Movie Review #2: Thor: The Dark World

***Movies are something that I find great entertainment in. They are art on the screen and come in so many types. This is my reason for doing my blog on movies and my reviews of them!

The second movie review I decided to do was a movie that I watched this past Saturday and had a great time watching. What better movie to watch this past weekend than the continuation of Marvel's Avengers superhero franchise............ "Thor: The Dark World"!


So "Thor: The Dark World" (2013) is the sequel to the 2011 movie "Thor" and the next movie of the Avengers franchise. It goes back to the character of Thor after the events of "The Avengers" (2012). Thor, played by Chris Hemsworth, now has to restore peace in the 9 worlds and his home world of Asgard while dealing with problems with his father (Odin) played by Anthony Hopkins, brother (Loki from "Thor" and "The Avengers") played by Tom Hiddleston, and his reunited love interest (Jane Foster) played by Natalie Portman. The main problem, however, is the Dark Elves and their attempt to end Asgard and bring down Thor. Now Thor must fight back to save the ones he loves and save the universe.

Sounds like a typical nerdy superhero movie but what matters is how they present it. And they nailed it down! "Thor: The Dark World" was a great sequel that was entertaining and action-packed. The plot really brought me in and the twists and deep moments really made it a fun movie to watch. Everyone did very well, especially Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Tom Hiddleston as Loki. Hemsworth as Thor really advanced the character and created a hero you really wanted to cheer for! He was willing to give up his life to save his loved ones and that's what was really great about his character. Hiddleston as Loki was unbelievable! He is such a sneaky trickster who can be very evil and funny! You can and can't trust him which makes the story even more entertaining to watch! Also, the action and effects were awesome! It was very visually appealing and sometimes made you feel like you were actually there. My only problem was some unimportant characters and some untimed comedic moments. However, this was not enough to make me not love this movie!

Rating: 8/10 Stars

Overall, "Thor: The Dark World" was an amazing superhero movie! Its story and characters created a movie that was very entertaining and fun! The action and comedy created a well-rounded movie which was greatly enjoyed! It not only advanced the Thor plot but The Avengers plot as well, which gets me really excited for the upcoming Marvel movies!  This movie definitely deserves a salute as being one of the best of 2013 and one that you have to watch!
