Personal Opinion of the film:
As a fan of the Marvel films, I was highly anticipating this film the most due to the quality of the first Thor film and also due to the massive success that was The Avengers.
In my opinion, I thought this film was the best Marvel film yet. Having Alan Taylor take over as director from Kenneth Branagh was the best decision Marvel have made regarding this particular film.
The acting was on point from all the actors but funnily enough the stand out for me was Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Thor's brother. Even though the film is titled 'Thor: The Dark World' Loki was hilarious to watch and brought a lot to the movie. His sassiness and sarcasm created some of the best parts of the film.
Chris Hemsworth was born to play Thor, the way he becomes his character makes you always want to root for him, out of the way he plays him and not just because he is the focus of the film.
