I saw nothing in the film that 95% of action blockbuster with comedy don't have.

Again, humour is execution dependent. I don't know why IM3 keeps being brought up, the humour in that film was hit and miss. There's nothing wrong with having humour, but it should be in the context of the film not thrown in just for the sake of laughs. I don't have much problem with the humour personally, but there were times it really killed the tension. There comes a point where it can ruin movies because it means the film isn't taking itself seriously.

Humor doesn't ruin this movie. I don't see how anyone can walk away saying so. Are there a couple of places where you'd prefer it not to be, yeah. But ruin is a big word and even when I was like WTF it didn't make me leave the theater saying ASSHATS YOU RUINED THOR! I walked out thinking yeah, he's bad ass and I can't wait for TA2 and Thor 3. Of course I love Thor so maybe I'm biased. LOL

Just saw the movie. Best CBM of the year, IMO.
That final scene was crazy. |

No I didn't write a review per se. I'm not eloquent enough for that nor do I have the time. LOL I will say this...my audience didn't laugh any more than they did for the first Thor. I do think there were at least 2 places where the humor was too quick but it never left me feeling like the movie was hurt by trying too hard. I do think editing was an issue but not enough to limit enjoying this film. BigThor I've seen you here enough to know that I think you're gonna be happy with this movie. Will you want it to give birth to your children, no. Will you be happy marrying it, yes. LOL IMO Thor comes out looking like a boss. End of story. |

I can't speak for others however I can understand where others may be coming from. The last act of the film is kinda where it feels the most out of place, seriousness gets offset by some eye rolling goofiness. Frankly if people have issues with the humour I think it comes back to the first act of the film being choppy with mishandled plot points. Ultimately some pretty serious things happen that are glossed over from Act 2 onwards. The irony I think is that had the humour not been present the film would have been a lot worse because it kinda covers the flaws in the story.

Once again BigThor is continuing his tradition of slamming members who have a negative response to the film. But when a poster gives a positive comment about the film, he would be all smiles and positivity.

Honestly, even though I haven't seen the film yet, I haven't heard much about what Thor's own personal journey in this film is other than reconciling his relationship with Loki (well from his POV anyways) and exploring his relationship with Jane.
I mean, does he have his own personal arc that doesn't involve either of those two like how Tony had his issues regarding learning to live without depending on his suits? |

What other issues can Thor possibly have at this point?
He has Mjolnir, he's going to become king, and he can fly. What other arc are you expecting at this point? |

Heck, another arc that I was hoping to hear more about would be him being torn between wanting to stay and protect Earth more and not be on asgard as much, etc...maybe even a bit war weary and wondering if there's ever an end. |

And I don't feel any huge connection between Thor/Jane in this movie unlike in the first one. Thor and Jane probably wouldn't have seen each other if it wasn't for that red smoke.

You might have written a more complete review that I've missed ...
1) "Frankly if people have issues with the humour I think it comes back to the first act of the film being choppy with mishandled plot points. " ???? Would the astrophysicist streaking near stonehenge be funnier or forgiven if the first act was tighter? 2) "Ultimately some pretty serious things happen that are glossed over from Act 2 onwards." Specifically.... the mother's death? Thor and Loki's escape? Heimdal's betrayal? 3) "The irony I think is that had the humour not been present the film would have been a lot worse because it kinda covers the flaws in the story." You mean the points above? |

Pretty much. If anything I actually think the humour works in the films favour, because if it was played straight faced the film would have been easy to pick apart. I'd go so far to say the reaction would be more Man of Steel like. |

This film is a bridge film to get to the final showdown between Thor and Loki. Marvel had to just had to get to this ending, hoping many wouldn't really notice that this film doesn't really mean anything in the grande scheme of things. It should've meant something, considering what actually happens in the picture. But, the film is in such a rush to get to that ending that we don't get the true payoffs that the film really wants. But again, the cast sells the hell out of this story, so that makes it really watchable, even with the misplaced humor. |

Also, you're being kinder than I am, this is what I wrote on my review: Thor 2: The Dark World is what one would get if Man of Steel and Chronicles of Riddick got together, ****ed, and then somehow made a baby that managed so synthesise the worst of both of them and none of the good. |

Because the action in the 2nd half of Man of Steel is unrelenting. That film, as much as I love that damn thing to death, is a tale of two halves. With no real balance of levity within the second half of that picture, plus people's problems with the depiction of said action and the character of Superman, you can see why Man of Steel got the worse reviews.
I think Man of Steel is easily a better picture than The Dark World but it doesn't surprise me it's getting better reviewed. Marvel has the ball rolling and people like the tone of the Marvel films. They are family films. Pure entertainment. |
