slothian Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Does that count as one of Chris Evans movies in his 6 movie contract? If it does it doesn't feel worth it. The scene was amazing, but is it worth him asking for a kagillion dollars for the final Cap or Avengers movie now? Probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scene was amazing, but is it worth him asking for a kagillion dollars for the final Cap or Avengers movie now? Did the end scene cameo from Samuel L Jackson count? That should answer your question. Also, Marvel is notoriously cheap. If there was a way to not make it count, they would do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathryn Slater Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 So I've just come back from seeing it (and bare in mind I've not read any of the comics - although I do plan to start at some point) and I really enjoyed it. It seemed to me the Marvel was at it's best again as Iron Man 3 really wasn't good. Loki was completely and utterly awesome that scene where they are flying away from Asgard and the two of them are arguing is brilliant. They are just brothers at that point, enjoying the argument and the banter. Also it's going to destroy Thor when he learns aout Loki being alive, becuase he 'died' a good man. And what's happened to Odin? But I have a question, what's the deal with Jane's character - I don't get it, she doesn't seem to have any character past being the love interest and it annoys me. Please tell me that I'm missing something important here I get that she's supposed to be a scientist but that's just so she meets Thor. But seriously, she knows him for about a week and then goes all mopey and does nothing FOR TWO YEARS because he left her again, and doing nothing includes not doing any of her work to the point where her intern needs an intern. SERIOUSLY???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 But I have a question, what's the deal with Jane's character - I don't get it, she doesn't seem to have any character past being the love interest and it annoys me. Please tell me that I'm missing something important here No, that's pretty much it. Originally, when Thor had a secret ID (physician Don Blake), Jane was his nurse. She's (I believe) a doctor herself now in the comics, but historically has been a nonentity. Stan and the Bullpen were good at lots of stuff, but strong female characters were not really their thing. That said, in Thor: The Mighty Avenger (which you should read now), Jane is a very fun character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 I wouldn't agree that Jane does nothing for two years. She's searching for a bridge between worlds, and whilst Thor is a huge part of why it's also what she was doing before she ever knew he existed. Regardless of Thor I think she would be doing this work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Just got back from watching. I enjoyed it. - I loved the use of the nine realms. I want to see more of them tho, specially Asgard. - Comedy. While some (or most) of it works, I did feel that it was a little much at points. - I want more Sif & The Warriors Three. Cut out most of the on Earth comedy and their is plenty of time. - Heimdall is awesome. - The final battle felt epic, but the dark elves were weak villains. To be honest, they kinda feel like the baddies in the CGI TMNT movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 So I went into this movie having heard a resounding "meh" from others, and thus expected it to be a serviceable-if-unimpressive movie. I also didn't much like the first Thor film, so I wasn't exactly ecstatic to see more. I was very pleasantly surprised with The Dark World. Tons of fun action at every turn with just enough emotion to make it matter. It's not on the upper tier of the Marvel films (Iron Man, Cap, Avengers), but for me The Dark World sits right below it. It's not going to change the superhero movie world, but it's a really fun action-heavy superhero epic. That mid-credits scene, though: what? Was that really necessary? Why did they put that one in mid-credits but leave the other bits for post-credits? Most of my theater stayed for the mid-credits scene, collectively went "what the frak?", then left before seeing the last scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 In short, I loved it. One of Marvel's best and puts to shame the bland first effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 It was pretty okay. A lot to like about it, some flaws (KAT FUCKING DENNINGS), but overall, a B, maybe B+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Also, why did they basically cut Hogun the Grim out of the movie? The Warriors Three need their straight man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I see no flaws in Kat Dennings. Didn't see the movie, btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I haven't seen it yet, but I personally like Kat Dennings. She's on arguably the worst TV show currently on the air, but it's not terrible because of her. She wasn't overused and was fairly amusing in the first one.

Dread Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 She, like every character, has something to do in this movie. It's shoehorned in, and could certainly have been cut out in favor of cooler characters getting a bigger spotlight, but she at least wasn't useless again.

Molly Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 She's annoying as fuck, and she got an arc, while the Warriors Three and Sif did dick-all. ...Plus most of the run time had her in heavy coats, so the bewbs weren't exactly a factor.

True on the coats. The only glaring issue with the Warriors Three was Hogun. Not sure why they did all that. But, I don't see a problem with the other members who had a great bunch of screen time during the battles. Movie Thor has a fuckload of a supporting cast and I think the film balanced it pretty well.

KnightWing Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 My only major issue with the use of the cast is that the Jane/Thor relationship is more than a little bland and vapid. Honestly, Sif, in her few moments with Thor in The Dark World, has way more of an interesting relationship with him. Jane just stares at Thor like a lovestruck thirteen-year-old and he just seems to think she's cute. They really should drop the Jane/Thor pairing, but I doubt they will. Marvel Studios values audience satisfaction a bit too much to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
