BLUE BELL, PA--Marvel’s Thor: The Dark World, the sequel to 2011’s Thor was released in theaters on November 8th, 2013 and grossed over $85 million in its opening weekend. Directed by Alan Taylor, this film picks up where The Avengers left off. The main antagonist, Loki (played by Tom Hiddleston) is being held prisoner in the dungeons of Asgard, as punishment for his crimes inflicted on Earth. We find Loki’s brother, Thor (played by Chris Hemsworth) busy with establishing peace among the nine realms, which leaves little time for the woman he loves on Earth, Jane Foster, played by Natalie Portman.
Thor: The Dark World was one of the better Marvel films and was even better than its predecessor. The cinematography was superior to the first, and the animation looked a lot less cheesy, as the audience actually got a better glimpse into the world of Asgard, and all its amenities. The plot was also a bit more interesting that the first Thor film. The cliché of the destruction of the universe may be overdone, but for this film, it works. The characters also have a lot more depth, and the relationships are more complicated, as one of the more notable performances comes from Tom Hiddleston, who delivers just the right amount of insanity that Loki requires.
There aren’t many major differences between this film and other Super Hero movies, but for fans who can’t get enough of the Marvel universe, this film will not disappoint. Sprinkled with just the right amount of humor, romance, action and suspense, Thor: The Dark World continues along the path of massive success from the world of Marvel’s comics.
