I’ve watched Thor 2 a few times now and it’s fairly entertaining, but it probably makes the least sense to me out of all the Marvel movies I’ve seen.
Also watched Monsters University again recently since it came out on Blu ray. This and Toy Story 3 are like a one-two punch of feels for the kids who have grown up watching the originals. I’m now expecting the Finding Dory movie will hit us with a plot about the inevitability of death and how we’ll all lose our parents and friends to it eventually. Or something equally melancholy and heart-rending.
Because the sound mixes are designed for theater setups with lots of differently tuned speakers? I really don’t know, yet people always give me weird looks when I turn on subtitles. People ask me if I’m deaf or something. It’s REALLY annoying to be asked that, and no one believes me when I saw that I do that for that exact reason.
The Usual Suspects has a “cripple” telling stories to pass the time until he can be released from the cops as they eat up everything he says hook line and sinker, with a twist ending that makes a whole hell of a lot of sense before and after the reveal. Basic has everyone telling stories that no one believes, with a twist ending that doesn’t make any sense at all at any point in the narrative. It don’t make no fucking sense at all. But I love the way it plays out, and the performances by John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson.
Overall it’s definitely an improvement over the first movie. My biggest gripe with it is the ending. I never read the books so I’m not sure if it was supposed to end like that.
last night i watched the first part of man of steel and fell asleep and then a loud noise in it woke me up and i watcheda bit of the middle end. seemed v bad anyway
Catching Fire. I’d have to agree that the ending was kinda awkward; there was too much plot conveyed in a small amount of dialogue, and it was painfully obvious that it’s just setting up for a sequel.
Just watched “Thor: The Dark World” yesterday. It was very okay. I was with the movie until [COLOR=’#151515’]the end. Okay, so, Loki’s dead, sacrificing his own life. I was kosher with that, until the end when it is revealed that Loki had disguised himself as Odin. Now I’m all confused. Who died? Did anyone? Did Loki fake his own death? And what is with that during-the-credits sequence? I’m so confused.
Courtesy of MST3K, I just watched Invasion USA, a Cold War film in which the USA gets invaded by Russia and defeated because they didn’t invest enough in defense. Then, at the end, everyone wakes up in the bar from the beginning having apparently been hypnotized, and goes off to make tank parts and shit.
I think you might have missed the part [color=’#151515’]after Thor and Jane leave Svartalfheim, the dark elf world, where the camera pans over to a generic Asgardian soldier as a green glow disappears from his body. The guard then leaves and reports to Odin that he found Loki’s body. So the implication is that Loki faked his death so that no one would come looking for him. You could easily be forgiven for being confused - it was a kind of complicated, nonsensical movie. I watched it like three times and I’m still not entirely clear on everything.
I too watched Catching Fire the other day. I really disliked the first movie and was more or less dragged to see this one. Surprisingly though I quite liked this one. I can’t put my finger on exactly what it is that’s better - maybe it’s the acting that’s improved, or maybe it’s the presence of a concrete villain from the beginning, maybe it’s got more story, or maybe it’s that it doesn’t feel quite so weird because it’s not just a bunch of little kids murdering each other this time around. Whatever it is I enjoyed it, though I could tell from the timing that the movie wasn’t gonna wrap things up nicely. It was a more abrupt cliffhanger ending than Empire Strikes Back.

I didn’t. I just wanted to be cool…
