Watched Thor: The Dark World (2013) tonight. Another hit by Marvel and with Captain America: The Winter Soldier looking awesome so far, Marvel The Avengers Phase two is looking pretty good. This was an improvement from Thor 1 in almost every way. The story was your typical Superhero story but it was executed properly which made for a great viewing. The Marvel humor is also present thoroughly in this movie. They timed it rightly and it even made me laugh out loud during some moments. There were also nods to the Avengers universe here and there, which makes these movies all the more fun as it is all connected and what not. Marvel has certainly hit a Jackpot ever since they decided to do this from 2008. Almost all the cast from Thor 1 was back, which was good too see. Chris Hemsworth delivered a great performance as Thor yet again. His character development is good and you can see how much he has changed since Thor 1. BUT Ill have to say, the star of the show is LOKI. He just nails it every time he is on screen. Tom Hiddleston as Loki is probably one of the best casting decision ever. He is one of my favourite character of this Marvel Avengers universe. And the WTF/Awesome ending of this movie just made the wait to see him again a lot harder. The side characters are good too, whether it is for comic relief or other stuff. Kat Dennings Darcy character is back; I assume she was there to bring some levity/comedy to the flick....ehh... The action sequences were really good and very entertaining. The CGI was nice and much improved from Thor 1. There was a lot more action too this time, and rightly paced too, which made the movie an entertaining experience through and through. The costume/set design was fantastic; lots of Kirby and Simonson throughout. As it is common with Marvel movies, be sure to check out the two after credits scene. Must watch for any fan of the Marvel movies. I give this 8 out of 10, but your mileage may vary.
