Not So Epic

Rating: 7/10 (9 November 2013)

Out of all the heroes, my favorite is Thor simply because I love the dynamic between him and his brother and because its set in Asgard (which is ten times more awesome than Earth). Plus, this movie I was incredibly excited for just for the simple fact that Alan Taylor was directing it, the same director who did the most awesome Game of Thrones episodes.
Now, on to the actual review. Was this the best movie I've ever seen? No. It really wasn't, it had some humor but not as much as Iron Man 3, had some good action but not as great as say, Game of Thrones and Jane Foster was more irritating than in the first movie. The start of the movie greatly mirrored the start of the first movie which began to irritate me already, why copy what was already done and not that great? I loved the chemistry between Thor, Sif and the Warrior's Three and was sorely disappointed that they didn't get shown more. Loki's scenes were incredibly interesting though they once again, like in the first film, didn't emphasize on the relationship. They hinted that Loki was close to Frigga, had learned magic from her but it was nothing really detailed.
Odin was a dick, extremely so. Jane, as I said, was annoying. Thor was good but he could have gone so much farther. His and Loki's scenes were the best out of the whole movie but they were short and ended so abruptly. I wish that this movie would have gone more into the entire relationship of the royal family, to show the bond and the broken pieces instead of just brushing against it. It bothered me the potential and it just wasn't met. Malekith was just not, that great of a villain. He sort of fell flat and that too irritated me because he had the potential for a cool story.
Now don't get me wrong, the movie is fantastic. It really is great, good action, great chemistry, awesome special effects (except at the very end) but there was just the potential formore. So much more. I would have loved it if the Aether had taken over and controlled Jane. Would have loved for a little bit more Thor and Loki, more royal family, more of Sif and the Warrior's Three. Just more. Less elves and Jane, more Asgard. The twist at the end was fantastic but again, I wish that they would have explained like why Loki kept saying sorry when he "died". We can all guess but I would like a for sure answer. Did he mean it or not? What happened to Odin? Obviously Sif and the Warrior's Three didn't suffer that bad of a punishment (after credits scene alert) but why? Loki hates them along with Thor (maybe), so why spare them? AND WHY COULDN'T HE KILL JANE? PLEASE GET RID OF HER!
The after credits scene was awesome, I couldn't help but squeal at such a strong hint at Guardians of the Galaxy. Ah! So exciting.
All in all, good movie just a little disappointing but totally worth seeing especially for the Captain America cameo. Ugh, best part if the whole movie (and it was between Thor and Loki! Imagine that).
