[QUOTE=Antimuffin;42798550]Had again shitheads in the cinema who had to take out their smartphones and check facebook every time when nothing special happened. Happened in The Hobbit too. God, I fucking hate this mobile generation.[/QUOTE]Do what I do and kick their seats and if they don't like it, slap them in the face.

God, I fucking hate this mobile generation.[/QUOTE] Here you find people singing before the movie begins and people narrating the movie several times when you go to the cinema Luckly when I went to see Thor 2 these assholes weren't in there

After watching this today I have to say other than Iron Man 3 this is one the better films of the Avenger sub films.

The last twenty minutes was essentially Thortal.

[QUOTE=Apollo;42807499]The last twenty minutes was essentially Thortal.[/QUOTE] [sp]But it was pretty creative and cool for a fight scene.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Apollo;42807499]The last twenty minutes was essentially Thortal.[/QUOTE] And it was awesome. [editline]9th November 2013[/editline] That last scene and the falling from plane rescue scene in Iron Man 3 got into my favorite action scenes list.

At the scene where[sp] Loki becomes captain America [/sp] everyone in the theater started clapping. Fucking Americans

[QUOTE=meppers;42810628]At the scene where[sp] Loki becomes captain America [/sp] everyone in the theater started clapping. Fucking Americans[/QUOTE] That scene was hilarious. I couldn't really blame the audience for their reaction to it, but at the same time I couldn't hear a thing throughout it.

People cheered and clapped when Thor beat that metal suit thing in the first movie and that was in the UK. To be fair it was in the cinema tent at Glastonbury Festival so everyone was either pissed or high or both.

I saw Star Trek was on at Reading but I was tired and dead. The only time I've heard people clap a film (in a cinema) is Avengers Hulk Vs Loki. Everybody clapped. People were crying laughing long after it happened. Total shock. Best cinema experience I ever had, great audience.

Audiences reacting is honestly a big part of why I love going to the movies as opposed to just watching it at home. I mean, the "don't go in there" people are annoying but the right atmosphere with all of us experiencing this shit at the same time and reacting to it is a lot of fun to me.

So what's the after credit scene all about?

Google infinity gems and google thanos

[QUOTE=mark6789;42814992]So what's the after credit scene all about?[/QUOTE] [sp]Guardians of the Galaxy. Quite a few articles that explain it.[/sp] The after-after credits scene is pretty self-explanatory though.

[QUOTE=Dan2593;42812727]Hanging with the kids. Keeping it low-key.[/QUOTE] Urgh, these puns make me thor. "You're Thor?" Well it hurts.

The whole [sp]Warping around fight scene near the end felt almost too "convenient" as well as the secret passage Loki knew about...[/sp]

[QUOTE=Adius Shadow;42825885]The whole [sp]Warping around fight scene near the end felt almost too "convenient" as well as the secret passage Loki knew about...[/sp][/QUOTE] The [sp]secret passage[/sp] is ok. It's mentioned in the first movie.

Stumbling into that cave with the shoes on the other hand......... That being said this movie could not have had a better ending. The final moment was fantastic

I feel that the villains in the movie were underdeveloped. They didn't seem very threatening and the main antagonist should have gotten more dialogue to show how 'evil' he supposedly was. And the mask/helmets the grunts wore were a bit comical looking, especially compared to the armored viking Asgardians. But, still a thousand times better than Thor I, would watch again.

Adequate amount of Norse gods smashing stuff I am pleased

I guess my main problems with this movie was the Deus Ex Machina's, as well as the 'hey lets have Asgardian anti-air turrets' and 'scifi space ship control panel, except with rock keyboard' stuff going on, which is worth noting that those things are pretty much expected of superhero movies lately. I just feel that the weak spots were amplified by the gravity and seriousness of the plot. The fact that Thor is literally a god makes the serious portions of the plot to seem really heavy, and when it seems to have weak spots it shows more. Although I really liked how bits of the film seemed like a really great crossover between a story that would have been passed on for generations and scifi flick. Like the camera shot near the end when [sp]Loki stabbed Thor with the hidden dagger, seeing it from the antagonists point of view made it really feel like something you would have read about in a textbook. I dont know if I'm making this come across how I want, but that feeling when reading old stories about Rome that are sort of maybe-they-happened/maybe-they-didnt moments. Like where the interpersonal relationship between the protagonists and antagonists are the focus of the story and not the logistics. "Loki then stabbed his brother, Thor. The dark elves, who could not hear the dialogue between the brothers, engaged Loki without knowing why there was one figure standing at the hill where there once two. The kursed dark elf mentions that Loki was a prisoner at Asgard and the dark elves were open to his conversation, so the story goes..."[/sp]

Asgardians have been zapping people with pew pew beams since the late 50s, and it became the de rigueur in the 70s.

The first movie was more...magical? Where as this movie was more technological. Asgard felt more alien than mythological to me.

I think its just me but i thought it was kinda weird them having all these advanced stuff but still using fire as there source of light.

[QUOTE=Butthurter;42842073]or the simple fact that they chose not to use any of the advanced technology leftover from the dark world and stuck with their spears and blades for another millennium at least they have anti-air turrets[/QUOTE] At least Odin's staff fired...something of some sort. Though he only used it like once against one single grunt no-name soldier.

[QUOTE=Butthurter;42847647]even then that was a hand-me-down weapon from his father bor the asgardians never made any progression[/QUOTE] Why would they need to? Their society is seen as perfect from the monarch's point of view. They hold ultimate power over the other realms.

At least in this film universe. Imagine if nine different planets were all created at the same time. Each with only basic organisms to begin. Over thousands/millions of years, each planets lifeforms and technologies would evolve differently. Earth has our technological spacecraft, while another planet has space craft that is made in a completely different way. The way I see it, all the "magic" "mythological" stuff in the movie is really just technology. Their "magic" is to us, what our computers are to them. I may be looking too deeply into it, [sp]but they even state in the movie that they are not gods.[/sp]
