Love how your your sig sceams "Get your asses over here!" as well. Hungry much?
That you think your standards are anything but non-existant is hilarious considering that "she's hawt" is part of your criteria for what makes a good character.
Multiple people in this thread share my sentiments about the film and it has a 66% on RT.
But go ahead, tell me about how the opinions of critics don't matter while the opinions of your 8-year old nephew and fratboy friends do. 👆
I'm not really interested in box-office numbers or any of that shit. And I care little for the popularity of what I like (or dislike). As it is first and foremost about my tastes, my appreciation of the material and then, maybe about the shared feeling of friends.
Still, I did notice that the cinema we watched it at, a fairly arty-farty place and a hipster hangout of sorts in the most hipster infested area of London, was pretty ... empty. It was the second night of its run, so that was somewhat unusual.
And, comic-book films and the whole nerd culture thing are pretty much mainstream/Guardian readership fad level now. so I would have expected a big turnout for this film in this area.
Also, now that I think about it, there was a bigger turnout for Iron Man 3 and quite a huge turnout for Avengers Assemble (which I suspect most, like myself, watched twice).

Assumptions aside. And RT ratings which are as good as IMDB's, the film took the characters and the universe of the previous films and elevated them humorously and stylistically into the next chapter of the saga.
Asgard was represented with the same Sci-Fi aspects of the previous film whilst introducing effects that evoked memories of films like Flash Gordan mixed with modern day films like the modern Star Wars movies.
The scenes where the Asgardians were celebrating felt authentic to the comic idea of ancient peoples celebrating after wars that lasted decades and feasts that lasted as long.
The action scenes where top notch. Especially the finale. which was truly creative and added the human characters into the mix without making them feel like the script was forced to add them in. Which is rare in such films. (like Lois and friends being forced into MoS.)
Jane, Darcy and Erik where hilarious at moments and yes Kat was hot, But don't focus on that too much.
The Warrior's 3 were well represented besides Hogun who sat on the bench as the others played the game, but considering the length of the film I'm surprised they fit so much in.
Of course Loki had a major role in the film and he was excellent! The sibling rivalry between he and Thor was spot on and amplified how although these beings are aliens they still inevitably become the Godheads lower beings perceive them as being, which is the flavour the comics to this day go for.
My only gripe with the film was the Dark Elves who looked a bit underwhelming, but that's it.
The plot, the dialogue, the action and the characters where all great,
and kept the flavour of the previous film whilst opening many doors for more options in the future.
Asgard looked great. The other realms evoked memories of old Sword and Sorcery films and most importantly....it never took itself too seriously, the end credits scenes proved that.
I watched the film in a cinema practically full of women, who LOVED Loki. I guess the market for Thor is largely for females now and so be it. But I still (based on entertainment level) give it a solid 8/10.

Standards are subjective u dumb ass. I can understand if you didn't enjoy yourself with Thor 2, but why do you gotta go around being a dick to those that did enjoy it. If you didnt enjoy Thor than it sucks for u.
Now you can take the dildo out of your ass, shut off your laptop and GET THE **** out of your grannys basement you doosh bag

Saw it today and I really liked it. The comedy was a bit much though. The whole subway thing was just straight up stupid.
Well that's the thing about the Thor universe. It's very tongue in cheek. And very difficult to bring into the film medium.
The comedy aspect is critical to the Marvel Studio Universe and the subway scene during the final fight scene personally was genius, especially considering it happens during the final fight.
I had low expectations for this for because of the trailer but really stepped up in the end.
People (especially comic fans which I am) sometimes want these films to be dark and edgy but in the end they are meant to be fun foremost and are not to be taken so seriously.
People forget how hard it is to bring such a character and his world to modern day audiences and the two films could've failed so easily. But they managed to succeed and personally those who nitpick the small things in this film are wayyyyyy too judgemental.

I don't want a purely dark movie, however it should be serious when it's supposed to be so. Like in the Avengers there are some fun during the final fight but overall it's still very intense and serious. Thor 2's final battle failed to do so thus greatly brought down the quality. Weak antagonist, weak dark elves, the comedy just didn't let people feel the climax.

I have noticed Thor 2 is not doing to well over hear in America only 31 million in 3 days but in foreign countries its up to 110 million. Its sad but lack of American support for this flick dosent surprise me neverthe less its still doing awesome in foreign countries..
31 million is for Friday only. It's believed it will make about 80m+ over the weekend which is pretty good. Should allow it to make 200M+ domestic gross.

I don't like Kat's char. She is a little too obnoxious.
Yeah, she was one of the worst parts of the movie IMO. Heck, I think they would be better off just dropping all the humans.
I just saw Thor and even though I did enjoy it overall I though it was just...okay in the end. Yeah Loki stole the show but I really wanted more feats from Thor because the final fight wasn't all that impressive IMO....though I might be a bit harsh since MoS spoiled me with its action scenes.
Yeah Kat's character is annoying but she does have a nice rack. Also
Spoiler:
Is it just me or is Odin the least impressive god ever. I mean considering the track record he has in the comics I would've hoped he could've taken out some of those ships with his own power. Another thing I noticed is that he was kind of a dick in this movie: either that or his dickish nature was more obvious than the first

I understand what your saying and I agree for the most part but overall in the final fight I was hoping for an epic edge of your seat fight. The subway scene just fell flat for me. It just wasn't that funny imo. I loved the movie and most of the comedy was golden. Some of it had me laughing and I couldn't stop. But I kind have wanted Thor to show off a bit.
Also I liked how they addressed that
Spoiler:
that Thor says on screen that he can fly. I know there was a debate on here at one point about weather he was flying or just tossing his hammer really hard

when they mentioned
Spoiler:
Bor I kinda thought they might reveal a little more about why Odin took Loki from the frost giants. They didn't but its no biggie. They probably didn't want to go into any more detail on the subject
The reason this movie isn't as good as the Avengers is that Wheddon made sure all the characters had enough screen time and were relevant to the story. The Sif, Warriors 3, and Odin got the short end. They needed more air time. It would've been great had they showed up to the final battle to fight the elves instead of Darcy and her intern. Odin didn't do much even though his spear could've done serious damage to those ships. And Hogun, Hogun got the shafted just when they decided to have him grow out his beard. Heimdall got to shine though, a definite plus. Had the others gotten some good showings in this movie would be so much better.
Also, I miss the music from the first movie. That was epic stuff. Especially when they rode their horses across bifrost with that music playing. It'd be sweet if they had that playing during the final fight. Overall, Avengers was more thought out than Thor 2. So was Thor one. The pacing and story telling of the first is why I like it so much. Even without as much action, the first delivered a solid Thor movie. The Dark World story was more grand in scope and rich with ideas but execution was a bit poor and not as well planned out - sometimes too cheezy in certain scenes. I don't mind the stuff that happened in the final fight, but they could've made the fight longer and had Thor dish out more exotic powers against Malekith. Additionally, the elf needed more memorable lines; he didn't say enough that made us care. It's why Loki is beloved despite his villainous role, he spoke with charm and memorable lines.
This movie is a 7/10 for me. It's a good movie. Go see it!
Dang, didn't even notice that... And Sons of Odin was easily my favorite theme in the MCU films so far.
