GOD THIS MOVIE WAS AWESOME!

God... I see what you did there



You apologize to me, I will beat you to death

Imho Captain America is superior to both thor movies put together...

I agree with the OP pretty much about everything.

I also think Iron Man's arogance is too much over 3 movies. Captain America I couldn't get into. I think it was partly because he takes everything sooooo seriously, and as you say no sense of humour. So I found it harder to empathise with his character and personally invest in him.

Where as Thor is exactly how I want my warrior to be. He enjoys himself whether in battle or with his friends, and is a true leader. The sort of guy you'd like to hangout with.

While I do agree that this film is exceptional, I very much disagree that "Captain America has no sense of humor, stale, and boring." I think after The Winter Soldier, even the OP will be changing his mind.

Lol you know I liked the movie before I read this, but I guess I have to change my mind on the film now :(

Researchers at Cambridge have found a natural way to boost testosterone. Try watching both Thor movies back to back to take your performance to the next level. It worked in 96% of those they tested.

I really, really, really have to take issue with "wonderful script".

I don't think of the movie as bad, but after a second viewing I really do believe it's one of the worst Marvel movies thus far.

Before I get negative let me just again point out that I did enjoy the movie. The art direction in particular is really great, and most of my willingness to ignore the flaws, sit back and turn my brain off stems from that. It's just a cool movie to look at - the Dark Elves, Malakith's ship, the different realms, Kurse, etc.

But wonderful script? Definitely not. In no particular order, here's what I didn't like

- the complete lack of explanation in regards to the Aether and how it affects Jane. I mean, I understand that MacGuffin's exist, but come on. She goes through the portal, just happens to be in front of the stuff the villain is looking for, it enters her body, and....? 'The energy will consume her'? Really, movie?

- uneven tone. I like that the Thor movies are funnier than expected. Enjoyed the fish out of water stuff in the original, and this movie is worth watching, if for no other reason, for 'space is fine' and 'Jane? Darcy? Erik? Ian? Mewmew!' But the movie doesn't know when to be serious and when to be funny, seemingly cramming it all into every scene.

- lack of characterization. Obviously none of the Marvel movies are going to win Oscars for their scripts, but most of the movies have done a good job with giving their characters arcs. In the original, Thor went from being brutish and insolent to a more tempered, wise person. We get almost nothing from him here, he doesn't grow or change in any way. The moment at the end where he turns down the kingship of Asgard is so out of left field and unearned. Nothing that happened to him in this movie would have taught him any sort of lesson about what is is to be a king or rule.

I could go on. As I said, ultimately I like the movie. But it's saved by being pretty and having charismatic, well cast actors. Story-wise, there's nothing here.
