It actually felt like a living, breathing place. Much more beautiful in this movie than the first. While the throne room may not look as grand, there is even more grandeur in the entire realm of Asgard now than before. Even the Bifrost looks better this time around. I had no complaints at all with Asgard. They did it justice in TDW...just some jaw-dropping visuals. Did you see Yggdrasil? It was amazing.
