Better than the first...

Rating: 8/10 (3 November 2013)

Thor: the dark world is far far far better than the first movie for me... and a greater adaptation than its predecessor.
In the first movie, all i saw was a spoiled, arrogant, barbaric prince from a realm unknown to us earthlings. He did nothing but irritate me and wasted enough of my brain cells and time. :l
But, HEY!!!! in the second movie, oh my! there is substance in every speech that the characters give. My! My! Also, Thor is not a spoiled barbaric prince anymore. He uses his mind this time. There's also more depth between the interaction of him with his brother, loki. Though betrayal and hate separated them, i was astonished how they came to terms with their differences and emotions for their departed mother.
As always, CGI is good. Better character development for the protagonists. The story have more substance and was more logical. humor decreased but rarity makes the humor funnier. lol i love loki's character more... :D tom hiddleston was perfect for that part.
if it's so good.. why did i give an 8?
I love christopher eccleston but i think his character, malekith was taken for granted by the writers so this movie can have a villain... it's like saying "oh well.. you're just gonna die in the end so i will not put much thought into your character"
another reason was the questions that popped up in my mind... i thought they were going to hide the aether where no one can find it? they should've placed a guardian in that place if it's really dangerous. lol how lucky was jane that she's the one to find the hidden aether?
