VFX Breakdown For Marvel's THOR: THE DARK WORLD

Great movie

I like the first Thor better but the Dark World was still enjoyable.

Great stuff Nail...glad you post this FX and concept art stuff here on cbm, just don't know what I enjoy more, that, or the cosplay ;)

I loved this movie...though wished there was 10-15 more minutes of Malekith/Dark Elves/Kurse scenes/backstories...would have been an even better movie...was hoping there would be a lot of deleted scenes on the DVD or a director's cut, I haven't bought it yet, is there only one deleted scene with Malekith? Thought that's what I heard...

This movie would have been epic if the movie had the same running time as Cap 2. They would have been able to have longer battles, more Malekith, Kurse, Sif, and the Warriors Three. Also, instead of the Dark Elves having dark matter guns, they should have used Elven magic, swords, and recurve bows. Some of the Asgardians should have been wielding axes.

For a company that claims to allow their directors a lot of freedom, Alan Taylor, director of THOR TDW doors time marvel Ayer his experience with them. Said they didn't allow him to do much.

@ComicsBornAndBred
And it shows they didn't let Taylor do anything. Movie was so meh.

Cool video, awful movie. I felt like it was directed by Tyler Perry

Visuals! The only good thing about this movie!

The only problem I have with Thor is that they seem to limit his power by a huge amount, apart from that I like TDW and have Watched Thor more then any other Marvel movie.

Damn what an underwhelming film.

It doesn't have an interesting story. The characters are just there and don't do really that much. The film is empty and easy to forget. It tries to be emotional in which it also fails. Frigga suddenly has a bigger role but then she dies but pretty much no one says something about it. Only a memorial and that's it.
Loki does what exactly? Another simple/shameful joker rip-off performance of Hiddleston with a hollow character.

The dialogues are cringeworthy, not a single scene in the entire film is memorable. It's nowhere as spectacular as it could've been. Sif is barely there. They hint at a love triangle but no. Apparently the Dark Elves attacking London and the Nine Realms (who look really uninspiring and empty) in the same line is obviously not that big of a deal. I think the army got involved… Sort of. O yeah, they flew into another realm and came back just in time. Sigh. Not to forget, where are the other Avengers? And please don't give me that the reason for them not to be there is that everything happens at once. Even that should've been said. And is a pretty weak explanation in itself.

The Dark World, what dark world? It's just a wasteland with an odd sky. Really, the designs in this films are as simple as if they didn't had enough time to develop.

Malekith. Who? Another unimpressive and forgettable villain of the MCU. The best villain so far was Obadiah Stane and even he (éven though played by the great Bridges) was underwhelming. So Malekith, one of those Dark Elves who wants darkness… His character isn't well developed nor is he daunting in any scene (since he is the villain, you'd expect him to be). The fight between him and Thor is bland and not so exciting as they want it to be. Not to forget that apparently his own ship is able to crush him to death in the dark world… for real…

Not to forget Selvig, another great actor wasted in such a role. He does not only appear once naked on screen (blurred out) but at least three times. Poor Skarsgard, he's too good for this.

I could go on an on since there are too many failures in this film. It's unwatchable. I'm surprised I managed to watch the entire film. Even though I watched it in three parts. It was too painful and laughable (not in a positive way).

I love the Marvel superheroes, even though most of them are owned by other studios. But it's a smack in the face to see what they're doing with the MCU. And not to the first after credit bit of the film… Now GotG looks really awful. Poor poor poor Benicio Del Toro, great in The Usual Suspects and Traffic and now in that rubbish. I feel bad for him. He's also too good for this. But yeah, money.

But of course, GotG is gonna make some decent money but I surely won't see it in theater, it comes damn close to slapstick. As for Avengers 2… It's a shame Whedon directs, since he directed the first film as a tv film which was not in it's favor. I'm not looking forward to it.

Better than Winter Soldier?? The [frick]? Are you serious?
