Elves aren’t supposed to be evil, are they. Movies and fictions are filled with such examples, from Legolas in Lord of the Rings through to Kervyn when he’s hopped up after huffing the photocopier ink in the office. But Thor: The Dark World is bringing in a few Dark Elves, with former Doctor Christoper Eccleston trading his sonic screwdriver in …
This new Thor: The Dark World featurette interviews Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and Tom Hiddleston (Loki, who is arguably the real star of these movies) about their complicated brotherly relationship, which will be explored a little further in The Dark World. Last Updated: October 11, 2013
As a debut film, 2011’s Thor did a pretty decent job setting up the mythos of the Thunder God, Asgard and his supporting crew.

Reshoots. Merely mentioning that word immediately conjures up images of a film in trouble that is desperately in need of some story restructuring. It’s something that happened to GI Joe: Retaliation, a move which delayed the film by nine months and did little to improve it. Thor: The Dark World is having reshoots right now. But contrary to that example …

Out of all the films released from the Marvel Comics movie stable, Thor happens to be one of my favourites. Sure, it has issues, but what film doesn’t? Still, I love the damn film, from its sweeping Asgardian vistas to its massive battles in a small town just south of the border with Me-hee-Co. And in the sequel, it looks …
