Are there enough Marvel movies or what? In all honesty they
all seem to be melding together, at least in my mind. Disney’s attempt to
create this “Marvel Universe” has sort of made all these movies look and feel
familiar. Take for instance the trailer for the new Captain America movie.
Doesn’t it just sort of look like Iron Man or The Avengers but only starring
Captain America? This homogenizing of superhero films is both fascinating and
irritating. Having said all that I have deemed “Thor: The Dark World” a success
mostly because it offers enough charming qualities though it doesn’t quite do
enough to make it stand out amongst its superhero movie brethren.
Most people will want to know whether “The Dark World” is
better than the first "Thor" which was unleashed on audiences not very long ago
in 2011. (Is it just me or does it seem like there’s a Marvel movie every 6
months?) I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily “better” or “worse” than its
predecessor. The plot involves some ancient evil elves who prefer life in the
dark and want to destroy the universe. Some CGI gooey stuff (referred to here
as “Aether”) that resembles the black alien life form in "Spider-Man 3" is being
sought out to help make this happen. It actually ends up infecting Natalie
Portman’s character Jane Foster who we remember from the first film as a
too-pretty astrophysicist. Ms. Foster fell in love with the hunky blonde from
above called Thor (Chris Hemsworth) who helped save the world not only in the
first film but in the “The Avengers” movie as well. There are bad guys whose
names or species I can’t quite recall. I don’t really care. I gather most won’t.
Thor must call upon his evil adopted brother Loki to not only help save the
universe, but to save the movie with his wit and charmed helped by actor Tom
Hiddleston.
As someone who doesn’t always quite “get” movies set in
fantastical places I found myself sort of lost. Oh my,I thought, is this
going to be another John Carter? But as the film began to finally focus on
the earthling characters including perky intern Darcy (Kat Dennings), her new charismatic
intern Ian (Jonathan Howard), and the undoubtedly crazy Erik Selvig (Stellan Skarsgård)
who runs around Stonehenge in the nude, the film found a comforting balance of
fantasy and reality. And by golly there is actually some chemistry between
Hemsworth and Portman (enough to make a silly throwaway post-post-credits scene
worth staying for). The film takes a cue from "Star Trek Into Darkness" by having
the heroes call upon a bad guy who actually defeat someone far more evil. There’s
a reason why Loki is considered one of the best Marvel villains.
I enjoyed “Thor: The Dark World” even if I didn’t exactly grasp every
single plot point. I found it got better as the film progressed. There’s a fun
sense of humor that sort of feels like leftover jokes from The Avengers, but
still gives the film the lively kick it needs. I’m not the biggest fan of Thor
in general (most of my previous knowledge of the character comes from “Adventuresin Babysitting”) but I gather the fans will be pleased with this entry. While
it tries to emulate the standards set by the Iron Man films this series hasn’t
quite reached the quality of those films. For what it is “Thor: The Dark World”
is a decent entry in a whole conglomerate of films that is struggling to make themselves
distinct enough to be worth remembering. GRADE: B
