I have this weird affinity for the lesser movies in a series. One of the reasons I like Iron Man 2 is that I forget sequences in it, and that makes them more effective when I see it again. I’ve never felt like watching the first Thor a second time, mostly because I remember it being kind of boring. But this one has a strong ending battle, some really clever plotting between Thor and Loki, and it feels like the plot seems to bring Asgard and Earth closer together. By making the worlds co-exist more cleanly, that helps things feel reasonable. I remember when I saw Thor, I felt like the grounding of the stuff happening on Earth was too stark a contrast to the Asgardian stuff.
I still really like the opening battle sequence. It’s nice to see Thor doing work around Asgard.
The one thing I really don’t like is the way that the funeral scene starts. The overhead shot is way to close to the shot of Padme’s funeral in Episode 3.
