A good sequel.

Rating: 7/10 (6 May 2014)

THOR: THE DARK WORLD
As sequels go, I was expecting this to be quite bad... but to be honest, I liked it as much as the original movie.
The movie is about Jane Foster. Jane was the love interest in the original movie and she has now been hot with something that has given her a strange power. Thor returns to Earth to protect her from the evil Dark Elves.
This is a very worthy sequel. It was made after the Avengers Assemble, so if you are going to watch these movies in order, then watch the original Thor, then the Avengers Assemble and then this.
The story is really good. I like the way that Jane has got more involved in the fight this time around. Thor takes her up to Asgard to protect her so most of the movie is set up there. As I have stated in the original review, the vision of Asgard is so colourful and beautiful so I was happy that a lot more of the movie was set up there.
As before, the effects were very good and the fighting scenes were great. The action was a lot of fun and kept you glued to the screen.
The main thing I didn't like about this film was how quickly Thor had forgiven Loki for what he had done. Thor needs his help and understand that, but he should never forgive him for destruction and death he has caused in the last 2 movies. It just didn't feel right.
The movie stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins, Tom Hiddleston and Christopher Eccleston. The acting seemed better in this movie than the last one. It was great to see Christopher in this. I have always liked him and thought he did a great job in this.
The make-up looked great too... the creatures looked really creepy and fit in really well into the movie.
This is a good movie and if you enjoyed the original one then you will like this.
