Thor - The Dark World: Hard Forged Edition

I enjoyed the original THOR THE DARK WORLD immensely. It was solid, if predictable, comic book formula fun.

But I must admit, I enjoyed TM2YC's version equally. I think the reordered scenes play stronger, but at the same time I felt the first act was a bit too plot driven, I think I would have preferred one or two breather scenes (the hall or Thor with Frigga).

This is definitely a faster paced, roller coaster ride edit, and it is very fun.
Video quality is excellent and technically I could find no fault with any of the new scenes, cuts or new fx. The new subtitles are excellent and a vast improvement over the original.

Great entertainment and well worth watching!
Thumbs Up! :)

Very good edit. Agreed with all of the changes, and the picture quality/technical efforts were excellent. I would consider this a replacement version for any future viewings. I still don't love the movie, but the edit is solid and does what it claims to on the box. Well done!

I was one of the very few people who actually kind of liked "Thor: Dark World". My main problems with it were the, now, infamous Marvel humor. I mean, especially having Thor and the main villain at end of the movie where they're fighting, act like clowns, was unforgiveable for me. Plus, all the other ridiculous scenes throughout the movie. My enjoyment factor was like a 6-7. When I found this edit, I was excited not only because of the humor removal, but also because of the plot changes/fine-tuning.

Quality and audio/visual editing was great! I didn't notice or "felt" that any scenes were tampered with in any way. So, no complains here, well done!

Narrative wise, always the most important part, it was a significant improvement over the theatrical one! I was really enjoying this film, up until the third act, were I realized the editor left all the ridiculous humor of the final fight intact. I seriously couldn't believe it..I mean, why? You did such a good job up until now. I was so frustrated that this was my only gripe, that I actually edited this myself. Obviously, I'm not as skilled, I used jump cuts, but I preferred it over having Thor sliding at the glass with the classic silly sound or taking the metro. I also edited out a scene at the restaurant with Darcy, Jane and her date, which did nothing for me plot wise or humor wise, and thus I got my ultimate version of the movie and took my enjoyment factor to a 9!

Be that as it may, I still recommend this edit to anyone who found the film mediocre and disliked the bad humor, but watch this knowing that the humor at the end is almost intact!

Thank you TM2YC and thanks to anyone who read my review!

TM2YC vastly improved this movie for me, personally (now i give it a 7 instead of an 5) His rearranging and altered narritive is more enjoyable than the theatrical release. But to be honest i didn´t expect less from him^^

Technical editing is outstanding as always. My only gripe would be, that the video quality is lower than i expected regarding the source material, got some DVD vibes but still 1080p.

TM2YC does it again, taking another film I don't have much of a fondness of and turning it into gold. Much of the changes made are smart ones, especially removing the pointless love triangle between Thor, Jane, and Lady Sif. Cutting out the opening prologue and instead re-inserting it as a flashback sequence when Odin tells Thor about the Aether is also a very wise move. I also loved how the dialogue for the Dark Elves is changed to lend it more gravitas and make them more interesting as characters, along with cutting much of the unnecessary exposition to keep things moving smoothly. A story and characters that were once uninteresting are now involving and given legitimate weight. I'm kind of shocked by how much I liked this. Absolutely the definitive version of this film.
