Thor: The Dark World is the new film set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and it stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, and Anthony Hopkins. The basic premise is that the Dark Elves have returned and they are being led by Malekith. Malekith wants to use a weapon called the Aether to consume all of the nine realms into darkness (that includes earth too). If anyone that reads this knows me then you'll know that I am a pretty huge geek, specially when it comes to Marvel. Obviously I was geeking out waiting for this movie, and it actually was even better than what I imagined.
The cast is great. Chris Hemsworth owns the role of Thor, and while his character has grown ever since Thor and The Avengers you can still feel the big ego this guy has. He plays the part perfectly and never makes Thor more serious than he needs to be. Natalie Portman is (obviously) fantastic too. Her scenes with Hemsworth were very cool because they actually interacted like a regular couple would. She is even mad at him because he never visited her while he was in New York during the events of The Avengers. Tom Hiddleston is without a doubt the best part of this movie though. He just owns the role of Loki and you never know if you can trust this guy or not. Loki is also humanized, and you actually feel for the dude during the movie. Anthony Hopkins is perfect too. I don't ever think that you'll hear me say Anthony Hopkins didn't do a good job in a movie. The story itself flows well and never gets too complicated which was something I was worried about during the beginning of the movie. One problem I do have though is with the villain Malekith, played by Christopher Eccleston (who does a good job aswell). The villain really isn't interesting at all. You never really know him at all. You only know that he wants to plunge the universe into darkness and that's it. He is actually the most uninteresting villain of the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far.
The action is spectacular in this movie. It is shot extremely well and I think that has something to do with director Alan Taylor who has directed various Game Of Thrones episodes. He really knows how to make all of the action in this movie feel big and epic. The visual effects were amazing and the final battle was simply FANTASTIC. The humour in this movie is also great just like in all Marvel movies. The other cool thing about this movie is the way in which it'll connect to upcoming MCU movies. The mid-credits scene got me extremely excited for what's to come, and a scene half-way through the movie is probably my favorite scene of the year. Thor: The Dark World is one of the best MCU movies yet, and it got me pumped for what's to come. Thor: The Dark World gets a 4.5/5
