i would use 4 words for Thor: The Dark World, Fun Fun Fun and Natalie Portman :).
Watched it today. I liked Thor 1, it was a Fun, well executed and acted Origin story with the main lead fitting for the role. Chris Hemsworth is a perfect Thor, just like Hugh Jackman is a perfect Wolverine. Chris has totally taken over the role of Thor and made it his own. When you see him on screen he truly is a believable God of Thunder. And when you see an actor embrace a role like that, you automatically enjoy the movie. I was hoping Marvel would improve more in Thor 2 specially after the Blockbuster The Avengers, and boy, they have . The Action and effects in this one is top notch and as big of a scale as they should be, and Marvel also finally realized that they need to show Thor fly (Thanks to Man of Steel :D), and they have with some awesome sequences. No comparison to Man of Steel of course, but still some really awesome scenes, specially in the end. The Final sequence is literally been fought every where, you'll know what i mean when you see it. Special effects this time around are absolutely fabulous, although i am very much disappointed at the use of 3D. Its not utilized to the extent or in a way that you would feel the 3D, if i had a choice i would have preferred it in 2D. As that makes the Action and effects pop out.
OK aside from the cool action and visuals, i won't go much in to the story line as always, an overview though. After the Bifrost destroyed since part 1, Thor is busy bringing peace to the 9 realms when an ancient weapon, forged by the king of The Dark Elves, long beaten and forgotten by the Asgardians, is activated accidentally by Jane (Natalie Portman) and The Evil King Awakens with his army. From here onwards the story move forward as Thor needs to protect and save Jane and all 9 realms from this powerful weapon and The Dark Elves. And of course what a Thor movie would be without Loki (The Awesome and charismatic Tom Hiddleston), Thor requires Lokis help, in which again i won't go in to details, and we get to see some awesome scenes with both specially when Thor frees Loki, and you will witness an Awesome Awesome and unsuspected scene in a hall when they are talking . What leads to there alliance, is again you need to see for yourself . and the conclusion to that will make you go WOW....For the last Epic battle, this time around the last action sequence is kind of centered in Greenwich, London, you'll know what i mean when you see it and if you guys are following Marvel Agents of Shield TV series, you should watch Episode 8 "The Well" after watching Thor 2, as it starts, where the final battle ends, u'll enjoy more. I loved every single minute of the last sequence, it had some really really great moments and as much as i want to talk about them here, i can't as it would spoil it for you. It had some cool funny moment as well. And i have to say one thing, i just have to. Last year, Man of Steel was criticized for showing too much destruction and collateral damage, every other person who didn't like the movie was talking about it that they didn't like it coz of that. Well, i think those people who criticized MOS for those specific reason, should stay away from this one and hate this as well , as Marvel has shown some massive destruction in London as well as Asgard and they have shown some major collateral damage as well. Lets see how many people make this ridiculous complaint now. Just Enjoy people, Superman is Alien with super powers, Thor is an Alien/God with Super Powers, what good a movie will be if they don't get to show us what they are capable of, at least this time around, Marvel didn't shy away from these things and actually showed it.
Rounding up, i need to mention the Awesome Kat Dennings, every time you see her on screen, she will make you smile if not laugh, she is one funny lady . As good marvel have used Dennings character this time around, they have really miss used Lady Sif, Jamie Alexanders character in this one. Everybody was hoping to see her more in action and Marvel actually promoted it that way as well, but that is not the case, she has almost the same role as in 1.
All in all, Thor: The Dark World is an awesome and fun Sequel, there is not a single dull moment in the movie and any person who loves fantasy, scifi and action movies, will love this one as well. It is a worthy sequel, bigger and definitely much better. The only thing i didn't like about the movie was its 3D presentation and the fact they didn't give Lady Sif more screen time, as i was expecting to see her more in action . Oh well, i can settle for seeing Natalie on screen anytime though lol. Another thing which is itching my brain, thats related to Loki, but since it is directly related to the plot, i can't discuss it here. but i really hope that makes sense in the upcoming Marvelverse.
Go watch Thor: The Dark World in the cinema. Its Fun and Awesome. Highly recommended.
Score 8/10 (it would be 9 for me, but the 3D was disappointing)
