Chris Stuckmann reviews Thor: The Dark World, starring starring Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgård, Idris Elba, Christopher Eccleston, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Zachary Levi, Tadanobu Asano, Jaimie Alexander, Rene Russo, and Anthony Hopkins. Directed by Alan Taylor.
I totally agree. Loki was by far the best part of this film. I loved the interaction between him and Thor. You got to see them just as brothers again, and it was nice. People were leaving the theater before the credits in my viewing too, and I was just thinking, "Where are you going? It's not over yet!" When will they learn?
funniest scene in the movie Thor walking inside the apartment and hanging his hammer on the close rack.
The captain america cameo was amazing
Chris Evans' cameo outshined Stan Lee's cameo. I think everyone expects a Stan Lee cameo so when the Chris Evans cameo happened it was brilliant. I also agree that Malekith was a very weak character which if a bummer because Christopher Eccelston is a brilliantly talented actor
Completely wasted
My only problem was the lack of character development for the Malekith the Accursed. I wish there were more explanation about his story.
trueeeeeeeeeeee!
***** Oh, the interns were never interesting. Did we seriously need more Jar Jar Binks?
I think regardless of how much time they would have spent on Malekith, Loki would still have stolen the show. Pretty sure it was a conscious decision to make him less interesting because Marvel wants to use Loki even more.
It would've been nice to have at least 5-10 minutes of Malekith's development.
hunterkiller1440 The director said that, for time & budget reasons, over 30 mins were cut from the film.. with only 10 of those mins shown on the Blu-ray.
Hopefully an extended cut will proceed soon .. I still love the movie.
My favorite part is something Chris wished happened in The Avengers, where while Thor is trying to summon Mjolnir, he keeps portaling around the universe..
AND MJOLNIR KEEPS TRYING TO FIND HIM!
Just seeing Mjolnir have to keep changing direction was just hilarious
The last shot with Loki was soo cool.
Tom hiddleston is amazing
Loki is finally king of Asgard.
the big gay
The end end credits scene was nothing special but I can't believe 2/3rds of the theater left after it and I was like "seriously guys, you are leaving right away? Have you not seen any other marvel movie?" Thought it was a pretty good thor film. I just wished that giant ship fell on Kat Dennings (killer of comedy).
7:15 umm, Thor saw straight through Loki's trickery when he went to the dungeon to free him. Thor falling for it at the end shows that Thor is very much controlled by his emotions, not that he falls for a trick every time.
Excellent point. Didn't think about that. Could it be that maybe Thor knew he wouldn't be OK after their mother got killed? He was pretty emotional when he saw through Loki as well as his mother had just been killed. But that does raise an interesting point. I would love to see Loki get a redemption story. Thor speaking highly of him to Odin (Loki). Plus he saw Thor's emotion on him losing his brother again might bring him to the light side again. Question is what did Loki do to Odin. Man so much stuff.
Good point about his mother. I dont know if it was just me, but Thor seemed a lot less emotional for his mother dying compared to Loki "dying", like he didnt care about his mother as much. Im not saying thats the case, it just looked that way to me.
What this could be showing is Thor has trouble controlling his emotions. Seeing right through Loki in his cell was because he was so focused on his plan. At the end, he was torn between not becoming King, Jen, Loki's death, and so on.
***** Here is another question that I have been thinking about. In the end of Thor 2, Loki disguised as Odin told Thor he once said there will never be a wiser king than him. But when Thor said that he was talking to the real Odin. How did Loki know this? Could this be a mistake on the writing? Or maybe was this Lokis plan from the start? Also about the mother yes it seemed he was more hurt by Lokis death than Friggas. I think you are spot on about his emotions.

Good question. My only theory is we dont know where the real Odin is now. So maybe Loki interrogated Odin before impersonating him. This bit of dialogue would be weird to interrogate out of someone, but its the best Ive got heh.
Most quotable line ever... "That basically what Thor is: He hits things with his hammer. And it's awesome." :)
Yeah. . . when Loki cut off Thor's arm so easily with a dagger no bigger than my hello kitty letter opener, I knew it was a ruse to get closer to "Malackith".
For the entire movie I was under the impression that Loki was the real villain. Malackith and his cabana boy, Kurse might have been forefront and current, but I got the vibe that Loki was the biggest threat, as usual.
Loki is great. And I was so happy when he appears at the end. But what bothers me it´s that they lost so many time in the earth and is so boring, I wanna see Asgard and more about the relationship between Frigga, Odin, Loki and Thor. And Natalie Portman is a good actress but in these movies she is so blah… and Sif that is a more interesting character is brushed aside. So in resume I like Loki parts, love his interaction with his family, Tom Hiddleston is amazing and Malekith… he was an uninteresting weak villain and is a shame because for the little that I read in the comics the character gave to more.
I watched that first battle, examined the fight choreography, and immediately had flashbacks of the 90's Hercules/Xena series. Villain: Generic motivation and lackluster presence. Odin: Where in the first one he had some redeeming traits, here he's ignorant, arrogant, hypocritical, unsympathetic, and he does nothing worthwhile. Frigga: Finally, a really kick-ass female character. Sif is overly aggressive, Jane's boring as hell, and Kat Dennings is the goofy side-kick. Frigga has a warm, nurturing nature and she had so much potential. They gave her all of 10 seconds of what could have been a really cool fight scene, and then quickly kill her off. Most importantly: EVERY SINGLE JOKE WAS BAD(except Loki's)
I actually had no idea that Loki hadn´t died until the end, and I was REALLY pissed.
Seriously. Like half my theater got up and left after the credits started rolling. I was like "We've done this dance before for like 5 years now."
Every time that happens I'm like "Pfft, amateurs." Never leave a Marvel movie until the credits are completely done!!
Chris Evans cameo had me in tears it was so awesome that they did that
I really liked the confrontation scene as it really combined the trickster abilities of Loki and the brawn of Thor. They really felt like brothers, and I was like what an awesome team!
I was really gutted when i found out there was a second ending scene, although, as you said, it wasn't that interesting, just knowing that i had missed something is annoying. Especially since I waited through to the Collector scene
all reviews should be spoiler reviews. i personally watch them after I've seen the movie just to see other peoples reactions, its entertaining
I watched Thor: The Dark World yesterday, and for a while after seeing it. I had mixed feelings. I loved it, and felt like there were parts that could have been better. But after watching your review, you pretty much nailed it. I would say that it's better than most of the marvel movies, but still not perfect. Though most of it's flaws can be overlooked by how well it was, and how much Marvel/Disney invested into making it look so good!
Loki told the monster guy to take the stairs, which ultimately kinda most likely led to his mother being killed.. Loki is responsible in some sense for his mom dying as much as the monster guy thingy majigger
The intern who slams the car on top of the elves was funny as hell, Chris.
Your impression of the Collector was spot on and hilarious! xD
I really enjoyed Thor: TDW!! This was way better than the first movie, which is what I was hoping also. Yes, the last end of credits scene is point less!
I don't get all the hate for this movie. It was very fun and the space battle stuff was great and anticipated what we would get with GotG.
It is also much better than the first movie.
I just found it just a bland generic fantasy story the villain was bland you learn nothing about him the mother dies and it has no emotional weight it doesn't further the mythos of Thor if you took Thor the dark world out of the mcu you would miss nothing I fell asleep every time the movie was played I tried to like it but always fell asleep halfway through
+Cristian Villavicencio agreed
I was bored throughout the movie, but it introduced an infinity stone. I don't remember which one because I was bored through out the whole movie.
I fairy liked it, the first act is kinda borning, but it was good when it gets to its third act
After watching several seasons of Face Off, one of my bigger disappointments with Thor 2 is with the Dark Elves. Instead of fancy make-up, we essentially get cookie cutter villains all wearing expressionless masks. It didn't remind me of a Star Trek episode, but more a cheaply done Dr. Who episode.
I liked how Thor combines that almost Tolkein-esque fantasy with the superhero and sci-fi stuff.
Remember, Loki is a God of Deceit and Illusion - so that illusion of Thor's severed hand was created by Loki, showing how his stratagems are key to the victory.
I didn't get anything out of Portman or Denning. When you have a bunch of actors grandly spouting dialogue in Shakespearean accents, then Portman and Denning with their plain American accents just fall flat and look ditzy. Anybody else notice that? Never mix regular American accents with that lovely English Shakespearean stuff - just totally pales in comparison.
I thought this movie had an awesome villain, but I have to agree with you that Loki was a better villain in the first one.
I enjoyed the first one a lot more overall. But still thought this was a great sequel.
Even before that scene revealing the disheveled Loki, we see the guard reporting to him that his mother has died, and then we see Loki quietly turn around, and then the furniture in his cell fly apart in his moment of quiet rage.
I liked how Thor and Loki despite being bitter enemies are united by their desire to avenge their mother, the only bond between them. And then when Loki dies in Thor's arms, then we see Thor crying in pain - and you know both brothers still love one another. I was so glad to see Loki was alive at the end.
A further note - so when that Asgardian scout came back from the shadow realm to report to Odin that he'd found a body, that really must have been Loki in disguise, falsely reporting his death. Didn't click for me at the time.
I've seen the movie countless times and just last times notice the little shine Loki does when using magic and you can see that shine quickly on the scene we see the scout finding "Loki's" body.
I felt that Helmsworth had a better grasp of Thor's character in this movie
I have always thought you can tell who the true Marvel fans are as the ones who sit there through the entire credits. But it's super annoying when halfway through the credits some employee comes in to clean the theater and tries to run everyone out by saying the post credit scenes aren't important. So what, I don't care! You have plenty of time to clean before the next showing.
Gosh Loki's fake death fooled me. The best action scenes where the one on Asgard and the climatic fight between Thor and Malekith. Malekith was not a strong villain but the climax fight was great!!!!! :) Plus the Thor getting his hand cut ruse was badass!!!!!
The soldier was Loki!? Oh my god!! I was so sad when he "died" that I didn't pay attention to the soldier haha xD
They didn't even need to make thor grounded, good thing they learned that with ragnarok
Here is the problem with Malekith. He had a back story all planned out where you would have sympathized with him and his goals. However due to the Loki fans more Loki scenes were filmed and almost all of Malekiths scenes were cut.
I like The Collector, his motives in the comics is that he is a hoarder who like awesome stuff and he's immortal, even better!
Every time I watch a Marvel movie in the theater with my parents I always have to remind them to stay after the credits, even if there are only like 5 of us left.
Your impression, "then why is everything on fire" is hilarious. Thx for the early morning laugh. Caught it again on tv last night. Man! Hemsworth as Thor is awesome. Batman's my favorite character and I wish there was a lightness to his current cinematic character as was in the Nolan movies. Too dark dark dark. Shit......
Am I the only one that wants to see more of Thor with his helmet on? We only see him for a second with it on in the first film and in the comics he always has it on during battle. That's the only gripe I have with this movie which means it was pretty awesome. When Loki appeared to die my wife was like NO! But I knew better. Anyone that can get headed, pick his noggin up off the ground put it back on and start laughing can handle a little impaling.
I actually like the human element of Thor. It has introduced a kind of comedy element to the Thor movies which make them kind of light hearted in parts.
I actually quite enjoyed the scenes with the intern because I find them genuinely funny and really added to the movie as a "comic relief" kind of moment.
That's because the individual MCU films are taking place in the same time line. That's why they never help each other out. Except Hulk I don't know what he's doing.
Thor: The Dark World was a fun movie; the fact that Eurofighter Typhoons were in it was pretty sweet too.
Everyone wants more of Loki!
I don't know why people think the THOR FILMS ARE THE WEAKEST IN THE MCU.Maybe because LOKI is one of my favorite comic book characters and I find the ASGARD mythology so interesting.I love the THOR FILMS
Good spoiler review Stuck. I liked the villan though. He was an odd, creepy little being with a chip on his shoulder. . Kind of the opposite of Loki 's charismatic personality.
How is narration a cop out? The opening of Thor - The Dark World narration reminded me of The Fellowship of the Ring narration intro
I'm only watching the MCU movies now and I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who thinks The Dark World was not THAT bad. I mean... There were lots of problems and things I did not like (basically exactly the ones you mentioned in your reviews), but damn, the Loki scenes were SO good. IMO, the best out of all the films he's been in. If only they had centered the film on Thor's relationship with Loki (and maybe the parents, Odin and Frigga - she deserved so much more development...)!
One scene that I absolutely loved and I think is really underrated: the "escaping Asgard in a spaceship" scene. Loki being the annoying little brother who is exasperated with Thor's attitude, and Thor just trying to ignore him... It was the first time, for me, that they truly seemed like siblings (then we have the same thing in Ragnarok with scenes like "Get Help", but the energy was already there in TDW).
But there are SO many amazing Thor/Loki scenes in this (the prison scene is awesome, the confrontation they have about Frigga is incredible too).
If we don't get the enchantress in Thor 3...this whole thing is fucked...the enchantress should have been around since Thor 1, she is Loki's greatest pawn and a damn interesting character
Chris. Can you tell me why Kurse hesitated and in the end did not release Loki from his cell?
I'm guessing because he looked Asguardian. Just my opinion.
I'd say it was because he realised Loki was not the ordinary run-of-the-mill prisoner. He let out the others to cause a diversion, but he was not sure what Loki would do.
He probably thought that Loki was a threat to his plan.
Yea like Connor said probably a threat to his plan. Funny enough Loki kinda pointed where to go. Maybe had he not said anything Kurse would have been delayed and Frigga would be alive.
So that Thor could later come to Loki and ask him for help. A K A because the script required it...
Wow, I thought you would go a lot harder on this movie. I actually like it
lol that's the same thing i say when i see the people getting up right after the credits start rolling lol.
I highly enjoyed the film. Another fun and entertaining entry in the Marvel Universe.
I really like the movie I'd give it a B. My main problem was the humor. I like comic relief and it is necessary but if you keep making joke after joke after joke eventually you'll get one laugh for ever five jokes
WE NEED MORE SAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Chris, what letter grade would you give "Thor: Dark World"?
Scene 1 of guardians is SO different than the rest of the movie 2013 Chris
I feel like the impersonation trick was a way for the writers to say "seriously, you saw this coming, it happened like 52 times before..." So, I understand how people may be thinking "this happened too much" but honestly, when did we ever think in the final scene "oh yeah, that's Loki", even though the writers hinted at it plenty of times.
'Thor Ragnarok: where is Anthony Hopkins?'
Ah Chris, just when i thought your channel couldn't get any better :)
I am really annoyed with Loki. He's great, but I'm done with his character. I thought his presentation in this film wasn't bad at all, they had him redeem himself in a way...but that freakin end...I am so tired of it. They ended his story respectfully and fully, bringing the whole story full circle. Finally, let's end the film the same way we have already a thousand times before. Loki is bringing Thor down.
Haha the end credits scenes always separate the hardcore fans from the casual viewers. Great review as always Chris
to be honest loki trolling thor is accurate to the actual folk lore not only to the comics. i mean he does it constantly.
Chris Stuckmann did you catch a glimpse of the Infinity Gauntlet in the first Thor movie?
The intern was funny, the "boyfriend" should've been erased from the movie and Darcy should've been the one who calls her.
I loved this sequel so much better then the first!
BTW...I would have liked for them to explore the love triangle between Sif and Jane.
Chris Stuckmann - Do you think the extra credit scene from Guardians... hints that Loki will be somehow still involved with Thanos and be a player in the greater narrative? Sif and Volstagg were ordered to bring the ether to The Collector, presumably by Odin - who is in fact Loki.
I felt the scene was not that great, but it could be they made sure to add that to give us rabid Loki-fans (aka 90% of the audience) some hope that there will at least be cameos by him in future movies.
Best Thor impression ever Chris.
I'd love to see Surtur done as the villain for Thor 3. There was an Avengers animated show that really got the menace behind the character that I would like to see translated to the big screen
Really enjoyed the movie,better than the first one
Lmao I have to see this movie again.... I can barely remember anything and I'm pretty sure I fell asleep for most if not all the action scenes. Don't ever drink tequila, beer, then smoke some weed and go to the movies guys >__
Odin told Loki the only reason he was alive was because of Frigga but that he would never see her again (such cruelty) so when Loki has that conversation in his cell with Frigga, was it just because he missed her so much? It was a revealing conversation so that was sort of odd that she was a hologram. I really enjoyed Thor 2; saw it in IMAX 3D but would prefer IMAX 2D...just hate 3D glasses.
I think jeremy jahns described the end fight as Portal 2 meets Mortal Kombat. That described it perfectly.
I"m really getting tired of Marvel turning every movie into a freaking comedy. I understand that there's a time and place for it but why have a joke every 30 seconds during the climax of the movie?? It just takes away from the intensity and edginess of the ending. The Elfs who destroyed Asgard, can't catch 4 scientist making jokes and running around a campus, i'm so annoyed...I wanted this movie to be a 5/5 not a 4/5
Kurse was such a badass! I loved him and his transformation. I was actually kinda bummed when Loki killed him lol i wanted to see him fight more
What happened to your review of Walking with Dinosaurs from around this time? I used to go to it for lots of laughs snd now it's gone....
I'm glad someone else liked this film.
I know people hated Malekith but for me he was one of the best thing about the movie. Him and Kurse. I really enjoyed how the Dark elves looked and I like the black hole grenades and their technology. Although I did think in the beginning of the movie it kinda looked like a video game. But for me that wasn't such a bad thing
I don't really like either Thor movies, but 2 is my favorite of the 2.
I may be pointing out the obvious here, but at the end of Avengers 1 they had a little snippet of Thanos, but he was never reintroduced in any Marvel movies so far. I wonder if in Guardians of The Galaxy they reintroduce Thanos by having him steal these infinity stones from the collector to get his infinity gauntlet. I also hope that the Silver Surfer makes some sort of an appearance if Marvel does go this route.
9:32 yeh its weird to think that people didn’t know that at one point. I remember wanting to tell ppl to sit back down when I was like 10 years old
Dammit Chris I haven't finished Breaking Bad yet!!!
The movie was not that bad it has a great story it just felt like it did not have fun
I kind of saw everything coming in this movie with the exception of Loki posing as Odin. I knew Loki was alive but I thought he would observe rather then take the throne
Loki carries two Thor movies in a row. I wonder how Ragnarok will turn out? Honestly I feel like the Thor films are the weakest out of the MCU series.
Krusiv I have to agree, it sucks because Thor and that whole universe is could be so awesome.
+Krusiv Hmhmm. Yeah, it's like people completely forgot about Iron Man 2 and 3 ....
+EliteRocketBear that were fun
+Krusiv 1st thor is great, second one sucks
Chris how about a review of the new Raid 2 trailer!!!
The Avengers or at least SHEILD could have tried to helped when Malikith and The Either is on earth couldn't they?
loved the cameo of Cap
At Jose V. Maybe it's just that not all of us feel like sitting through credits just to see some pointless extra scene. Probably it.
I was underwhelmed.
It relied alot on comedy which got annoying fast. The story was kind of... meh. And Darcy and the intern were awful.
As for Loki does he HAVE to be in every Thir related movie? He was funny and all but again constant humor just takes me away from the movie. Just fangirl fuel.
It was okay I thought Loki was awesome but Kat dennings could have been removed and no one could of told the difference. Fun movie but weak villain.
I think they kept Loki dead long enough because if they did keep him dead to long you would be to focused on wetter they were stupid and kept him dead our if he made it out or maybe you would be focused on how he survived. I ,for one, thought that the time we did have enough time to compensate Loki's death and it was pretty surprising. Also (on a side note) I thankfully didn't read your spoiler article and was pretty supposed by Thor's hand bring cut off. Good movie all and all.
Boy oh boy Ragnarok is going to blow this trilogy out of the water!
Looks like one of the best superhero movies in a while.
Great review
I loved his quotes before the battle
Hey Chris, just wondered if you noticed how the Aether crystallized when Thor tried to destroy it? It raised an eyebrow when I saw it, that scene cemented the theory that The Aether was actually the Power gem & the tesseract was the Space Gem....HMMMM!
As comics go, Aether = Power Gem, Tesseract = Infinity Cube and Space Gem =/= Tesseract. As the collector said in the mid credits; 1 down 5 to go. Time, Reality, Space, Mind and Soul is still out there.
AkumetsuVER4 cool.
its definitely better than the 1st one.. the villain too is really not that intimidating/villainy enough.. im just wondering though how come kurse can deflect thors hammer :D..
