You....willingly.....ate Del Taco? Without a gun to your head? Amazing! Last time I tried that I'm pretty sure I shatted a few years off of my lifespan.

With a budget of $170 million, it looked much better than a lot of the bigger and more expensive CBMs.

@PantherX Agreed. I saw it on release day in the UK, and I was totally over it by the time it released in the US.

Yea..it's ridiculous that he never wears the helmet.
It's an old argument but one that is never going to be satisfied.
They made a cool helmet,he always wears it in comics..it doesn't cover his face for "acting" purposes.
Anyone who thinks it's not needed has been brainwashed by the films.

I LOVE the Malekith design from the fifth picture. The big one on the left.

I hope that, in the next film, Thor eats cereal out of his helmet, AND THAT'S THE ONLY TIME YOU SEE THE HELMET IN THE ENTIRE FILM!!!!

Absolutely loved this film. It was better than the first, a feat seldom achieved.

I see a lot of designs I would've preferred they used in the final product.

I got some questions about the movie, why was the horned guy able to easily deflect Thor's hammer when Hulk couldn't even lift it? How was Thor able to hang the hammer on a rack for clothes? Doesn't Mjolnir weigh like a few million tons?

The dude with the horns was the best "demon" makeup job done since the "Devil" from Legends.

He's still #1 over all these years for makeup design.

@Shara you gotta remember that there are plenty of beings out there stronger than Thor's hammer.

@sameoldthing

Sorry but I don't think it's needed. I liked it when I saw it in the first film (still do) but at the same time I don't miss it. I know some of you guys have a hard on for this kind of thing but I can see why they took it out if the actor felt uncomfortable in it and CGI would just be a waste of money.

incredible movie, one of the best CBM's ever, almost top ten

I don't think Mjolnir is heavy per sé. It's just that only Thor may lift it due to magic.

@soforizo

I thought the Dark World did the smart thing by focusing on the relationships rather than the villains. In my opinion, that's the only reason why the first movie warranted a sequel and why it made as much as it did.

Kurse had nothing to do with the Aether.

I agree about Mjolnir not being heavy, for a start it was in the Helicarrier, it's placed on tables often and doesn't crush them.

Heres a question, if Mjolnir can be on the Helicarrier does that mean machines don't have to be piloted by someone worthy for the machine to lift it? does that mean, logically, Iron Man should be able to lift Mjolnir because Tony Stark pilots the machine,

It was made by Uru (metal o Asgard) and forged in a star, it only weighs a bit more than a normal hammer, it's not like I keeps sinking into the ground until Thor calls it, it's just resting like anything else would, except just not everyone can lift it if they aren't worthy.
