His arrogance from the first film has been dialed down slightly but that sense of superiority isn’t completely gone, and it gives him depth. Hemsworth continues to simply ooze charisma and charm as Thor. The Dark Elves meanwhile have a wonderful organic feel to their technology which is both believable and delightfully different from anything audiences have seen in this universe up to this point.Īs before the single strongest aspect of this film is the performances. Asgard never loses the Norse mythology aesthetic, even when guards are firing bolts of energy. The design of the technological aspects has been very carefully handled.
And amazingly it never feels strange or out of place.
This means that audiences are treated to battle scenes where some characters are firing lasers while others are wielding swords. The film also pushes the idea of blending fantasy and science fiction. There’s still some time spent on Earth, but it doesn’t feel like it’s being done to temper the budget this time around. This allows for more and bigger worlds and more and bigger action scenes. Now that Marvel knows Thor can draw in audiences there is much more money thrown up on the screen. The first Thor film was fairly small in scale and also spent half of the running time in an isolated town in the middle of New Mexico, a fairly transparent way to keep the budget under control on what was an unproven property at the time.
However the convergence brings with it something even more sinister, the viciou s Dark Elves whose leader Maleki th (Christopher Eccleston ) plans to use the convergences as a means to extinguish all light from the universe and return it to the darkness from before creation.įirst it should be said that this film is very quick to fix what is largely considered to be the weakness of the first film: the scale of the story. She encounters pockets of gravitational and temporal instability being caused by the alignment of the nine realms, which happens once every 5,000 years. Peace if finally at hand once more and Thor’s treacherous foster brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston ) is sentenced by their father Odin (Anthony Hopkins) to Asgard’s dungeon, forgotten by all by their mother Friga (Rene Russo.) Meanwhile back on Earth, physicist Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) continues to follow strange phenomenon in hopes that it will lead her to Thor again. “Thor: The Dark World” opens with the titular character (Chris Hemsworth ) still trying to clean up the mess created across the nine realms by the events of the first film. Now Thor has his second solo adventure in the form of “ Thor: The Dark World” and it’s certainly bigger. That film did the impossible and even managed to be an enjoyable movie on top of that, thanks to pitch perfect casting and some clever pacing. At the time it was Marvel’s biggest gamble, attempting to take a clearly fantasy based character and make him believably live in the same universe as the science based Iron Man franchise. When the first “ Thor” film was released it caught quite a few people off guard by simple virtue of the fact that it wasn’t terrible.
