Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaChris Hemsworth grew out his hair for over a year to have more authentic long hair, rather than use a wig, like he had to do in Thor (2011).
- GoofsIn their escape, Thor didn't tell Loki that they were going to abandon the big ship and jump to a smaller ship. This small ship barely fit into Loki's secret pathway. If Loki thought they were going to continue on in the big ship, he would have known that there was no way they could escape through the secret pathway and never would have gone on with the plan.
- Crazy creditsThere is a scene at the end of the closing credits: Thor returns to Earth to be with Jane... and the monster that came to Midgard is still running around.
- ConnectionsEdited into Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Featured review
All style, no substance
The acting was solid. The production value was superb. Everything else was really poor.
The back story and character motivations are laughably sparse. Most of the characters are completely one-dimensional, with the possible exception of Loki. The plot is the most boring and typical of all action plots - some "bad dudes who happen to be really ugly" decide to "destroy the world for no reason other than being evil" and "only our hero can save us all", etc. Moreover, it was lazy writing - whenever an absolute miracle needed to happen, it conveniently did, every time.
Of course this is a mindless blockbuster Marvel movie so we shouldn't expect much. But the thing is that these kinds of films CAN be made with a reasonable plot, pacing, and character development. The writers were obviously just going through the motions to cash in on the surefire moneymaker sequel, and from a business perspective it is hard to fault them. But it says a lot about the sad state of Hollywood in 2013 that this film currently has a 7.7 on IMDb.
