Thor 2 The Dark World Review

     It seems to me that more and more blockbusters are being released later in the year. I'm looking forward to Catching Fire and The Desolation of Smaug, but first comes Thor 2.  

    Thor 2 is the sequal to the movie Thor and it's also a sequal to The Avengers. All these Marvel movies are all tied together at this point. The movie starts off with Loki being imprisoned in Asgard, Thor is off at war trying to bring peace to the nine realms and then the Dark Elves come and try to destroy the whole universe. So Thor gets reunited with Jane Foster and they have to save the world together. Also Thor has to team up with Loki to fight the dark elves in this movie to. It's a timeless tale where the hero must team up with the villain from the last movie to take out the greater evil and I loved there scenes together.

     My favorite part of this movie by far was Loki. I'm not sure if he's going to be in the Avengers 2 or not, but I really hope he is. I at least want to see him in another Marvel movie in the near future. He has become one of my favorite villains of all-time. Tom Hiddleston gives a great performance as Loki in this movie. He always has a scheme and it's a good idea to not trust him.

    I know some people had some problems with the first Thor movie. They didn't like that he was mortal for most of the movie. But in this movie he's not a mortal he's the demi god that we've come to love and he's really awesome. He's such a good character to in this movie he risks everything he has to save lives. My one complaint with the movie is that I think they over did the humor. I'm starting to notice that the phase two Marvel movies have more humor than the phase one movies. Iron Man 3 was funnier than the first two Iron Man movies. I'm not sure if Marvel is doing that on purpose or if it's just a coincidence. At the same time the humor didn't take me out of the movie at all and at no point did I feel like it was forced. The movie was still a really enjoyable movie, the final battle scene was really awesome and I have to say I like this movie better than the first Thor movie. Mainly because I didn't want this movie to take place on Earth as much and it didn't. However I will say I was hoping to see a cameo of Nick Fury or Agent Coulson because remember he is still alive for those of you who don't watch Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.  
      Overall I will give Thor 2 The Dark World 4.5 out of 5 stars. Be aware that there are 2 post credit scenes at the end of this movie. So have you seen Thor 2? what did you think? and what do you like better Thor or Thor 2?
