America loves a winner!

Saw it. Liked it. It was very well done.

2 ( not just 1 ) post movie scenes to look for, after the credits.

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.

I thought it was good too. Everyone did a pretty good job, except for Natalie, who seemed to be phoning in her part. I had read rumors she tried to get out of her contract for this one. Hopkins and Hemsworth were great, but once again Tom Hiddleston stole the show.

However, the motivations of the villains was suspect. What's in it for them if everything is destroyed? I suppose something had to remain or else they would have nothing and no one to rule over, but the result of what they were trying to do was vague.

Yeah I liked it too. Not enough of Zachary Levi though! Kat Dennings' character was fun Hemsworth and Hiddlestone were great and some humour in there that feels very Joss! I know he did some re-writes and I have my suspicions which scenes were his, but I'd like to know for sure.

All in all another thoroughly entertaining Marvel offering.

Yeah stick around until the very end of the credits and the lights come on.

Natalie Portman was purportedly not happy with the replacement of Patty Jenkins, the director of Monster (2003), who was originally signed on here, and tried to exit the film after Jenkins was replaced but found she could not get out of her contract. Between the two Thor films, she makes surely one of the most boring girlfriends in superherodom – you sit wondering what it is about her that inspires Thor to want to give up an entire multi-dimensional kingdom to be with her. Kat Dennings, cast in a largely throwaway role as Portman’s sidekick, ran rings around her in the first film and effortlessly does the same again here such that you wonder why they didn’t cast her as Jane rather than the detached Portman.

There is a cute sequence near the start of the film where Natalie Portman and Kat Dennings investigate the inter-dimensional anomalies in an abandoned warehouse that feels almost like a live-action version of the Beyond segment of The Animatrix (2003). http://moria.co.nz/fantasy/thor-the-dark-world-2013.htm

Director Alan Taylor did speak about that, he said that Joss didn't work on any of the comedy, but did do a pass on the more emotional moments. Specifically those between Thor and Jane, and Thor and Loki.

"Goram it kid, let's frak this thing and go home! Engage!"

MOOSE

Just got back from seeing it.
I liked it, and agree about Portman's less than stellar performance.
I was kinda hoping they would kill her off.

I am curious how tonight's Agents of SHIELD ties into it, but won't get to see it until tomorrow.

eta:whoops, I thought the tie in ep was going to be this week, but it won't be until the 19th.

There were a few 'large picture' things like that which I just kinda let go, but yeah, I don't see the motivation for some of which goes on in these stories. O.K., now everything is dark. What's the point ? How do you admire stuff you can't see ? How do you control it ?

And I hadn't even noticed that Zach Levi was IN the movie.

( I noticed that Lee Pace will be in Guardians of the Galaxy, along w/ Vin Diesel. AND Karen Gillan! ... ok, I'm getting ahead of myself here )

Hey ! Great catch! It DOES look like used that as a model for the movie.

Also, 'detached' Portman... absolutely. And double on Kat Dennings. Of course, all she DOES in her t.v. show is deliver 1 liners, so as 'side kick', she was well suited for the part. Even so, she brings more to her character than Portman.

ZEEK

I liked the movie quite a bit. It was much better than the first IMO. Thor was Thor in this movie. That's what I'm buying a ticket for. It would have helped to flesh out the bad guys a bit more, but all in all it was a good popcorn movie. I didn't have any problem with Natalie Portman's performance. She isn't supposed to be some bubbly free spirit like Darcy. I thought she delivered her one liners just as well as Kat and that she showed plenty of emotion in her more serious scenes.

All in all it was a good movie. Not something I care to see multiple times like the Iron Man films, but good in its own right.

Finally went to see it, and I agree with you and EC. Natalie was somewhat distracted. Kat Dennings is absolutely delicious, and I could have used a bit more of Fandral and Sif. Hiddleston and Hemsworth are also quite good, with Hiddleston stealing just about every scene effortlessly. The great surprise for me was Rene Russo, who looked beautiful by the way. She gave a solid performance in the short screen time she had. And Sir Hopkins, well, he's perfectly cast as Odin.

Absolutely loved the scenes in Asgard, it was just like in the comic books, if not, better.

What Would Mal do ?

they should have called the movie.. "Thor - the Natalie Portman story".
I mean jeeeesh! the woman is a sucky actor to begin with so every scene with her as the focus seems extra long and dry..even hard for the other actors to play off of her.... I don't know of ANY of the other marvel movies that have taken such time and focused so heavily on the hero's heart throbs...maybe the have and it just seems like a lot more cause she is such wasted footage... hang on.. I gotta google the "I hate Natalie facebook page" ....brb...

Kat Dennings had better lines, and basically out shined poor Natalie.

I dunno. If I were Thor, I'd probably give her a second look.

Once I found Serenity

I can't wait to see the show. Like the info in the other posts and will see if they hold up when I see it. I am always late to the dance when it comes to seeing these movies.
