The mighty silver hammer and golden mane of Thor is back on the big screen in an epic tale that sweeps across the 9 realms of the universe. As you might expect the movie is action packed but it also has some funny moments and touching moments. The characters have been developed in the previous films and are developed even further making Thor The Dark World the tip of the iceberg in this movie franchise.
I really liked the story and the way the film looked visually. Yes the special effects were awesome but that was not the only thing to like. Each shot and camera angle looked like a panel in a comic book which when combined with the stunning 3-D effects really added to my enjoyment of the film. The actresses and actors are some of the strongest in Hollywood. Washboard abs or a six pack would be a gross understatement when describing the quality of Chris Hemsworth’s abs. Making him perfect for the role of Thor.
The rest of the impeccable cast returns as well with sir Anthony Hopkins as Thor’s father Odin. We learned in the first film that Odin’s family life is pretty complicated. Renee Russo plays the mom, who is torn between loving her children and coming to grips with their transgressions. Natalie Portman plays Thor’s love interest, Jane Foster. She is dealing with the complications long distance relationship with Thor not to mention that she is super smart at science and stuff.
Don’t forget my favorite Tom Hiddleston who’s Loki is as smug, sarcastic, and self absorbed as ever. The ultimate bad boy. The audience here in Vegas that I saw the film with cheered when his picture and name flashed on the screen at the end credits. One of the things I really love about this and all the Marvel movies is that when they are over you can go back and check on whether the characters appeared in the comics. They always do and this was the case with Christopher Eccleston as Malekith the Dark Elf. His voice in this movie is super evil. The kind of sound that makes you want to hold your loved ones a little closer. Thor, the universe, and the rest of all eternity definitely have their hands full with this ancient enemy.

My entire house is so excited for this movie.
I can’t wait!!!!!!
We still have to watch the first one! We’re catching up on our Marvel movies. We just have one Ironman and two Thors to watch. 😉
Seen it twice and I loved it both times.
Ah, the movie sounds so good! I am hoping we can go next weekend.
My husband is hoping to see this, I’m sure I’ll enjoy it too. But now we just need to find the time to go out!
Yet another Marvel movie I cannot wait to see!
I told my husband we need to find a sitter for the kids because I’m dying to see this!
Seems like a cool movie. Will have to watch it sooner 🙂
This movie looks really exciting and as if it will be beautiful photography and cinematography.
We can’t wait to see Thor! We went out of town before it opened so we have to wait until next weekend 🙁
I heard mixed review, but I still want to see it!
We can not wait to see this. So exciting.
we are having a rare date night to go see this in a week or 2- can’t wait!
I liked the characters in the movie. We’ll surely hit the theater for this.
I wasn’t able to catch this over the weekend, but everyone I know who has seen it is raving about it.
I am so excited to see this! I’m hoping to go next weekend.
My oldest is going to be so happy to see this one too.
My weekends have been consumed with baby things lately, but I hope to be able to see this soon!
I absolutely LOVED this movie!!! I think it was better than the first.
I’m looking forward to seeing this when it comes out!
I’ve seen a lot of posts about this movie!
Even if I didn’t already want to see Thor… Chris Hemsworth is reason enough!
We’re all super excited to see this!
Can’t wait to see this movie with my kids!!!
I just went yesterday to see this with my daughter and husband, I have to admit that Erik and Darcy were actually the highlights of the movie for me!
Thor 3 just needs to be all Loki, all the time. There are worse things in the world than staring at Tom Hiddleston for two hours or so. 🙂
Thor is hot, but Portman as his love interest is odd….she looks like a little gir, and he is a hulking, muscle man…I love her but they should have picked someone sexier, lol…I LOVE Thor movies!
That’s kinda cool that they cheered at his credit. He’s so awesome in that role!!
I am usually not much of a Marvel movie fan, but Mr Hemsworth certainly perks my interest.
I have a wee little crush on Chris Hemsworth. Sigh. 🙂
My hubby is begging me to see this (we just don’t have time right now!).
I’m so incredibly fired up to see Loki in this!
This looks like such a good movie, thought that dude was Brad Pitt for a moment 🙂
I’m looking forward to this one after finally seeing the 1st
My boys are excited to see this. We looove thor!
This looks really cool!!
