Thor 2

The plot was sketchy, mostly because nothing actually moved on, no actions seemed to have consequences and the X-Files goo was completely superfluous. It was basically the same as the narrated story at the start, only with some knob-twiddling to put the threat to rest.

yeah it still had something to do with the story at the start..

Spoiler:
But then you have Jane Foster coming into contact with the Aether which Bor tried to keep in a secret place from Malekith and then there's something about Malekith can sense it and he goes seeking it and re-attempt what he did during his battle with Bor

There's not a great deal of substance with the story unlike what you get with the DC/Warner Bro's films... but not everything needs to be like those movies.

Really liked it. Only two complaints:
1) Malekith was a boring villain.
2) Ending was not as good as it could've been.
Other than that it's a very good movie. Action, acting etc.
And humor didn't feel out of place. Stan Lee's cameo and you-know-whose cameo in the middle of the movie made me lol.

Malekith's goal reminded me of Garlic Jr's one in the Dead Zone movie

Both times got stopped.

Captain Loki

Awesome Movie!!! Thor comes off as Marvel Cinematic Universe's most powerful hero. The Movie Thor1, Thor fought Loki with the Odin spear...Avengers, Vs Loki in Cosmic cube. In Thor TDW, Thor showed why he is the best in MCU.

The film dropped to 74% on RT but that don't mean jack. I'm going to it this weekend so f*ck the critics.

Amen.

74% is still good for critics.

But its still best to see it for yourself.

Gonna see it tomorrow night baby! Can't wait.

Finally seen it. Awesome movie.

Spoiler:
Just wish we'd see Odin really kick ass

Best superhero movie of the year for me. Easily 8/10.

This film did give me hopes for the Guardians film, interesting cosmic approach, even some scientifical crazy-tech thrown in.

It would've made a better Superman film than Man of Steel.

Just saw it. 8.5/ 10

A few minor problems with it.

Spoiler:
Thor didn't REALLY beat anyone powerful. He "defeated" Malekith with the help of Selvig. He got his arse STOMPED by Kurse. He didn't really seem very Thorish to me. Not the only thing wrong with the film, but still.....it was great nonetheless.

Overall the acting was good again. Loki was great. There was some good humor. Great eye candy. Just a fun flick that was over far too soon. I can only hope the next one is as fun as the first 2 have been.

Just got back from watching it, and I must say it is definitely the best CBM since The Avengers. Great movie. 8.5/10

66% on RT now.

Saw it . I kinda agree with this.
Overall I very much enjoyed it. Humor wasn't bad and there wasn't as much I was led to believe by critics.

Also LOVED : DAT 1st after credit scene!

Ok, just got back from seeing it.

The first 2/3 of the movie, is great beside one thing.

Epic background of the villain, awesome special effects, funny jokes. Many Asgard gods, especially Loki's character was further developed and there were sacrifices.

Spoiler:
However, I don't think the Malekith and Frigga scene makes sense. He could detect the Aether from like, light years away? And he knew it was on Padme even though nobody told him. Even if he could still get tricked, why would he have to waste time to ask her about where is Padme after the trick was over? He could easily sense her and she was not far away. Also it was very stupid to kill her, she could be a very valuable hostage to be used against Asgard.

The last 1/3 of the story is crap.

Spoiler:
I believe after such a awesome 2/3, we were expecting a big, epic, intense final confrontation between Thor and the Dark Elves, but we got a comedic, stupid fight, Malekith was so weak before he got the Aether, and after he got it he was still only having slight advantage over Thor, thus makes the final battle a bit less interesting, since we saw his lieutenant could beat the crap out of Thor. They made the same mistake of MoS, let the NO.2 villain overshadowed the antagonist.

And they were just keep getting teleported to different places and could barely keep fight. Thor even had to take a metro to go back. This really damaged the intensity of the battle. and not to say, the comedic couple's scenes further dropped the seriousness of the battle. I also don't understand how could that couple and Padme escape unharmed with a bunch of dark elves behind their asses? We saw they could match the strength of the Asgard warriors, and their weapon is very deadly, especially those "dark hole grenades".

Overall, because of the strength of the villain, the stupid teleport scenes damaged the intensity, the comedic scenes and the "dumb dark elves" made this final battle(supposed to be very intense the serious) a big disappointment.

I don't see the need to bring Loki back to life either, this actually made his sacrifice and selflessness much less precious, unless they are trying to make him play a villain role in the future.

The mid-credit scene is quite interesting.

Spoiler:
Thanos is collecting the gems.

LOL @ calling Jane- Padme.

Thor: The Dark World is easily better than Thor (and Iron Man 3), but Rotten Tomatoes doesn't think so. Forget them. I will say the movie could've done away with the comedy during the fight between Thor and Kurse I don't need comic relief when the story is in it's climax. 8/10.

Very entertaining film, though rough enough around the edges that I can't call it better than the first Thor. Evidence of a lot of cooks in the kitchen are present, with so many plot threads and not all resolved. But the scope is hugely epic, the humour is winning and Loki continues to be the secret weapon. On a par with Man Of Steel, if not superior to it.

Best of the Marvel Cinemaric Universe:

The Avengers
Iron Man
Thor
Captain America: The First Avenger
Iron Man 3
