The dark world The director of “Game of Thrones”, who picked up the franchise about “Thor”, managed after Shakespeare’s play from Kenneth Branagh to make a real and distinct superhero comic book, against which the first part looks even paler than before against the background of “Avengers” and “Iron Man 2”. The action is literally the whole film, and where not action, there is cocky humor, and performed by almost all the characters. Even the serious Thor himself learned to joke and joke - the best superhero of the Marvel Universe, both Loki and Professor Selvig, and especially Darcy, who always owns the best jokes and humorous scenes of the picture, are annealed in the film. Squealing girls, however, prefer Loki's twists.
Taylor is played in the familiar fantel only in the prologue, when the Trinity of Warriors (quite quickly became a duet for the whole film, because. Hogun remains in his world, which is saved in the opening scene) and Lady Seth, not without help and Thor, save one of the nine worlds from all sorts of diverse enemies, including Algrim of the dark elves, who eventually became the last Curse. The rest of the film the director shoots in the style of “Star Wars”, glowing swords, flying ships, blaster guns and all that.
With action and humor in the picture, the characters also grow and evolve, whether it is the same Loki or the beautiful Jane Foster performed by Natalie Portman. However, their love relationship with Thor badly lacks a love triangle through Seth, this topic in the film sincerely tried to raise, but nothing sensible came out. Well, Darcy, who also hung on Thor in the first film, generally got her own personal intern.
But when it comes to villains, the second “Thor” falls into the script pit, showing its perhaps only weakness. Christopher Eccleston’s Malekite turned out to be the most unworked enemy for all of Marvel’s paintings, his dark elves again are not revealed from any original side, from body movements to motivation to destroy light so that their dark world reigns in all nine worlds. However, in their absolutely identical masks, the elven army looks really sinister threat, which the film cannot take away. However, against the background of such magnificently revealed and massive enemies as the Red Skull or Whiplash, what is there, Malekith is inferior even to Blonsky and Obadiah Stein, a collection of enemies of the sequel leaves only on the brilliant makeup of the Course / Cursed.
The fusion of fantasy and fiction in some places looks rather silly when the army of Odin with swords tries to throw themselves at the dark elves scorching from submachine-machine blasters that descended from the spacecraft, and these are five thousand years old “gods”. However, for Thor comics, this medieval fantasy element has always been a fundamental and distinctive feature, and films would really like to see a fantasy Thor, so such moments are quite forgivable. And Asgardian technologies on the fusion of magic and science, supported by Heidmal, again stunningly played by Idris Elba, look quite interesting. But the fantasy part is extremely lacking all sorts of monsters and monsters. Of all the interesting bestiary, there are only second appearances of a stone giant and another not small creature, whose second appearance is expected in the scene after the credits.
There are a number of really cool things in the film, a few cameos, including the mandatory appearance of Stan Lee, a couple of unexpected deaths, as much as two scenes after the credits (in the middle of the credits and after all), and in general, the maximum claim to the comic style of the film may be the fact that Thor never wears his trademark helmet (since he is a superhero without a mask), however, Loki without his horns... In the rest, Theyor brilliantly coped with the production, presentation of action, editing (especially the escape episode!) One of the best scenes of the year! and shooting.
The plot is catastrophically small Earth. On Earth, in fact, there are only two significant scenes - finding an anomaly and the final run with equipment around enemy spacecraft. Good on Earth is the final scene after the credits, but the best kiss this year claims not the final, and taking place in Asgard in the middle of the film. Well, Portman and Chris Hamsworth are still the coolest movie couple in modern cinema. And I would like to focus even more on the relationship between mortal and “god” (including again the love triangle because of Seth).
"Thor 2" even with a number of shortcomings, still turned out to be one of the best movie comics. It surpassed the first part at times and represents a beautiful spectacular attraction of superheroics. Taylor minimized all the boring vicissitudes between fathers and sons, shifting the emphasis to much more interesting things. Somewhere did not hold, sluggishly revealed the villains and unforgivably little shows the Earth in the plot, but inventive action and interesting scenario finds are constantly pleasing to the eye and surprising. I'd like more Seth, more Darcy, more attention to the Warriors Trinity, maybe we'll see something interesting later in the deleted scenes. Well, the development of a solo franchise on the face, films about Thor are going in the right direction, and Alan Taylor sees great potential for a big movie!
