By the bristling beard of Odin!
The Story:
Thor (Chris Hemsworth) has been busy restoring order to the 9 Worlds since the events of New York (see: The Avengers. No really, you should really see that movie!) But dark forces are gathering to eliminate the 9 worlds from existence!
Can Thor stop them?
Not without a little help from...
Loki (Tom Hiddleston) !!
That's all you're going to get from me during the opening weekend.
: )
I will say that like most Phase One movies, Phase Two doesn't miss a beat by replacing directors. Alan Taylor takes the helm, and brings the Norse Legends to life, all the while taking a "comic book" movie and embracing the science fiction aspects of it.
And it works!
I liked the first Thor.
I liked this Thor even more.
To quote VeggieTales in summing up this movie:
"I laughed. I cried. It moved me, Bob."
Just about all of the original cast returns, to varying degrees of use within the film. Anthony Hopkins, Rene Russo, Natalie Portman, Idris Elba...
Good stuff.
If the ending is any indication, I am looking forward to seeing what Thor 3 has to offer.
Final Grade: A-... it will probably upgrade to a pure A when I review it again on DVD. :)
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: When does it come out on Blu-Ray already???!!!
