My overall opinion: I enjoyed it so much! Do take into account that I’ve only seen the first Thor movie once and that was almost two years ago. I do intend to watch it again someday – I just haven’t gotten around to it yet. All in good time. However, despite comparing this one to a movie I haven’t seen for two years, I think this one was better – the graphics etc were amazing, the story kept me watching, it was just plain a good movie. Really good. Now, here we go on a few things I made notes to write about…because that’s how I do some movie reviews.
BE WARNED – THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. I HAVE WARNED YOU.
Darcy that girl: Apparently
acted by Kat Dennings. She was awesome. She was just random and sometimes so
annoying and such a pain and still so cute and fun and awesome and best of all –
funny! Yeah, I really liked her. A lot. She was one of my favorite parts of
this movie. Mother: Oh, she was so sweet. Thor and Loki’s mom? Yup, her. I barely remember her from the first movie, but she was so lovely and elegant and such an amazing fighter. Her (I told you there would be spoilers…you’d better stop reading if you don’t want them) but her death was so sad…definitely the most touching and sad part of the movie. How her sons acted towards her made me sad. But she seemed like a beautiful woman inside and out. And did I mention I loved her fighting skills? I did.
Clothes: I really
enjoyed seeing the clothes on a few of the characters in this film. Most
notably, Thor and Loki’s mother had some lovely blue dresses that I am quite in
love with. Then too, Jane had some pretty flowy dresses – and let’s face it, I’m
really in love with Thor’s red cape. Because if I could have a cape/cloak like
that? My life would be complete. Well, not quite, but seriously, it’s really
cool. Thor in general: What to say? I can’t write a review without mentioning him. He was a good hero, a little stupid at times, but hey – he’s Thor, what do you expect? ;) My favorite thing about him this time through was his voice. So deep, so rough, so Thor. I loved it. A lot. Listening to it for two hours? Wasn’t hard at all. And he’s not bad to watch for two hours either. I’m pretty sure they threw in one scene towards the beginning just to make the teenage girls swoon, and honestly, he’s a little too ripped for my personal preference. But I legitly don’t have any problem watching him on screen on a couple of hours. Oh he’s got problems for sure. But all in all, he’s super awesome. I think.
Clown elves: For those of you who may not know, I can’t stand clowns. At all. I hate them. A lot. Like, a huge lot. So the elves who had faces that were almost like clowns were really freaky, especially the eyes. It wasn’t as bad as Dark Knight, but we all know from Lord of the Rings that that’s not what elves look like, silly. Not even bad elves. So yeah, I didn’t like the clown elves at all. But I suppose they weren’t bad as far as villains go.
Endings: For
those of you who went to see it, did you see BOTH endings? Because guess what –
not only does Marvel add ONE ending during the credits, they added two, same as
in Avengers. Thankfully, some people
clued us into that and we stayed all the way through the second extra ending.
Make sure you do, especially if you like happy endings, because that one is and
it made me happy. Very happy. Extra endings are cool.
So, there you have it – what I thought of Thor 2. Have you seen it? What’d you
think? Comment and tell me! :) And just a word to the wise, long comments are
my favorites. :)
