Sassy Gay Review of THOR THE DARK WORLD; Thor Once Again Saves Natalie Portman from Certain Death

This week I went to see the next saga of the man beast thunder god Thor. New York is safe and Thor returns to Asgard having brought peace to the Nine Realms. However a new threat emerges, when a once thought extinct race known as the dark elves threaten to cast the nine realms into Shadow. And at some point Natalie port mans life becomes threatened and Thor has to do some treacherous traitorous hero bullcrap in order to save her.

Now the main reason I went to see Thor was to bear witness to Chris Hensworth’s chiseled marble chest – check took care of that within the first five minutes of the damn movie. Ohh lawdy, that was worth the price of admission. My other reason for going was to see Tom Hiddleston in all of theatrical brilliance as Loki, who once again carries the entire film.Thor: The Dark World is a surprisingly engaging film; it’s

slightly more intriguing than your average, run-of-the-mill superhero flick. I believe this is because The film presents itself as a Star Trek like movie. The pacing is slower, there’s more character development, and more time is spent off on Earth giving the movie a nice intergalactic feel to it. My main criticism is the lack of strong,
female characters – they are there, Rene Russo became my favorite character of this film, but their moments are few and far between – . My other main criticism is how Odin transformed from a wise, kindly father figure in the first film to a grumpy, ornery, stubborn old fool for seemingly no reason. I’m so over Odin. I give Thor: Dark World 3 and a Half Xs out of 5, a satisfactory sequel of what I am sure is to be a long line of Thor related movies

Movie Review: The Avengers – Why I Want to Make Nerdy Babies with Joss Whedon

My dear movie goers, Assemble thyself and prepare for one of the greatest superhero films of all time, The Avengers. A part of me feels that I have waited my entire geek life to see this movie come to fruition. Setting the record for the biggest opening debut in North American cinematic history, The Avengers is a project 7 years in the making. Nick Fury, director of the peace-keeping organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D., assembles Earth’s strongest heroes, including playboy Iron Man, smash-inclined Hulk, delicious Hawkeye, the deadly Black Widow and the musclely Thor to combat one of the gravest threats the world has ever known. Loki, the demented and downtrodden brother of lightning god Thor, plans to use the Tesseract, an alien cube of limitless power, to transport his army to Earth and take it over– you know the usual world domination scenario. However, the Avengers are a band of egotistical numbskulls with testosterone spewing from their pores. Will their hubris prove to be their undoing and result in the total destruction of Earth and the enslavement of the human race as we know it?
 
What could I possibly find wrong with this movie? It possesses all of my favorite things in life. A film written and directed by the one and only Joss Whedon, who I want to have nerdy babies with, strapping Herculean like mens wearing tight spandex fighting one another in some epic display of masculinity, and a ginger heroine who kicks eurrrveerryboooddy’s ass without breaking a sweat. What’s not to love I’m just saying. The Avengers sets itself apart from many of the other superhero films that have graced our lives over the years because the Avengers didn’t suck, lest we forget The Green Lantern or X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The film captures the whimsical campiness inherent in a comic book flick but also possess a beautifully crafted story ripe with dynamic characters and witty writing. Did I mention the musclely men in spandex beating the crap out of one another? I give this film 4 and a half Xs out of five; basically if you do not go and see this film you do not love yourself.
