    On November 8th, Thor: The Dark World, came into theaters and instantly became the top November film opening of all time in North America. In this second film of the Thor franchise, Thor, played perfectly by Chris Hemsworth, must defend his home of Asgard, as well as the rest of the Nine Realms from the Dark Elf forces, led by the evil Malekith. Thor’s quest is to regain the Aether, a dark and very powerful substance that has found a home inside his love interest, Jane, who is once again played by Natalie Portman. Thor will do whatever it takes to obtain the Aether, and in the midst of all the chaos, he must protect Asgard and Jane from the evil schemes.
    Many Notre Dame Academy students went to see the flick and were truly in love with this wonderful follow up to the Thor as well as the Avengers franchises. “The movie gets better as it goes along,” says Dominique Marinelli, Class of 2014. “It left you hanging, and if you liked the first Thor movie, you will enjoy the sequel.”
    The film was a perfectly blended mix of comedy, drama, and action; it was enjoyed by audiences everywhere. This movie was much darker, as well as more comedic than the first Thor film that hit theaters in 2011, which first satisfied many Marvel fans around the globe. The Dark World also contained several cameos made by other people involved in the superhero world, hysterical scenes and lines (mostly brought about by Tom Hiddleston, who returned to the franchise as the mischievous Loki), sudden and heart-stopping plot twists, and two secret scenes that happen after the credits rolled. Thor: The Dark World truly deserved its place at the top of the box office and will always have a home in the hearts of audiences everywhere.
