Review of Thor: The Dark World (2013) by William C — 28 Jan 2015
Grade:Higher 6/10.
Thor: The Dark World is a comic book superhero movie that although.
Maybe not containing the most thrilling of plot lines, still manages to.
Churn out a fun film. With a lot of humour to add to the plot it could.
Be said this is one superhero movie that doesn't always take itself so.
Seriously and shows that Thor can do more than just one film. I felt by.
The end that it was a firmly OK movie and here below is why so.
The story is kind of confusing like at times, it jumps from one thing.
To another and although you won't be lost, some scenes are fairly quick.
And dialogue can be missed. I did enjoy the action side of the film and.
The scenes shown containing fights etc are well laid out so that the.
Film never gets to dull for the viewer. It tries to crack a few jokes.
Here and there and they can be funny at times, if anything it lightens.
The movie up in parts.
I found Chris Hemsworth to be good, not great but he does the job he is.
Supposed to do and it has to be said he is well choreographed all the.
Way through. Natalie Portman is OK but can maybe seem just slightly.
Under acting but is usually saved by fellow cast members. Tom.
Hiddleston well I wasn't too sure on him in this second instalment, I.
Felt he tried too hard to be the big sinister guy in certain scenes and.
Although by the end he has done an OK job, still just a little over the.
Top.
It is well directed and to say the effects are so big and expansive in.
This movie, Alan Taylor seems to finish this up well. I wasn't always.
Too keen on the script whilst watching and although I think it improves.
As the movie progresses, it still could do with a few tweaks here and.
There. On the point of effects, they are everywhere it would seem but.
Not bad at all and contribute very well to the thrills felt throughout.
The film.
The main negativity coming from this is the way in which it has too.
Much a complicated plot that isn't a smart one, I mean that in the.
Sense that it could be intelligent and well thought out but by the end.
The story seems to be only about attracting box office receipts. Wasn't.
Also always too keen on the acting side but people such as Hemsworth.
Really start to regain control of that part of the film and stop it.
Fading badly.
For the fan of superheroes or comics, this could be said to be not the.
Best of them but still highly recommend if you really want a lot of.
Action with an epic back story. If your not a fan I would still say go.
And see, it has a certain air of comedic charm which kind of make it.
Feel a bit different to other such films and not always trying to be.
Too serious.
Overall I give this a higher 6/10 and felt It to be Firmly Pleasing and a film.
That never quite loses the aim of the game. My review may seem very.
Negative indeed but in many cases it is not bad, hugely enjoyable in.
Parts, confusing but fun in others this is one Superhero movie that.
Could by the very end, very much split opinion among people.
