Thor: The Dark World a Fangirl Review
 | |
| Yes that's me and the God of Thunder himself, Chris Hemsworth! |
Hello
friends! It’s been awhile since my last
blog, but there seemed like no better way to return than with a Thor: The Dark
World review! Just so you know there may
be some spoilers in this review so you owe it to yourself to go see the movie
before you read my review. If you were
never going to see it then read on and I hope I can change your mind.
Let me
briefly recap my views on the first Thor movie.
Although I really enjoyed it, I must admit that I found some of it a bit
boring. The Asgard scenes were generic
to me and I just didn’t invest in them the way I wanted to, but over all I
still loved it, it’s just my least favorite of the phase 1 movies. So believe me when I say that Thor: The Dark
World is a 1000% better than the original.
Thor: The Dark
World takes place about 2 years after the battle of New York. Last time we saw Thor, he was escorting Loki
back to Asgard for his actions against Earth.
With Loki imprisoned and the 9 realms finally at peace, Thor is left to
deal with his heartache for Jane Foster and the looming duties of becoming the
next King of Asgard.
Thor is a
changed man. He still has the hint of cockiness
to him in battle, but he’s grown up, he knows his responsibilities and what his
place is among the 9 realms. You can
tell he has the weight of them on his shoulders. Loki on the other hand is dealing with his own
demons and daddy issues. Stuck in a cell
for the rest of his days and let’s face it that could be a long time, is not
the big, bright future he was hoping for.
Lucky for him, evil does not stay dormant long and Loki just may get
freedom and a chance at redemption. The
Dark Elves have come back to finish what they started long ago when Odin’s
father ruled Asgard and this time they aim to win the war and unleash the evil.
I loved
everything about this movie. The cast is
great and they know their characters so well. Some of the stand-outs to me were Chris Hemsworth, who else could play Thor? To me, he
is the God of Thunder. Stellan Skarsgard
who is funnier than ever! I mean who didn't laugh out loud at the Stonehenge scene! And of
course Tom Hiddleston. He gives such
life to Loki, he needs his own movie in phase 3 for sure! Come on Marvel, Let’s make this happen.
Asgard
this time around is not just a 1 dimensional place it has life in it and it is
its own character. There was actually one scene, where the Dark
Elves are attacking with airships and I actually felt like I was watching a
Star Wars movie, but don’t take that as a bad thing! I loved every minute of
it. I also loved that Thor brings Jane
to Asgard to try to save her. She fits
in better there, than Thor did on his first trip to earth.
Hands down
my favorite scenes are with Thor and Loki.
I want so badly for Loki to be a redeemable character. Hiddleston makes his character one that even
though you know you should hate him you just can’t. The brotherly fighting and picking on one
another is great. The best scene is when
Loki disguises himself as a certain member of the Avengers! I literally stood
up and clapped, I was that excited.
What I
love about Marvel is the completeness of their world. When I go into a Marvel movie, I know that
there will always be more to the story.
There will always be little tie-ins to past and present movies. I love the passion that they put into each
project and the confidence they show. I’m
sure there will be one movie that may not work for them in the future, but for
now they are on a roll and I’m enjoying the hell out of the ride.
I can’t
say it enough, go see this movie. The
movie flies by because it’s paced so well and be sure to stay for both post
credit scenes! The one after the main credits is great, but the one right at
the end was the best! Ladies trust me, it’s worth waiting for.
