The Guardians struggle to keep together as a team while dealing with their personal family issues, notably Star-Lord's encounter with his father the ambitious celestial being Ego.
The warrior Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is cast out of the fantastic realm of Asgard by his father Odin (Sir Anthony Hopkins) for his arrogance and sent to Earth to live amongst humans. Falling in love with scientist Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) teaches Thor much-needed lessons, and his new-found strength comes into play as a villain from his homeland sends dark forces toward Earth.
In this movie, the casket of Ancient Winters was held by the Frost Giants of Jotunheim. In the comics, it was held by the Dark Elves of Svartalfheim, in particular, their leader Malekith the Accursed. In this movie, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) holds the Casket, and asks Odin (Sir Anthony Hopkins) if he is accursed, an homage to Malekith. See more »
Goofs
At the post-credit scene, when Selvig met Nick Fury, his patched eye did not have 3 lined scratches from Flerken that happened during Captain Marvel's event. See more »
Part of the closing credits is shot through the Bifrost, with the camera flying through the celestial realm of Yggdrasil, finally ending at Asgard. At the end, the film title appears with a small lightning strike within it. See more »
Alternate Versions
In Nordic subtitles for this film, the name of Laufey has been changed to Leifur, since In Norse mythology (and thus, Nordic languages), the name Laufey is feminine and is the name of Loki's mother. See more »
I enjoyed this when it came out and was interested to see if it stood the test of the me and I'm glad to say it did.
If anything I appreciated the humour more which brings a different side to the character of Thor which would lad have been pretty one dimensional otherwise.
Very underrated Marvel movie.
