After the success of Marvel Avengers Assemble, people are now looking for what events will occur between now and the next Avengers extravaganza.
Earlier in the year, we had Iron Man 3 and now Thor returns from Asgard with a new enemy to face.
The start to me felt a bit too satisfactory, but thankfully that is the worst part of the film. It gradually moves up a gear every so often. There is one part of the film about half way through, where it got me properly hooked and I knew I was watching another enjoyable film from Marvel. With everything slowly cranking up, we are now ready for the final section of the film. It is a CGI fest that will amaze you. Full of action and laughs that will leave you with a smile on your face when leaving the cinema after the bonus scene during the credits which regularly comes from Marvel films.
A lot of performances are as you expected. Chris Hemsworth is as good as he has been as Thor. Natalie Portman, Stellan Skarsgard and Kat Dennings are pretty much as you expect who plays the three mortals who have a friendship with Thor. Christopher Eccleston plays the villain very well. I am huge fan of Eccleston, but he never does as many roles as I feel he should. Anthony Hopkins, is basically being Anthony Hopkins, and Idris Elba is as solid as ever as Heimdall. But the star of the show is Tom Hiddleston as Loki. His witty style of acting works every time for me and he does the best performance out of everyone by far.
Overall, it may not have been anything exceptional, but it still entertained me throughout. If I had to rank it among other Marvel films, I would put it in the middle of the pack. There is still that humor that made all of the Marvel films so successful. There are many twists that might shock you, but if you do look at the small hints throughout, then you will expect the twists which you can impress your friends with. It has the always amusing Stan Lee cameo, and to warn any cinema-goers, it does contain the usual bonus scene during the credits. Unlike the Iron Man 3 one, this one is very important and it might send us into a whole new world of Marvel.
Rating: 7/10
