Alright now for my review thing on Thor: The Dark World
There are spoilers under the cut so PLEASE do not read ahead if you do not want to be spoiled.
Okay. So Thor: The Dark World.
To be honest, I've been putting off this review for a few days because I don't like to dwell too much on thinking about the movie because it makes me pretty emotional. I suppose I'll start this all off by telling about my experience during the first time I saw it.
So the theater I went to was showing the movie at 8:30 and all day I had been freaking out and on the verge of a mental breakdown, but there I was, finally in my seat, finally about to see the movie I'd been waiting so many months for.
Now, I'm not even exaggerating when I say that the second the lights dimmed down (before the previews started) I started crying. Why? I have no idea really. I just started crying so hard. I think it was nerves. I'm not sure. But I was sat there crying all through the previews and I felt a little dumb, but hey, I don't really care (I mean come on, I've been waiting so long for this movie so I think it's a little understandable).
Okay so now that that's taken care of, now for the movie itself review (and please note that I am no good at movie reviews and this probably shouldn't be taken extremely seriously and I'm also going to try to go through the movie scene by scene from what I can remember).
First off, the Marvel opening screen thing. Look, I'm all for change and all, but it was kind of sad to see the opening logo to be all different since all the Marvel movies have the same opening screen. But hey, it's just a logo, and that was the least of my worries.
Opening scene/ Odin's version of a bedtime story-
I kind of like how they kept the tradition with Thor movies of having there be a short story of history so we know what we're dealing with. But can I just say that the Dark Elves are scary looking as all heck? Seriously, they just... they stare into my very soul. But they look bad-ass while scaring me, so I can deal.
(AND I SHIP MALEKITH/ALGRIM HARDCORE)
Loki's sentencing/ The first time Laura died during Thor:TWD-
I heard the chains jingling and I just knew what scene this was. The second Loki's hands and arms and chains and face came on screen, I just about died. I was laughing because of his sassiness but switched from laughing to crying in about .002 seconds when he started arguing with Odin.
And don't even get me started about when Odin said Loki's birth right was to die because I was already emotional as it was and that just killed me. And the look Loki had on his face, and the way his eyes got all teary- ohmygod I was done for.
Sif, The Warriors Three, and Thor's Fight Scene/ #oooohkillem-
Basically Sif is badass and knows how to work it while she kicks ass, Fandral is dashing as always (wink wink), Volstagg's still awesome, Hogun finally is around people he looks like, and Thor can use a hammer wowow.
No but really, I actually liked that scene because it was a nice way of showing that hey these people can kick your ass and look awesome as hell while doing it.
Jane's Date/ Is that the guy from Bridesmaids???
Okay so first things first, obv things didn't work out between annie from bridesmaids and that dude because now hes tryin to get with jane.
Okay kidding aside, I liked this scene mostly because of Darcy. Now, in the past, I kind of never really liked Darcy (or Jane for all that matter) but in this movie, I absolutely love Darcy. I'm not sure why I didn't like her before (I have to rewatch Thor soon once my feelings are restored) but I love her in this movie. She's just so hilarious and I just love her for it.
Now for Jane finding the Aether. Look, I know, I know, she was just being curious and all movies have to have that one person that creates the problem, but I couldn't help but want to take her and slap her and tell her not to go near the creepy red, black, glowy stuff. But of course, that creates the main issue for the movie.
(from here I kind of forget exactly how the scenes go so I think I might just point out the parts that I can remember enough to explain..)
Loki and Frigga in Loki's cell- oh the chills when Loki screams that Odin isn't his father, and the tears when he tells Frigga she isn't his mother. The look on his face as he made her disappear is so heartbreaking, it almost killed me.
The Kursed fricking shit up in the dungeons-First of all, hes scary as heck too. I mean sure, I'm pretty much a wussy and I think lots of things look scary, but they did an amazing job with costumes and everything in this movie. Anyways, basically what I thought when he went up to Loki was LoKI YOU LITTLE SHIT DO NOT BE A BAD APPLE
FRiggA- The second she got stabbed, I was crying. The way everything slowed down, and Thor's reaction... it was just heart-shattering. Even Odin made the tears flow a little faster, the way he looked at her and touched her cheek. The funeral was beautiful and the music was absolutely chilling. I love music scores that go along with movies (especially Marvel movies) and that piece of music was just beautiful. I had so many tears coming from my eyes, it was just so emotional. And then when Loki was told about Frigga, oh it was just heart breaking.
Jane having a Supernatural demon moment- NOW WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT THAT REDNESS IS SCARY AS HELL NO GET AWAY FROM ME
Loki and Thor on the ship- Loki oh my god you and your sass are going to kill me. I'm so happy that we got a little bit more of Loki's sassy/funny side and it wasn't all Loki being a power-hungry, sad, angry, little shit the whole time.
(and I honestly can't pick my favorite Loki quote from this movie because I love them all so much)
Loki, Thor, and Jane on Svartalfheim- My first thoughts were "LOKI NO LOKI NO NO DO NOT DO THE THINGS DO NOT BE A BAD BOY DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT" and then "HOLY SHIT THOR YOUR HAND HOLY MOTHER OF GOD IM GUNNA PUKE" and then the way Loki yelled "MALEKITH" and then Loki introduced himself as Loki of Jotunheim and I was done and then he threw Jane down. I honestly don't think I breathed during this whole scene because it was intense as heck.
Then when Loki turned out to be helping Thor and Jane, I was happy and I breathed out my sigh of relief. BUT THEN WHEN LOKI ALMOST GOT SUCKED INTO THE BLACK HOLE... THING OhMYGO D. And then when Loki and Thor were being badass and kicking the Dark Elves asses, I was like aaawww yeah get revenge on Frigga babies aw yeah.
Okay, now for the scene that literally put me into tears worse than any other movie or movie scene has ever done to me before.
When Loki stabbed the Kursed and then the Kursed stabbed Loki, I just froze. I didn't know what to think or what to do or anything. As most of you know from previous posts, Loki dying was my biggest fear for this movie. When he fell to the ground, I started crying hard. And I mean hard. When Thor had him in his arms, and Loki was saying he was sorry and that he was a fool, I could barely even look. Loki just looked so pale, and sick, and just... dead. And then the line "I didn't do it for him," broke me. We all know here that Loki is my favorite character. And it hurt so bad to watch him die. It felt like I had been stabbed to be honest. I was just so devastated and upset and sad. Everyone prior to seeing the movie told me and reassured me that Loki most likely wouldn't die, and then when it happened, it was like my worst nightmare come true. We all know that people take their favorite characters seriously, and seeing them die is like seeing your best friend die, right in front of you. I just felt so upset, and broken. My mom even asked if I was okay and if I wanted to leave, and quite frankly, I almost did. I know its a little bit of an over-reaction, but Loki's... well, he's Loki. And I've made posts about it before, I couldn't lose another character, let alone my favorite character.
Anyways, since it was my first time seeing the movie, I didn't know Loki had faked his death (that little shit) and I was still upset and I was still crying over Loki dying. The first time I saw the movie, I barely even saw the scenes where Malekith is on Midgard because I was just trying to wrap my head around Loki's death.
I don't have a lot to say about those scenes to be honest. They were pretty intense and badass and stuff. I really don't know what to say about them.
Odin/Loki????- So I don't care what Loki did to get on the throne. I mean, I hope he didn't kill Odin (I've kind of ruled that out anyways) but I'm just happy he's alive. The second I saw him, I was crying tears of absolute joy. I'm just so happy and ecstatic that he's alive and okay. All that matters to me is that he's alive.
But I am confused as to how that's all going to work and more importantly, how did Loki even do it? Surely, Thor would stay for a funeral for Loki? Maybe he just made an allusion of himself for a funeral? I'm not sure but LOKI IS ALIVE AND I AM HAPPY.
And finally, the end credit scenes-
WOOOO GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY BUT BOOOO INFINITY STONES MEANS INFINITY GAUNTLET MEANS THANOS AND HES A SCARY DUDE.
And of course, Thor and Janes scene-
Aw cute. That's all I have to say.
So yeah, there's my review. I'm sorry it's so long and stuff but yeah.
Thor was still really good this time Loki was still a lil shit as always but I still teared up at the parts where Loki looked like he was about 2 cry and laughed rlly hard at the shape shifting parts hahahaha HA so good..... .. .
