This week's $5.25 (I'm still bugged about that.) Tuesday Guys' Movie is...wait. I'll give you a hint:
I'm tho thore I can hardly thit down!
Got it yet? No? It's "Thor: The Dark World." Unless you just hate CGI movies, Guys, you'll love this one!
Zap! Zap! Zizzit! Whoosh! Kablooie! Rumble! Sock! Pow! Wham! Etc! Etc!
Lotsa super fistfights (By that, I mean they just don't knock someone down. They knock him into next week — or at least, into the next realm.) Viking-mythology-demigod soldiers and despicable-bad-guy-dark elves shoot raygun-spear things, swing swords and, of course, Thor pounds everything in sight with his homing hammer (It comes panting back, you know, when he throws it.).
Super big castles, gargantuan spaceship thingies and unearthly landscape — plus several significant London landmarks — all get pulverized, too. But no real blood and no bad language. No sex, either, except what you conjure up in your testosterone-soaked little mind. (Feel free to fantasize about Natalie Portman and the other two babes, however.)
I give "Thor: The Dark World" 5 ham-handed knuckle sandwiches, 3 hammers, 5 oversized goggles for oversized special effects, 12 bulldozers and 1 trackhoe to clean up the battle mess after it's all over.
Good clean, mindless eye candy. A real old-timey comic book sorta flick. A big-screen-must; MY kinda Guys' movie! Plan on at least one more sequel; probably more. If you like sci-fi/fantasy, this one's solid.
