Duke Togo Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 I waited for the blu to hit Netflix before I saw the first one. If there's good buzz being generated by the second, I may go see it in the theater. Quote
Mr March Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 It looks like they are still paying attention to the character and dramatic elements of the cast, so if they can deliver this will be another solid film. Love the trailer and that poster has a real old school charm to it Quote
Twoducks Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Good oldschool wink with the stone alien there lol Quote
Hoptimus Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I am really looking forward to this one. Looks like it will be a fun romp and Malick is an interesting villian. Quote
Major Tom Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Wow, who knew the god of mischief has that kind of moves: Quote
myk Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Lol, so cool and I'm not surprised, in the least. I'd say his Loki characer is one of the more interesting and fun to watch of the Marvel characters on the big screen. IMO Loki stole the spotlight in the original Thor movie and was second in the Avengers movie only to RDJ's Stark. This is definitely the succes of a charismatic actor bringing a comic book character to life and yeah, he can dance too... Quote
Mr March Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 LOL! Loki Dance Revolution Yeah, Tom Hiddleston's Loki is quickly becoming one of the great cinematic villains of all time. He has that great mix of tragedy, arrogance and dark humor that makes him all at once sympathetic, detestable and entertaining. I hope "The Dark World" is at least as good as the first Thor so I can enjoy the Loki trilogy Quote
aerocombatpilot Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Looks great, I'm in provided that b*tch Jane gets killed at the END!! Quote
troyness Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 It would probably help alot if Jane died..thru that dark and heady period Thor could come out the other end with a No. 1 hit single "Jane's dead". The trailer looks alot better than the first film. I was supprised at the huge reaction/support/love Tom Hiddleston get's at the comic con panels, the fans love him!!! Don't get me wrong I think Tom is a good actor...I guess I'm just immune to a foreign accent and it's charm. But I'm not a big enough fan of Thor to know what Loki is supposed to be as a character. So I'm just an average movie goer as far as Thor is concerned. But it seems to me that there are 2 opinions 1.the fans- love Loki and know that Tom Hiddleston plays that character. 2.everyone else-that accented bad guy who was in 2 Marvel movies. It was interesting to see 2 different reactions from both sides as I had a group of friends at my house watch alot of comic con panels and the room was divided into"Go Tom!!!" and "who..ohh Loki.." But looking forward to this !!! Quote
Ivan Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Why so much hatred for Jane Foster (Natalie Portman)? I for one am glad that she was in the sequel from beginning to end, contrary to what the trailers had led me to believe. Much better film than the first one and very entertaining. I will leave it to Duke Togo and others to point out the plot holes / flaws, but I myself am satisfied. Quote
BlueMax Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Watched it in the theaters 2 days back, must say I enjoyed it much more than the 1st movie, and for Tom Hiddleston/ Loki fans, Loki definitely gets the best lines in the film. Less Midgard (Earth) and more Asgard is always good Quote
taksraven Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Hang on, Kat Dennings is in this film and people want Natalie Portmans character to die??? WTF?? Quote
myk Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 Hang on, Kat Dennings is in this film and people want Natalie Portmans character to die??? WTF?? I can't even process the rest of your sentence after your mentioning of Kat Dennings... Quote
taksraven Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 I can't even process the rest of your sentence after your mentioning of Kat Dennings... You've obviously never heard what happens when she opens her mouth. The horror outweighs any other "assets" she has..... (and besides, there are no "assets" of hers on display in this film anyway") Quote
myk Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 You've obviously never heard what happens when she opens her mouth. The horror outweighs any other "assets" she has..... (and besides, there are no "assets" of hers on display in this film anyway") I haven't. Is she a ding-bat? That's COMPLETELY fine with me... Quote
David Hingtgen Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 How is this not posted here yet? Quote
taksraven Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 How is this not posted here yet? Question should have been "Which character has the better actor, Thor or Loki?" Would have gotten a different response then..... Quote
KH355hamdi Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 He's the new Heath (Joker). Antihero character whom people grown to like. Quote
Mommar Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 So.... it's a bromance? Bromance is when it's two guys who are really close. When it's two actual brothers it's just called incest. Quote
areaseven Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Bromance is when it's two guys who are really close. When it's two actual brothers it's just called incest. But you forget, Loki was adopted. Quote
DuelGundam2099 Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 It comes out tomorrow, sooooooo wanting to see this. Quote
barurutor Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Just saw it this evening, great film! Lots of great lines for all the characters, but Loki definitely stands out. Quote
Scream Man Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 yeah i saw it the other day (im not sure why, but Australia got it a week ago). Big, fun loud action spectacular. The characters are as you expect if u have seen the previous films, but the action is big and a real blast to watch. Not to much in the way of surprises, but still thoroughly enjoyable, and Better than Iron Man 3 (and 2, really) Quote
Dynaman Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Much better movie then the first one. There was only one really bad continuity problem (spoiler) but other then that it held together well and the characters were a bit more then just cardboard cutouts. I was entertained the whole way through unlike the first one where I was bored in the first 15 minutes. Everyone else who grabs Ms Foster in order to take her away gets toasted but Loki did not - even though he was not working in the interest of the elf dude. Quote
Mr March Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Just got back from watching and it was a pretty good film with laughs and action that was sufficiently entertaining for all its faults. Thor: The Dark World has guts for being just balls out crazy, embracing the silliness and the bizarre of the Thor mythos from the Marvel universe. There's plenty of action, lots of humor and the whole cast is written with enough substance so that each character has their moment even if that is only a small one. There are also some serious stakes in this film and the script does a good job of selling the dread and disaster wrought by the movie's simplistic villain. The production design is a lot of fun, from costumes, sets and props to the special effects design for space, ships and weapon effects. This feels like a $100 million movie and can be enjoyed as such. And like all the Marvel films, there are some nice little tips-of-the-hat to the other characters in the larger Marvel universe and a few story links to companion films. The post-credit sequence was also a real treat for comic book fans, especially if you read Silver Surfer in the 1990s. I did not enjoy Thor: The Dark World as much as a film than the first, but I know that on the internet I'll most certainly be in the minority with that opinion. The first film was just as silly and just as out there as this sequel, but the character stories were far superior in the original. So many have asked me with bewilderment why I preferred that first Thor film over all the other standalone Marvel movies at the time (Captain America, Hulk, Iron Man 3, etc) and the answer is always because of the superior character writing and the emotional currents made great in that film. Shades of those strong character arcs are still here in the sequel, but have mostly been left only to Hemsworth's Thor and Hiddleston's Loki. But as I said, I predict that the action junkie internet crowd will definitely praise this film far and above the first. Mores the pity. Lastly, I just have to say that I give these Thor films real props for being inclusive with the casting and writing. At the end of the day these are still stories about white guys being awesome, but I love how the Thor films traffic in variety and write their diverse characters with respect. In an industry where women, racial minorites and other marginalized groups are ignored or written as jokes/stereotypes, the Thor films feel quite respectful and progressive. Good on Marvel. Quote
Dobber Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Saw it last night. The Thor movies are the best in the marvel franchise IMO. Chris Quote
