Directed by: Alan Taylor
Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston
Running time: 112 minutes
This
is the second installment in the Thor series, and number three is expected a
few years from now.
While
I thoroughly enjoyed the first movie, the second one left me kind of cold. The
same cast is back, and they are all still doing a fine job. It is a superhero
movie, so one is not to expect Oscar-worthy acting. For the genre, everything
was what it should be as far as that goes. My biggest problem was with the
storyline. Maybe it was just me; maybe I was not enough of a geek and comic
book enthusiast to fully get into this one. In the end, it all felt so
convoluted to me.
Thor:
The Dark World starts where the first installment finished. Loki (Hiddleston) is
imprisoned for his crimes on earth. Thor (Hemsworth), on the other hand, takes
the task of fixing up the mess created by his younger brother, Loki. When old
enemies of Asgard come to destroy their world, Thor has to seek the help of his
brother to save their world and protect Dr. Jane Foster (Portman).
Fans
of the genre very well could like this one. Superhero movies have never been my
favorites, though I have watched and liked many. This one I could not get into.
There is a lot going on, the pace is fast. I just got lost in all the talk,
much of which was gibberish to me. At least, the ending made me want to see the next instalmment in this franchise.
