THOR: THE DARK WORLD movie review

when Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) waited 2 years for the return of Thor (Chris Hemsworth), another more terrible thing happened and the fate of the universe is at hand of a dark elf Malekith, whose desire to conquer everything from the good. Thor: The Dark World is a must-see for Thor and Marvel fans and this will help you connect all Marvel movies including the stories of The Avengers, Captain America, Thor, and more.

i was just amazed on how they wove the different Marvel movies to each other and including some elements of them in Thor. no spoilers here but i really really loved it and can't wait for the next movie, whether it could be in Captain America, Avengers 2 or Thor 3. who knows? it will be a brain challenge for you if you don't get why someone continues to live or eventually die without you noticing it. one thing that i just had to say is: i wonder why is it when Jane Foster tries to connect with Thor, something bad happens? doesn't she bring bad luck to human race? LOL

Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) and Thor (Chris Hemsworth)

for the effects and cinematography, you'll remember some movies you saw over the years. not to ditch Thor-makers but i saw the Emerald City and Star Wars in this. but heck, i still liked it though. costumes, good especially with those dark elves.

it is also advisable NOT TO LEAVE your seats a bit at the end of the movie. a special scene with a new character revealed around 2 minutes of the end credits will be shown.

Thor: The Dark World is now showing in cinemas. special thanks to Solaire Resort and Casino for giving me an invite to see this movie. for promos on how to win tickets to exclusive screenings of movies you want to see, follow Solaire Resort and Casino on Twitter @solaireresort and tweet including the hashtag #SolaireSpecialScreening.
