Rhapsodies

I confess I had not been particularly excited about Thor: The Dark World. The trailer really didn’t do much for me and the main reason for me to be excited about the first movie (Kenneth Branagh) was no longer an issue.

But I’d been given a free pass so to the movie theaters I went.

It was a lot better than I expected though considering Alan Taylor’s work on Game of Thrones and many other HBO shows I shouldn’t have been surprised.  All and all it was an enjoyable romp with all the action you would hope for in an action comicbook thriller as well as lots of self referential humor.

As always Tom Hiddleston owned it as Loki getting more from a raised eyebrow than others did with over a minute of dialogue. After that it was a bit of a disappointment that Christopher Eccleston wasn’t given anything to do beyond act menacing.

Definitely worth everybody’s time.
