Thor: The Dark World

*Warning*

Okay, I went to watch Thor with my friends Saturday and it was amazing. So I'll try to give a review that I think is worthy.

 Having overcome exile and battling his power hungry brother in the first 'Thor' movie, then teaming up with a bunch of crazy, dysfunctional superheroes to protect New York & Earth but mostly New York from an alien invasion led by the same psychotic brother in 'The Avengers', and finally our favourite Mjölnir wielding God; returns to fight an old enemy of the family in 'Thor: The Dark World.'

Chris Hemsworth slips back into his Asgardian armor as he prepares to take on The Dark Elves in this ridiculously complicated story. We start with a flash back to the past with a battle between the darks elves and Thor's grandfather (Narrated by Anthony Hopkins as Odin) . The Asgardians win, of course; saving the universe from total darkness. Then we flash back to the future; where Thor's love interest Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), has discovered some abnormal stuff related to the nine worlds, etc. Anyway while Jane's investigating she stumbles through a rift and comes across a powerful energy source which is in a liquid-esque form that attaches itself to her being.

  

It's not all bad though... She now has a reason to reunite with Thor! Although in doing so; she awakens the dark elves, whom are hot on her heels as it's the energy source they need, to power the weapon which will bring the universe into total darkness.

Thor takes Jane back with him to find out what was wrong with her. Meanwhile the dark elves prepare their attack on Asgard; to find Jane. After the attack, many have been injured or worse... This includes Thor's and Loki's mother who is killed moments before Thor could save her. The elves leave but will soon attack again.

After being forbidden to take Jane and lead the dark elves' leader Malekith (Christopher Eccleston) away to attack him, as Asgard's defences are down. He is left with no choice but to reunite with his unreliable brother; Loki (Tom Hiddleston), who is currently locked away in the prisons of Asgard. Thor must convince Loki to help; though after his mother's death it is a lot easier as Loki wants vengeance. Now... Thor must not only protect Jane, but also foil the plans of Malekith.

After a tiring battle; which doesn't quite go to plan. The group are left with no other choice but to find another way to Earth; which they oh-so coincidently find. They get back to earth and have a huge battle in London. Thor eventually wins of course... Once the battle has died down there are some major plot twists. Which I can't tell you; because it would ruin everything. But if, and when you watch it; you'll probably have a 'what the hell' face.

I thought the film was a beautiful masterpiece for the eyes; in which I mean the CGI was craft-fully done, with amazing skill. Everything looked so real and the sound effects were very precise. There were a lot of comedy moment throughout the film; many from Loki, like just after they escape and he keeps turning into random people; Captain America, being one. I've only watched this film once and I was in complete awe throughout. So I might have made some basic mistakes, but overall I think it was a great experience. I loved it a lot more than the first film, but that had to explain everything about Thor; so it was understandable. There was a great balance of action and plot-development.

If you love superheroes, or you just like aliens and action, what ever the reason; I think you should watch this movie at least once. Unless you really hate the theme/plot of the movie or it doesn't fit your sense of humour, I think there will be at least one thing you'll like about this movie.

I hope at least one of you will be inspired to watch this.
