Thor: The Dark World




Jean, You can not help but come out of the theater saying to yourself," I got more than my money's worth in this film." It has quite a big time cast including Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins, Stellan Skarsgard, and even Chris O'Dowd from Bridesmaids.Then you have some of the most imaginative and amazing special effects scenes.( I am still thinking of the scene where the flying wing space ship flies down the center of the palace corridor clipping the lineup of gothic columns, one by one or two by two.) This is another case where the hero is nearly beaten to a pulp by the villains like they did to Batman a while back. There is humor here, some of it really hits the mark. Thor himself can be a little boring as he does not have an alter ego, so he is the super hero "all the time." I thought this was so much better than the first one and would now go see the third as it is set up neatly in the final scene.  Dad

P.S. The previews were:

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit
Delivery Man
Robocop
The Hobbit:Desolation of Smaug
The Hunger Games:Catching Fire
