Review: THOR: The Dark World (MOVIE / 2013)
The second "Marvel Phase 2" movie hit theaters this last weekend and like Iron Man 3 before it, we are treated to an amazingly fun film. Everything that you have come to expect from Marvel's films is here, and even though it met all of my expectations I was still surprised by what they were able to do.
Where I felt the first Thor did a serviceable job of introducing us to this unique universe, it was a very disjointed film. Like many sequels before it, The Dark World thrives on the fact that we do not have to have so many heavy handed moments of exposition to explain what's happening. Instead we are treated to a well paced, clever and much more technically sound movie (the increased budget is very noticeable). Even more surprising is the amount of laughs to be found in a movie called "The Dark World".
