) enters the picture, it really gets interesting. Honestly, the first half in general is pretty meh aside from the comic relief of Kat Dennings as Darcy Lewis, but everything from Loki's re-entrance onwards is pure gold. I am simply in love with Loki, who provides nonstop one-liners and mind-blowing plot twists for the entirety of the second half of the film. Really, the entire final battle is one of the most legitimately enjoyable things I've seen recently, alternating rapidly between brilliant laugh-worthy moments and fast-paced, extremely well-done action sequences, all culminating in a last-minute twist I guarantee you won't see coming.
To summarize, Thor 2 may start out slow, but has one of the strongest and most enjoyable finishes in Marvel history. I loved it, and Hiddleston's Loki is probably one of the most interesting and entertaining characters I've ever seen. Do yourself a favor and go see it. I promise you won't regret it.… Expand

Once again, excellent work my the Marvel Cinematic Universe. True, it isn't perfect; Thor's love interest isn't given much to do, and the villain is a walking chiche. But the wit and energized mayhem that makes Marvel so entertaining is still there.

The Good: The banter between Thor and Loki was great and Eccleston was an amazing villain. Idris Elba as Heimdall was once again a character that you wanted to see more of. The story itself was merely decent, but the first half of the film was amazing. As expected, excellent action sequences and effects. At times, the humor was well placed and cut the drama a little. Tom Hiddleston once again played Loki to perfection.

The Bad: No matter how hard they try, I just can't bring myself to care about Jane Foster (Natalie Portman). The way they crammed her into the story was ham-fisted and an unbelievable coincidence. I could have done without Kat Dennings completely and Stellan Skarsgard, while interesting in the first film as well as The Avengers, was forced into the film and actually felt out of place. The second half wasn't nearly as interesting as the first. While it was still an enjoyable film, the story wasn't the most creative and I would have liked to see more of some of the secondary characters.… Expand

I think it's fair to say that of all the films Marvel Studios has made so far, 'Thor: The Dark World' is definitely one of the weaker ones, but that doesn't mean it's a bad comic book film like 'Catwoman' (2004).

Chris Hemsworth returns as the mighty God Thor and Anthony Hopkins and Tom Hiddleston return as Odin and Loki respectively. Natalie Portman, Kat Dennings and Stellan Skarsgard also return as Jane, Darcy and Eric.

The film's main villain is Malekith (Christopher Eccleston), who is a fine villain and is portrayed really well, but is ultimately forgettable.

Loki is the reason everyone should watch, his charisma and comic timing is perfect in every way.

The film's action scenes are as spectacular as ever, one can expect from a Marvel movie, but the story is very cluttered and there are too many confusing moments of who the villain is and what they plan to do, the movie jumps around from time to time as well as different fights take place in different locations.

I don't think many people, including fans of the comics, will be satisfied with what director Alan Taylor has crafted, but you will love the production design and overall "Game of Thrones" style that this film contains.… Expand

It has to be hard for the people making these phase two movies to make a movie that works as both a sequel to a previous movie, and as a follow-up to the avengers which is exactly the problem that I had with iron man 3. The Dark World howeverIt has to be hard for the people making these phase two movies to make a movie that works as both a sequel to a previous movie, and as a follow-up to the avengers which is exactly the problem that I had with iron man 3. The Dark World however is a perfect example of how that can be done right with a good story, a cool villain (in my opinion), a lot of jokes (maybe a bit to many) and awesome action scenes. The cast is given a bit more to do this time around especially character like Frigga and Heimdall, but the standout here is obviously Loki. My only complaints are that it's a bit too short and the plot doesn't really get going until about halfway in. Still, this is a great movie and a fantastic addition to the MCU. P.S. Remember to stay after the credits!… Expand

In ancient times, the gods of Asgard fought and won a war against an evil race known as the Dark Elves. The survivors were neutralized, and their ultimate weapon -- the Aether -- was buried in a secret location. Hundreds of years later, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) finds the Aether and becomes its host, forcing Thor (Chris Hemsworth) to bring her to Asgard before Dark Elf Malekith (Christopher Eccleston) captures her and uses the weapon to destroy the Nine Realms -- including Earth.

Thor: The Dark World was an interesting movie for me to watch, because I really enjoyed The Avengers, but I really didn't enjoy Thor at all. I found myself having a headache while watching that first movie, due to all of the dutch angles.

Thankfully, The Dark World delivers on much better levels than the original film did which is rare. This film's story was consistently gripping and I did find myself caring about it. However, at times it can get a bit messy, and in fact there were times when I watched this movie, that I didn't know what the character's were about to do.

The action sequences are very fun, which is what you should come to expect with Marvel movies. It's filled with fun action scenes that are executed fairly. The CGI is also fine, except for some scenes in which it was very obvious that it was CGI.

The Dark World also has a very good sense of humor to it, which actually did make me laugh when there was an emotional draught in the story.

In the end, Thor: The Dark World is a very fun Marvel movie that shouldn't be forgotten too soon.… Expand

The sequel lacks of something for make it so strong as previous chapter. However is well compensed through the action sequences in London and Tom Hiddleston as Loki, the charismatic villian.

Thor: The Dark World. Darkness returns. The sequel was no better than the first part, but a little worse, namely because of the main villain who has practically no specific goal and acts like Evil is Evil.

Thor: The Dark World continues Thor's (Chris Hemsworth) and Loki's (Tom Hiddleston) story excellently from where we left off in Marvel's The Avengers (2012). It is definitely not perfect as it suffers from a villain problem namely that Malekith (Christopher Eccleston) has no other motivation to conquer the 9 realms than just conquering them. Also we have a giant laser beam shooting up into the sky, which is a downside might I add. Loki (Tom Hiddleston) is definitely a plus in this movie, I love his charisma and back and forth banter between Thor (Chris Hemsworth). The CGI also could be better in some places. I love that the movies continue introducing us to the MCU in the way that the Aether (Reality Stone) connects all 9 realms and shows us that there is way more out there. Thor: The Dark World is, I think, worse than Thor (2011) but it is a pretty average entry in the MCU.… Expand

Needless to say, Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston are fantastic in this movie. It is a step up from its rather weary predecessor, with more action and less Dutch angle shots.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a fantasy film, a science fiction/fantasy film with plenty of action present within. It struck me as all but ludicrous, in terms of how melodramatic the plot becomes, whereby the historic, fantastical 'alien' inhabitants make their presence known via modern day London. Usually (in my experience) most such films are either set in the past or in modern day but rarely is there much

At first I wasn't sure what I could comment on this film, as its not the usual sort of thing I'd watch but ill try my best, so here goes. First of all, I was quite impressed by the visual effects - there are lots of colourful lighting style effects, explosions, large swathing alien landscapes and all sorts really. I also quite liked how subtle some of the dialogue was in key parts, between the alien creatures and the more human counterparts. There is quite a lot going on in most scenes and so I imagine this film would keep most viewers suitably entertained for the duration - for the record, it runs for approximately one hour and 50 minutes. The plot is quite complicated and I found myself struggling to follow it but then again I suppose it doesn't necessarily have to entirely important in a film such as this, in that regardless of the ins and outs or minutiate of plot detail, it is still very watchable and intriguing. I liked the depiction of this presumably hidden world - it seemed very imaginative. Some parts reminded me of what little I know of the sci-fi show 'Stargate', with people waiting to be powered up enough to run through a gateway to somewhere else. Meanwhile, other scenes, especially fast paced chase type ones or/and those that show off the alien landscape, made me think of the Star Wars films. I can't say I've seen a lot of any of them but im certainly aware of the basics of them. Otherwise, towards the end of the film, some of the visual effects reminded me of the 90s film 'Independence Day'.

I was intrigued to see Anthony Hopkins appear in this film, as a sort of royal elder type. He does seem quite wise and knowledgeable, I'll give him that. I found it very much interesting and really quite watchable, surprisingly so I suppose, given I'm not especially well known for taking these types of films too seriously but I can happily say that I enjoyed it and found it entertaining.

Anyway, on to the usual blurb and I'd say that this film covers themes including hope, destiny and genocide. It would be wrong not to mention that this film features characters, such as the titled Thor, which originate from the famous Marvel DC comic books. Films based around such characters seem to be more and more commonplace these days - I'd say popular but then I'm not sure if its necessarily fair to say that because more films are made based on such comic books, that automatically means that there's a massive demand for them but I imagine their popular with some people.

I thought that the film seemed surprisingly realistic and the audio was very good - echoes often clearly heard, it felt quite atmospheric. The tensions felt between father and son, some characters and others, were quite well portrayed. Speaking of which, other cast members include Chris Hemsworth, as the main character Thor, Natalie Portman, who plays Jane, Tom Hiddleston, who plays Loki and Christopher Eccleston (who played Doctor Who, some years ago)as Malekith. They all give good performances and seemed suitably genuine in portraying their characters grief, triumpthantism or whatever relevant emotion applies. Idris Elba also appears as Heimdall, if but briefly.

Content wise, there is little strong language, some mild to moderate violence, although nothing too explicit is shown but Thor is depicted as using a large hammer and violence is, obviously, hinted at quite heavily, just not shown in all its potential gore. In general some of the scenes are (as would be expected) quite creepy and thus could be frightening for very young viewers. For the record, this film carries a 12 rating.

I felt there was an intended element of comedy present in this film - yes its a lot to take in, as far as the plot is concerned and so on but I definitely did notice some sharp comments made by certain characters in parts, which made me smirk. One downside, that may bother some potential viewers, was the presence of subtitles in scenes involving certain alien creatures. This was one element that reminded me of the Star Wars films. Subtitles are present in more than one or two scenes, although it must barely take up a quarter of the films durating, if even that.

I found the ending to be quite humorous - there felt, to me, to be an almost parody feel to it - I hope I don't offend fans who perhaps know more about the interconnecting storylines and characters by saying this but the plot did seem pretty bizarre and somewhat laughable by the end. Regardless, I still found it a very watchable film and I felt entertained, so it didn't bother me too much.… Expand

Although it was not as fun and light as the Avengers films, there were still some points that were great. One was how they depicted Asgard - it was plain beautiful. Another was how they wrote the script and the way Asgardian people talked.

I seriously enjoyed 'Thor: The Dark World', with it not only surpassing its predessceor from 2011 but all bar 'Captain America: The First Avenger' in the MCU thus far also. Each to their own, as always, but I found it great.

Loved the score, one of the more memorable ones from the Marvel Cinematic Universe at this point. I also found the pacing to be near perfect, while the humour fits very well. The plot is entertaining.

Chris Hemsworth is great as Thor, while Natalie Portman gives a performance worth noting - unlike in the original. I admit I wasn't overly happy to see Tom Hiddleston appear again, given his character isn't good enough to be in three MCU films, but he is satisfactory here. The rest of the cast are solid, too.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, what can I say?… Expand

Loki gets more character development, further making him one of the best MCU characters. There are some twists in the movie and your expectations are subverted. Malekith is unfortunately a forgetable villain. Just the generic evil bad guy who wants to destroy the world. He's a Dark Elf and wants darkness so that his people can thrive. But I feel like they should have maybe added a scene where we are shown that Dark Elves burn alive when in contact with light or something. Or show him feel sad when his people are killed. Humanize him a little bit. Because he just seems like the typical villain who wants to destroy the world.

Anyway, if you simply want to watch a superhero movie with some nice action, then I think you would like this movie.… Expand
