Review Thor: The Dark World

Thor: The Dark World
Directed By: Alan Taylor
Staring: Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston and Anthony Hopkins

Last night I experienced Thor: The Dark World in Imax 3D and it was, dare I say, MARVELous…sorry I couldn’t help myself. All puns aside, Thor: The Dark World was better then I expected it to be.

Thor: The Dark World starts off very intense and really keeps that epic battle feel going, as well as taking you on an emotional ride throughout the film. The cast is great I am a die-hard fan of Anthony Hopkins and he is featured much more in this film than the first. Natalie Portman continues to stun in the overall perfection she is. Of course there is the “sex appeal” of Chris Hemsworth but in my opinion he is not that great of an actor, nor is he that attractive. I am more of a fan of Tom Hiddleston both for looks and acting ability and this film was no exception.

The score was great and very fitting to the film; it provided the viewer understanding on a deeper level as needed with any score. The special effects and graphics where also nicely done as well as the makeup. The 3D was sadly underwhelming though. If it weren’t for wearing those gaudy glasses I would have forgot this film was 3D to be quite frank.


Although I would not waste your money for the 3D version of Thor: The Dark World I would definitely recommend seeing this in the theater. Also I recommend staying for both sets of credits to see some extra scenes. In my book this film earned itself 3 out of 5 stars.
