Thor: the Dark World Movie Review (2013) | Roger Ebert In Memoriam 1942 – 2013 | ★ ★ ★ ★ ROGEREBERT.COM Choose a Section REVIEWS THOR: THE DARK WORLD ★ ★ ☇ | Simon Abrams November 8, 2013 | ☄ 36 Late in "Thor: The Dark World," Chris Hemsworth's title character crash-lands on a British Underground platform. He's dazed but knows that he has to get back to fighting Malekith (ex-Doctor Who Christopher Eccleston), a malevolent dark elf. Thor asks for Print Page directions back to Greenwich, and promptly boards the train. As the train lurches forward, a woman falls onto his broad chest. He Like 60 smiles knowingly. This scene is one of several high points in "Thor: The Dark World," a blocky fantasy-adventure whose plot is 3 never as exciting as its characters. All three "Iron Man" films have this same basic problem, but story was never more important than personality in those earlier films. "Thor: The Dark World"'s characters are often very charming, but they're only so much fun Tweet 28 when they're stuck going through the motions. "Thor: The Dark World" mostly concerns Malekith's "Transformers"-worthy schemes. Malekith was previously put in his place by Bor, Thor's grandfather, when he tried to turn matter back into anti-matter using Aether, an ancient, all-powerful energy source. Now, after Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), Thor's super-smart human scientist not-quite-girlfriend, stumbles upon some Aether, Malekith returns. Leading an armada of black splinter-shaped spaceships, he sets out for Asgard, home of Thor and his fellow Norse Gods. But the Asgardians are still recovering from Thor's half-brother Loki's (Tom Hiddleston) recent failed coup. Now, Thor and Loki must team up to save Jane, Earth, Asgard, and the other eight realms of existence from complete annihilation. Malekith may be a major threat to life and the universe as we know it, but he's just one of a handful of characters who are run through their paces in "Thor: The Dark World." This sequel is consistently unfocused in that sense: major characters get to flex their muscles for a scene or two, but only when they're absolutely needed. There are a couple of scenes where characters get to be both important and exciting, like when Kurse (Adewale "Mr. Eko" Akinnuoye- Agbaje), Malekith's super-powered henchman, breaks into Asgard, and starts a prison riot. But there are just as many scenes where inherently exciting characters, like Thor, kill time connecting plot points. Watching Thor make quick work of an inconsequential enemy in an opening scene should be fun. But the scene has no flair to it, and feels like a perfunctory introduction to the character. The first scene in the film where Hemsworth gets to be really charming comes later, when he's squabbling with Hiddleston about operating a commandeered dark-elven space-ship. The squabbling itself isn't that funny, but the scene's pay-off is. Hemsworth's eyes light up as he gets the ship to fly, instantly reminding you why you came in the first place. Still, more often than not, "Thor: The Dark World" is more busy than exciting. There are a couple sub-plots too many, like the one with frequently-naked super-scientist Erik Selvig (Stellan Skarsgard). And too many characters that are introduced with a promising scene, like Rainbow Bridge guardian Heimdall (Idris Elba), are forgotten during the film's climactic battle. The film's world also generally looks slapped together, especially the dark elves, who look like a cross between "Land of the Lost"'s Sleestaks and "Doctor Who"'s Cybermen. Visually, "Thor: The Dark World" is a step back after "Thor," which at least looked unique enough. But in most other respects, "Thor: The Dark World" is a step in the right direction. The scene where Thor enlists Loki's help is a perfect example of the film's slight but memorable improvements. The conversation they have is inconsequential, but watching a defeated Loki surrounded by over-turned converted by Web2PDFConvert.com furniture and a reddish-brown PG-13 blood-substitute on his prison cell's walls makes the scene worthwhile. Hemsworth and Hiddleston have such good chemistry that it sometimes looks like Thor and Loki will kiss before Thor and Jane will. There's just enough tension and humor in "Thor: The Dark World" to make the film's otherwise listless proceedings worth watching, but only just.

Something strange is happening in the night sky and I need your help,” Jane replied. “It’s a little dierent each time. Once it was a pool of stars in a corner of the sky. But last week it was a rainbow—” A noise from her computer stopped her. “Wait for it!” she said excitedly. Nothing happened. The sky above them stayed calm and black. Darcy put her head out of the window and looked up at Jane. “Can I turn on the radio?” she asked. She sounded bored. “No!” Jane replied angrily. She and Selvig climbed back inside the van. “I don’t understand,” she said. She opened a small book and looked at her notes. She always carried this notebook—inside it was her life’s work.

  • Disability in Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology
    Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University ISSN:1007-1172 Disability in Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology S. Govarthini Ph.D Research Scholar Kongu Arts and Science College(Autonomous), Erode. [email protected] Abstract: Disability is a theme that can be used from folklore to children's literature. There are disabled characters with unusual features in all classical literature. This paper explores disability in Norse Myth with special reference to Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman. The characters who are cursed with such disabilities all seem to alter the narrative in a peculiar manner. This disability, especially in gods in myths have a different implication than in ordinary fiction. The modern civilization might be looking at people with disabilities with contempt, but when disability is common, one can note that these disabled people may have received something more in exchange just as Odin had insight in sacrificing his own pupil. Keywords: Disability, Mythology, Norse Mythology, Neil Gaiman Neil Gaiman has become an important writer in the 21 st century for the sheer amalgamation of genres. He has written books for both adults and children and both seem to enjoy his fiction immensely. This is because of his understanding of good fiction. He seems to innately understand good stories and how to tell them. Norse Mythology is the only work in which he rewrites an epic myth in a novel format. These stories have been around for over two thousand years. Neil Gaiman has taken these age old stories and narrated them in his own whimsical way so the ancient stories could be enjoyed by both adults and children.

Why is that notion never applied to how we treat, address, and present religion and the religious to children and young adults? In recent years, questions have been continuously brought up about how we portray violence, sexuality, gender, race, and many other issues in popular media directed towards young people, particularly video games.
