Greetings and salutations all you
awesome night owls out there! I'm the always bubbly critic
TheCinemaChick and if I get a bit goofier than usual, blame the cold
medicine. Yes, I came down with a doozy of a cold and have been
fighting it for a few days. However, this isn't about me or my
illness, this is about the newly released teaser trailer for “Thor
The Dark World”. Joining me for this commentary will be the oft
neglected Kit Kat. While I dust her and make her all shiny again,
lets let her reintroduce herself.
Why thank you CinemaChick. ‘Alo
all you people out there. CinemaChick and I decided it was time for
my triumphant return to her movie reviewing blog. I can honestly say
that I can’t wait to get rolling.
As I mentioned, this will be all about
our reactions to the trailer. Having seen “Avengers” (in this
case, I basically forced her to see it one night and honestly, who
hasn't seen it?), you know this is going to pick up where that left
off. So, we know that Thor took Loki back to Asgard. Now we must
find out what has happened to Loki. Stop me if I'm wrong, but he
goes back into the same prison he was in during “Avengers” only
know it's on a different planet and underground. Yeah...what's
stopping him from getting out?
Well, in any case, I’m glad you
“made” me see it. It was a great movie. And again, good point. I
think back to the pintrest pin talking about how there is no possible
way for a psychopath to escape from a glass prison. I guess people
never learn do they?
You know what,
let's get to that part last because there's one crucial thing to
touch on with that. For now, let's look at Malekith, Thor,
Asgard...and Jane. Interesting tidbit, When the first director left
the project, Portman wanted to quit but she is is bound by contracts
to see this through. I would have been fine with this because in the
films, Jane Foster adds nothing. Her main use is for the romantic
angle as shown in the trailer when Thor basically kidnaps her and
puts her in danger. Does she live? Does she die? Who knows.
Yes, I noticed
that as well from the trailer. While I’m not a fan of the damsel in
distress motif, I can understand how it’s useful. But really, Jane
is on a plane where bad things aren’t happening. Then Thor shows up
and takes her to a place where she is in mortal danger. And this
helps keep her safe…how? And you love this chick eh?
And it
seems everyone's back in this film, however, Josh Dallas will now be
playing Fandral, or as I liked to call him Laughing Boy. That's
right, all your rarely seen, barely mentioned characters are back in
this sequel. Darcy comes back, along with Sif, Frigga and Odin.
From what I've heard, those characters have been fleshed out a bit
more so we get to know them better. Hey, Darcy came back, so there's
a huge perk. And I hope she brought her taser with her this time.
But of course, most of this not even two minute trailer is spent
focusing on Thor.
Pretty much all the voice overs in
this footage are by Thor. He grabs her brings her back, there’s a
slight bit of relationship drama they try and shove in but that’s
not important because then we get what we all came for anyway, the
actiony bits. Thor saying they must do something about this tragedy
and all that jazz. But, of course, as TheCinemaChick mentioned, Jane
Foster is pretty much useless save for getting taken by the baddy for
Thor to save her. Though, isn’t stopping “the bad guy” what the
movie is about anyway?
Speaking of the
bad guys, let's discuss the best part of this little trailer.
Guys...Loki is back. He is in what appears to be a giant glass cube
underground. His hair has grown out and apparently, they do not
believe in hair dryers and flat irons for prisoners. Seriously, was
his punishment to be given a bad perm and stuck in the cube? While
Tom Hiddleston is a drop dead gorgeous man with an equally sexy
voice, I just...I can't. The hair bothers me so much. First of all,
that's what my hair looked like on a daily basis (I chopped off 7
inches of hair this morning). Second, if you don't know who Tommy
Wiseau is, look him up and compare him to this Loki. Yeah. I went
there. Loki is trapped in a room looking like the man who made The
Room.
Yes, here is
where I again agree with CinemaChick. I actually was asked to watch
the YouTube video Everything Wrong with The Room in 6 Minutes or
Less. And yeah, it is that bad. Couldn’t they just…let him comb
his hair out or something with a few guards present or something?
Sure he’s dangerous but again…he’s in a glass cage under
ground. Something which he has all ready escaped from once. Give the
man hair care products.
Oh we both
know there will be thousands of fangirls lining up to help him out.
Me, well, we all know I too am in Loki's Army. However, until the
man gets a flat iron, I refuse to fall in rank, whatever my rank is.
I'm excited to see this, but I demand continuity! Don't just get it
going and not explain how the bridge was fixed. Joss Whedon took the
time to explain how Thor came to Earth in The Avengers, you can tell
us why he got back this time. So, Kit Kat, what are you most looking
forward to, other than Loki's impending shower?
I’m actually
looking forward to seeing more interaction between Thor and Loki.
Heck, he goes to his brother for help but also says that when Loki
betrays him that he, Thor, will have to kill him. Means some serious
stuff has gone down if that’s the best option you have. Seeing this
trailer has honestly made me wanna see the first Thor movie as a way
of getting even more background into these characters.
Also, let's talk
about the amazing addition of Christopher Eccleston! He was my first
Doctor and as far as I'm concerned, my favorite, with Matt Smith and
Tom Baker in a very close second. I'm excited to see his role as the
villain. The hotness in this movie is off the charts. Yes, I went
there as well.
Hotness abounds
and the fangirls will lap it all up. And even for those who aren’t
Doctor Who fans (you should be ashamed of yourselves) Christopher
Eccleston is an amazing actor in other roles like Gone in 60 Seconds
and G.I. Joe. Plus the accent.
That's right.
There you have it everyone. Thor The Dark World is destined to
become another Marvel mega box office hit, just like Iron Man 3 is.
All right Kit Kat, say farewell to the lovely folks.
So yes, my
final verdict: Definitely going to see this movie. It’s got me
interested and hooked. Time for a count-down till it’s opening in
theaters. Thanks for the invite back to your blog CinemaChick. This
is Kit Kat and I’m pumped for new movies.
I'm
TheCinemaChick and you can find me at Harkins Southlake this Thursday
for their Ultimate Iron Man Marathon.
