Plot
"Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all.".
My Thoughts
Anyone who read my review for the
original "Thor" (here it is Thor) will know that while I didn't think the
film was terribly bad I did criticize the film for its plot, its choices for
some of the casting (Mainly Natalie Portman from the main cast) and overall to
me out of the marvel films that I have seen (dating back to X-Men in 2000) this
was the weakest of the mall, I will add that I am not a huge Thor fan but I
like the idea being the Norse mythology and I am fascinated by the whole idea of
a Norse god as a hero. Coming off of the huge success of the avengers last
year, I was ready to give this film a new chance ti impress me much more than
the first film did. Sadly this film for me does not do much better than the
first film, the plot I felt was weak as the main enemy in the film to me did
have that "It" factor that a villain in any marvel films needs to
have to be useful, the villain dopes his job but to me for how much h the
"dark elves":'' where being touted about in the film, I expected more
and felt that overall the elves where underwhelming. Natalie Portman for anyone
who read my original "Thor" review will know that to me she was
completely unneeded in the first film and was basically just there for Thor to
have a love interest her character just felt “forced “and “slammed “into the
film and her acting for a "academy" award winner was downright awful.
With her being recast in this film I was hoping that her role would prove to at
least be more useful and Natalie Portman’s acting to kick it up a notch. Again
I was disappointed, her character again was not needed in this film and it felt
like the producers made her a huge part of the story just to give her screen
time, I honestly felt they could have taken her character away made one slight
tweak to the script and you would have not missed her, if her character is in
the next film I don’t know what they should do but her character needs to be
overhauled completely. Chris Hemsworth by this point knows how to play Thor and
does a decent job at playing the Norse god for the third time, nothing
spectacular but not Natalie Portman bad by no means. The rest of the main cast
does a decent Job (I did feel that Darcy's character was again not really need
for this film and was used just for comic relief which she did not do a great
job of) . Onto my next gripe wit this film the use of CG in my opinion CG is
fine as long as it is used tastefully and well done, for a film with a budget
of this caliber I was hugely let down by the low quality of the CG a and
the amount of how much was used. There were not many bright spots for me in
this film, the only real one that I can think of would be the Scale of the
settings of the film the backdrops and the different worlds that where shown
did look beautiful and I commend the production and visual arts team or the
great job that they did on that part of the film. RotttenTomatoes
Gave this film a 65% saying "It
may not be the finest film to come from the Marvel Universe, but Thor: The Dark
World still offers plenty of the humor and high-stakes action that fans have
come to expect". I agree for the most part except that the humor to me was
bland and not funny the action was pretty good but with a marvel film that is
the least you expect. Overall this film for me was no better than the original
and that is a disappointment I expected better the second time around and it basically
felt the same as the first film expect that the characters knew each other better
this time around.
Rating
Dissappointment expected more 6.9/10!!!!
