I absolutely loved this movie, lots of action and lots humor, well balanced and written. Malekith was pretty awesome, Eccleston did an fantastic job as the villain.

The Dark Elves looked freaking creepy.

I dug it too and glad I stayed for the two extra scenes ( one during and one after credits ) even though the goobs turned the lights on at the theater.

I just have to say that Thor: Dark World is awesome! Loki rox, Stan's scene was hilarious, "What's with all the shoes?" *lol*, Eccleston really didn't do much as Meleketh but he was still good.
Spoiler:
Loved the part where Loki transformed into Capt. America


I saw it in 3D even tho I didn't plan on it. The theatre messed up. We'd all payed to see it in 2D but a min into the movie the projection booth (and we in the audience) noticed something was off (the screen was blury, I was looking around wondering if anybody was wearing glasses). They turned off the movie for a couple min while they distributed FREE 3D glasses and apologized for the mess up. Course I over heard some folks behind me complain "I didn't wanna see it in 3D..." Wee!

It was ok. About what I expected out of a Thor movie. Nothing spectacular (like Avengers) and very predictable, but it was entertaining and I don't regret going.

Didn't expect them to kill off Thor's mom. Was kinda emotional, especially when Loki off all people was grieving over her loss, though I recall from the first film he was more closer to her than to Odin so that shouldn't be a surprise.

Funny how this marks the second time Thor thinks Loki is dead and by the end, I can only imagine what happened to Odin....

I definitely enjoyed this film far more than Iron Man 3. They actually had me at the end of the movie, as I wasn't expecting that (but glad it happened because he is one of my favorite characters). Although I did not understand the significance about the first bonus scene with "the collector". Who the heck is he and what is special about him and what he was doing? I didnt get it...

Saw it last night. It was rad ass.

Huge improvement over Thor, as well as IM3. I was kind of worried about Phase 2 for a minute there.

Basically
Spoiler:
There are six Infinity Stones/Gems, and Thanos needs them all to power the Infinity Gauntlet so he can kill everyone. I'm guessing the Aether is power and the Tesseract is space.

non-spoiler impressions

Saw it and Ender's Game in a double feature. It was a lot better than Ender's Game, IMO.

I'd say it tops the first Thor as well. For me, I'd rank it close to The Avengers, Iron Man 1 and X-Men First Class. So yeah I found it really enjoyable.

The villains took some time to grow on me, didn't find them all that compelling but I did love their designs. But Loki is there to help balance things out.

LOVE the character interactions, they are really making the most out of their cast in this one. Everything was perfect. Lots of off-world (non-Earth) sequences too which I really dug a lot. Climax delivered and had an interesting dynamic to it, really set it apart.

FYI, there are TWO credits scenes so make sure you stay for both (yeah, It's a Marvel film so you usually always expect at least 1, but don't miss them!)

The Collector is one of the Elders of the Universe. Basically, he collects stuff - specimens of every species of plant & animal life. He's going to be a major player in the Guardians of the Galaxy film (as are the Infinity gems).

I love it though I prefer the first movie more. The villain Malekith or whatever black elf that was, he was boring. Other than that the movie is epic.

I just watched the movie last night after I got off from work. Like the first film, I enjoyed it for what it was. My friend from school didn't like the first film because she thought it was nothing more but a chick flick. I gotta say though, the ending with Loki caught me by surprised when in reality, I should have knowed that he'd lived. Loki (or Tom Hiddleston I should say), has a lot of fans, especially females who are attracted to him.

Spoiler:

Not really. I only said that as an assumption that he may have killed Odin, but having a major character like him be killed off-screen seems like an odd if unsatisfactory way to do it. But I also can't see Loki put Odin in jail since 1) Loki doesn't seem like he'd be merciful enough to keep his "dad" around because of their estranged relationship and 2) Putting him in jail would not only be OOC for him for already stated reason, but not putting some sort of disguise or trick so guards won't recognize him will arouse some suspicion that the Odin in charge is an imposter.

Thor 2 was alright, not a terrible movie, but not one of Marvel's best.

It wasn't their best, but it was certainly ONE of Marvel's best!

Spoiler:
So many things happened, I don't know where to begin, but it's really hard to share opinions on this movie without putting in spoilers. First off, I didn't expect them to kill off Thor's mom like that. It gives a much bigger back story to both Thor and Loki.

Even more surprising was when it looked like Loki had betrayed Thor (which didn't quite surprise me), but Loki had really changed. Right when he (even MORE surprisingly) gets killed. Then they find this extremely impressive and creative way to make a battle with those anomalies.

Lastly, DOSE ENDINGS. Loki actually ISN'T dead and takes the throne of Asgard. Wut? Here's my theory on that: When Thor and Loki went to the Dark World, Loki was really Odin, and Odin was killed, not Loki. I don't know, it's just a guess, and I see how it's flawed. Also, apparently there are six destructive gems. These include the Tesseract and the Aether, which was present in the movie.


Non-Spoiler opinions:
- The comedy in this movie was great!
- Like I said in spoilers: They have great creative ways to do action scenes!

Lastly, is it just me or does Darcy sound a lot like Mabel from Gravity Falls?
