When watching Thor 2 for the first time, I honestly enjoyed it. Most the time was spent laughing or crying, simply choosing to enjoy the films rather loose plot. But after watching it a second time? I was kind of disappointed to be honest. I'd heard many things about the film before, with it being 'amazing' and 'a must watch!' but the actual plot was very underdeveloped.
It orientated around the relationships of the characters, such as Thor and Loki, Thor and Jane, Frigga and Odin, and so forth and so on. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing, but I found it took over the actual plot of the movie, which was the villain Malekith. He had an extremely short screen time despite being the main antagonist and scenes surrounding him didn't have much depth to them or motive. If anything, it seemed to focus on Loki, which although I was completely fine with, isn't the point.
And then we come to Jane - Her part in the movie was quite simple. She was reunited with her long lost love Thor after falling deep in love after a few days despite the fact that Thor will probably live for thousands of years, and they all lived happily ever after.
This kind of links me to the ending, **SPOILER** In which Loki is impersonating Odin. We don't actually know what happened to Odin, if he's dead or alive, but the conversation between him and Thor I found included information private to the All Father and Thor. Not once has Loki been mentioned to have mind reading powers with the exception of using the Tesseract.
So my overall opinion on the film is that if you like a good film if you enjoy humour, sarcasm, a carefree plot and above all, Tom Hiddleston, then this is the film for you. Otherwise though, it tends to deviate from the original plot and seems to speed through important areas such as the interactions between the Warriors Three and Darcy and her intern! I would, however, recommend it to others since it is a brilliant film, with good filming and special effects.
A good film the first time around.
