The Oscar Project Reviews
After visiting Earth briefly during the events of The Avengers, Thor returns to the big screen in the second film in his trilogy and the second film of Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As with Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World picks up after The Avengers. Thor (Chris Hemsworth) returns to Asgard to bring his brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) before Odin (Anthony Hopkins) to be judged for his crimes. Loki is imprisoned while on Earth, the team of Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), Darcy (Kat Dennings) and their new intern Ian (Jonathan Howard) discover an empty warehouse in London possessing mysterious wormholes that seem to teleport objects through space. Foster is teleported to a remote world and encounters a strange force called the Aether, hidden away millennia before to safeguard it. When the Aether joins with her body, it awakens the Dark Elves, eternal foes of Asgard, led by Malekith (Christopher Eccleston) and they begin hunting it and her. Thor returns to Earth and brings Jane with him to Asgard for protection, only having to break out with the help of Loki and face off against Malekith in a battle to save the Nine Realms. While this is an adventure film like all the rest, this if the first one that has a real feeling of romance. Thor longs to be with Foster throughout the early part of the film and finally gets to bring her home to meet Mom and Dad. While most romantic comedies/dramas don't feature the same level of action as a Marvel film, this one still has some of the key beats of those films. Foster is seen at the beginning of the film on a date with another man and when he calls her phone later in the film, Thor asks who the man is, clearly jealous even though he's a god. As with the previous Thor film, Thor: The Dark World did not receive any Academy Award nominations. This film is by no means required viewing before Endgame, except for setting the stage as to where the reality stone is. But that's more of a set-up for Infinity War. 7 out of 10 Previous: Iron Man 3 | Next: Captain America: The Winter Soldier Get Ready for Endgame
