Matt C 459 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 I'm watching a few of the clips. Looks like Kat Dennings is injecting some of her "2 Broke Girls" Max persona in Darcy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 38,291 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Wow yea, she's basically a college educated Max Black now, lol. Didn't know Chris O'Dowd was in this, he's great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt C 459 Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Saw it. In terms of scale, it's definitely 10x bigger than the decidedly more scaled-down predecessor. Alan Taylor really has a good handle on the action scenes too, especially the Dark Elves' siege on Asgard.The biggest detractor is, oddly, there's too much humor. Kat Dennings and Tom Hiddleston have some great lines, while the latter again steals the show from the lead actors. The problem is that the humor threatens to overcome the more serious plot stakes, even though Christopher Eccleston is rather anonymous as Malekith (and his scenes are actually pretty boring). It's a more enjoyable film than Thor, but keep your expectations reasonable.And there's not one, but TWO, scenes. The first one is after the terrific Ridley Scott Robin Hood-esque end credit sequence -- I'm not spoiling anything, but it's a lead-in for Guardians of the Galaxy and can be skipped. The second one is the atypical post-credit one, and actually gives the movie a bit more closure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 459 Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 She is absolutely radiant in this film, for sure. But I prefer Jaimie Alexander and Kat Dennings over her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUlyssesian 2,480 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Anyone else like the main theme? I rather liked it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt C 459 Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 I liked it. Tyler definitely wrote in Doyle's style, which was nice.Only theme Tyler quoted was Silvestri's "Captain America March", but it was only for that scene I mentioned a page back.

Jay 38,291 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Funny how out of all the movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America is the only one that has a musical theme to repeat in more than one movie, and it's now repeated in three! The power of Silvestri! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Score_Fan 36 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 This movie disappointed me. I still like it, but the pacing for the first 30 minutes or so were way too rushed. It's still a solid 8/10, but I like the first one more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,236 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Just saw it. Solid film, I think. Cloyingly generic theme. If nothing else, it's made me VERY excited for Guardians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
