    Roby Reviews: THOR: THE DARK WORLD


    You thought the first Thor was a… bore? Well guess what! This one isn’t. God that was a dreadful way to open a review, if I have lost your attention, please let your attention come back to me, I promise I won’t put it to waste ever again. Thor: The Dark World marks Marvel’s second film release of 2013, and frankly it’s their best. While I adored Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World really snips the crown for best comic book movie of 2013. Now, I’m Australian, so this review may be a little bias towards Chris Hemsworth, it’s not my fault he’s just so darn dreamy. So without further ado, let’s get insideThor and his dark world… Oh my word, that was bad.


    Now, I’m going to be completely honest with you. I’m not a fan of Joss Whedon. I hate The Avengers, I really do, it’s tacky and it just feels… bloated. It’s like if Kim Kardashian were a film, it’d be The Avengers. But now that I’ve got that off my chest, let’s have a look at Marvel’s latest film. I loved Thor: The Dark World. Basically, without spoiling the entire film, Thor: The Dark World pits everyone’s favourite God, Thor, against the evil Malekith who is threatening to destroy Asgard and every one of the nine realms. Everything about this film had me pleading for more and praying that the end credits wouldn’t hit, and ¾ times I prayed, it worked. Game Of Thronesdirector, Alan Taylor, directs the film so naturally it looks beautiful. The sets are fantastic and some of the special effects and fighting scenes are truly breath taking, I’d love to see what the budget for this film was.


    The acting in this film was top notch, it was nice to see one of the most underrated actors of our time, Ireland’s very own, Chris O’Dowd appear in the film, while it was just fantastic to see everyone reunited once more for the epic sequel. Natalie Portman didn’t annoy me this time around, which is always something to smile about and Tom Hiddleston’s Loki remains to be a great asset to Marvel and their feature films. Chris Hemsworth does a great job as Thor in his third film as the character, with Anthony Hopkins providing the goods as usual. Former Doctor Who star, Christopher Eccleston plays the main baddie in this film, Malekith and he does a excellent job, it’s a shame when it is revealed that Malekith is actually a cheap British actor (drum sound). One thing that really did bug me was the lack of The Warriors Three. I mean, sure we got a lot of Lady Sif (who was played by the brilliant Wonder Woman… I mean Jaimie Alexander) but we didn’t get enough Zachary Levi. When Levi was on screen however… He was cool, but I’m damn sure if he was in it a bit more, I would have liked him a lot more.


    Overall the film was very enjoyable, the two post credit scenes are excellent and well handled and they made me very keen to see what Marvel do with the upcoming Guardians Of The Galaxy. If you live in Australia and have nothing to do for the rest of the week, go watch Thor: The Dark Worldbefore the brash American’s see the film. Or if you’re American, in the words of Nelson from The Simpsons, “ha-ha.” Thor: The Dark World was an excellent and enjoyable fantasy film, with brilliant writing and stunning visual effects, Thor: The Dark World has become my favourite superhero movie of the year, so suck it Snyder.

    RUMOUR: THOR's Jaimie Alexander Has Had Conversations With Warner Bros. For BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN


    What a wild ride it has been for Thor's Jaimie Alexander. A few months ago I started watching a little show called, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, and I was shocked, let me repeat, shocked, when I saw Alexander make a brief guest appearance in season 3. From her guest role in that show, to being a main attraction to the upcoming Thor: The Dark World, Jaimie's career has finally taken off, and she's not done yet. According to Forbes comic book blogger, Mark Hughes (not the former Manchester City manager, cause he'd probably ruin Forbes aswell.) he chatted with Jamie at Stan Lee's Comikaze Convention this past Friday. Hughes posted on his Twitter account, quote; "Jaimie Alexander has been having "conversations" w/ WB/DC. She also knows things a/b BATMAN VS SUPERMAN's story. Do the math..." While this could mean nothing, it doesn't seem like nothing. Alexander has been a fan favourite for the role of Diana Prince/Wonder Woman for quite some time now, and with Angelina Jolie not getting any younger, it seems we may have to settle for Jaimie... Like that's a bad thing. How would you guys and gals feel about Jaimie Alexander taking on the covered role of Wonder Woman? Alexander also confirmed a Thor 3 is on it's way, but on the Wonder Woman rumour. Let me just say... Bring it.

    Kevin Feige Talks Infinity Gauntlet and 'Guardians of the Galaxy' The Collector!


    Lots of Kevin Feige interviews are popping up today from the Thor: The Dark World press junkets. Marvel Studios CEO has teased from Daredevil & Punisher to Dr. Strange and now The Infinity Gauntlet and The Avengers 3! via Screenrant
    "Well, I don’t know that I would spell it out that clearly, necessarily,But certainly fans of the comics could surmise that all of this is leading somewhere. That Joss’ decision to have Thanos turn around and smile for the audience at the end of ‘Avengers’, our reveal, was always the plan.…And where it goes from there, we’ll see… But yes, the MacGuffin of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ certainly plays into MacGuffins of the past."

    Also! FilmINK has some new information on the Mid-Credit scene found in Thor: The Dark World which points to Guardians of the Galaxy co-star Benicio del Toro as The Collector! This would also confirm Guard the Galaxy's scoop from several months ago. A description of both the Mid-Credit and Post-Credit scene should be revealed around 9pm on the 25th when the press embargo is lifted.

    Natalie Portman Denies She Was Forced Into 'Thor: The Dark World'


    This month Thor star Natalie Portman became the cover story of Marie Claire Magazine. Amongst various reports early last year that Portman was reluctant to return to the marvel franchise but was forced due to her contract she finally answers those rumors:


    "No, Chris is, like, one of the greatest people in Hollywood. He's the kind of actor who's so charismatic, he must be tired when he goes home."

    Tom Hiddleston on Loki Solo Film: “There Is No Loki Without Thor”

    In a recent interview, Thor: The Dark World star Tom Hiddleston said That there is “no movement” on a Loki solo film any time soon.
    “The idea of there being a Loki solo film is some kind of compliment and I can tell you there is no movement on it,” Hiddleston told Collider. "But I’d have to have a big brainstorm with Kevin Feige about it, if it ever came around. I do agree with you that Loki defines himself in opposition to Thor. There is not Thor without Loki, there is no Loki without Thor and that’s part of his nature, that he defines himself in opposition to other people. But there also whole narratives in the comics which are huge fun where he goes on his own adventures. To be honest, I don’t know. There are things I’d love to do with him. I’d love to see him out of context, on Earth, in the ’70s, running a nightclub, playing with The Rolling Stones. Those are the hair-brained ideas that I have. Who knows? At the moment, I’ve made three films with Loki and I’m very proud of them and if it ends there, that’s where it ends.”
