[Movie Review] Thor: Dark World

Odin Son… A hammer so heavy that the Hulk could not lift it. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s a review of Thor: Dark World.

The Knight and his Lady

THE BRAINS: Directed by Alan Taylor, screenplay by Christopher Yost, Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely, story by Don Payne & Robert Rodat and a cast consisting of Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Natalie Portman as Jane Foster, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Anthony Hopkins as Odin, Christopher Eccleston as Malekith, Jaimie Alexander as Sif, Zachary Levi as Fandral, Idris Elba as Heimdall, Rene Russo as Frigga, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Algrim / Kurse, Kat Dennings as Darcy Lewis & Stellan Skarsgård as Erik Selvig. Check the trailer out below.

THE PLOT: Thor tries to stop the leader of the Dark Elves, Malekith from using the Aether to send the universe into darkness while at the same time trying to protect the 9 realms and save the woman he loves.

THE ANALYSIS: Firstly, this is way better than the first installment and i enjoyed every single moment of it. The plot was well organized and afforded one to understand Loki better as his character was explored a little more and Asgard scenery shown more. The action scenes where wonderful to say the least with my picks being Queen Frigga against Malekith and Thor against Malekith in the 3rd act. The acting was awesome with Tom Hiddlestone as Loki as the most outstanding performer (P.S If they intend to reboot Thor or Loki in the near future, whoever is picking Loki’s role should understudy Hiddlestone well enough #NuffSaid), Rene Russo played her role well enough. Visuals and music were also okay and i must say it was a worthy watch. Currently according to Yahoo Movies, the movie has raked in $86.1 million in the domestic box office this weekend and earned $109.4 million when it opened internationally last weekend and $94 million internationally this weekend.

FINAL JUDGEMENT: As i stated earlier, this installment was way better and more developed. As usual Marvel did drop a mid & post credit scene [Never leave the cinema hall up until the credits are done showing when seeing a marvel movies], which showed a guy known as the Collector who is likely to be explored more in the upcoming Guardians of The Galaxy :D. My advice, do go see this movie ASAP 😉

RATING: 8/10
