在漫威開始自己製作電影以來,也就是2008年《鋼鐵人》上映以來,《雷神索爾2:黑暗世界》算是拍得比較差的。好在有湯姆希德斯頓(Tom Hiddleston)與克里斯漢斯沃(Chris Hemsworth)這兩位演員,尤其是湯姆希德斯頓,為本片加了很多分,否則這部恐怕可跳過不看了。
以下簡短交代一下劇情與人物關係。索爾﹝克里斯漢斯沃﹞與父王Odin﹝安東尼霍普金斯﹞是住在阿斯嘉的神,在經過片頭一段魔戒般的開場之後,觀眾知道他們幾千年來的敵人黑暗精靈(Dark Elves)想要取得名為《乙太》(Aether)的神奇物質,用以征服統治世界。索爾因對兩年未見的地球女友Jane Foster﹝娜塔利波曼﹞的愛,與父王意見相左;而陰錯陽差之下,Jane成了乙太物質的宿主,索爾必須與在《復仇者聯盟》中犯下大錯遭囚禁的弟弟洛基﹝湯姆希德斯頓﹞合作,才能保衛家園,並拯救所愛。
導演是導過不少集《冰與火之歌:權力遊戲》(Game of Thrones)的Alan Taylor,拍過這種奇幻史詩劇的他,對黑暗世界的整體視覺與動作戲處理的不錯,但對輕鬆幽默與黑暗沉重之間的調性轉換掌握得不穩,在該沉重的段落感受不到什麼情感重量,這非常可惜,也很令我驚訝。試想,索爾面臨九大世界(Nine Realms)的存亡之戰、又準備接班、要面對不知有何邪惡盤算的弟弟、又想讓他摯愛的凡人Jane能為父母接受...這麼多劇情線,竟然沒能令人感動。
不過,至少本片還是有些樂趣,例如我頗喜歡在英國Stonehenge的戲﹝主要是因為我喜歡Stonehenge...﹞,索爾及洛基合作作戰的戲挺不錯的,影集《破產姐妹花》(2 Broke Girls)的Kat Dennings在本片插科打渾很不賴等等。最重要的是,洛基每次出場都很有看頭,我觀賞這部片時根本都在等他的戲份。
演員部份,克里斯漢斯沃演出了成熟穩重,還有對扮演此角的自信。索爾已不像上集那樣只在乎個人榮耀,他在這集更在意的是確保他愛的人們能夠安全,克里斯漢斯沃也依角色成長改變了演法。
湯姆希德斯頓飾演的洛基帶著某種看不透的神秘特質,他瘋狂、殘忍,但又有一抹真假難辨的脆弱,讓人不曉得他到底是壞到底的魔頭,還是情感上矛盾掙扎的痛苦靈魂。他可以同時讓觀眾看見邪惡的幽默感與潛藏的受傷靈魂,完全不衝突,讓人又憐又恨,難怪他在漫威電影角色裡人氣如此高。
娜塔利波曼在本片比較像個配件,不太像個角色,而且我一絲一毫感覺不出她是科學家。我甚至有點希望她在這集乾脆被殺,也許效果還比較好。克里斯漢斯沃在跟她對戲時,經常看起來怪怪假假的,甚至有些尷尬,但克里斯漢斯沃跟湯姆希德斯頓對戲時,這兩人的相處真摯自然,各種情緒都很有說服力,難怪很多人都開玩笑說索爾與洛基才是一對。飾演女戰士Sif的Jaimie Alexander,在本片的作用類似Jane的情敵,不過她與索爾兩人互動沒太多鏡頭,沒法增添感情戲的看頭。
相較之下,Jane的助理Darcy﹝Kat Dennings飾演﹞與她的實習生Ian這對就不會那麼無趣,雖然只是配角戲,但提供一些輕鬆自然的笑點,而且這兩人感覺比索爾與Jane那對速配。不過,雖然Darcy很好笑,為本片帶來不少活力,我也很喜歡扮演她的Dennings,但仍不免感覺此角像是從別部片走進來的,跟這部不太搭。另外提一下,《伴娘我最大》裡的Chris O'Dowd飾演想追Jane的男生,蠻可愛的。
在「後復仇者聯盟」階段,漫威目前出品的電影裡,我會說《美國隊長2:酷寒戰士》最好,《星際異攻隊》緊追在後,不過想要輕鬆娛樂好好笑一笑的話,《星際異攻隊》最適合,《美國隊長2》比較嚴肅些,再來就是《鋼鐵人3》,《雷神索爾2:黑暗世界》吊車尾。
提醒:本片正片結束後有兩個彩蛋喔,一個是關於本片主角人生抉擇的補充,另一個彩蛋出現的角色在《星際異攻隊》裡有戲份。

經典對白:
***
Loki: [turns into Sif] Mmm, brother, you look ravishing!
Thor: It will not hurt any less when I kill you in this form.
Loki: Very well. Perhaps you prefer one of your new companions, given that you seem to like them so much.
[turns into Captain America]
Loki: Oh, this is much better. Costume's a bit much... so tight. But the confidence, I can feel the righteousness surging. Hey, you wanna have a rousing discussion about truth,honor, patriotism? God bless America...
***
Loki: [tries to steer the boat into a tiny crevice in the mountain wall] If it were easy, everyone would do it.
Thor: Are you mad?
Loki: Possibly.
***
Dr. Erik Selvig: Your brother isn't coming, is he?
Thor: Loki is dead.
Dr. Erik Selvig: Thank God... I'm so sorry.
***
Loki: You know this is wonderful! This a tremendous idea! Let's steal the biggest, most obvious ship in the universe and escape in that! Flying around the city, smash it into everything in sight and everyone will see it! It's brilliant Thor! It's truly brillian...
[Thor hurls Loki out of the ship, and jumps out with Jane in his arms... into a skiff piloted by Fandral]
Fandral: [laughing] I see your time in the dungeon has made you no less graceful, Loki!
Loki: You lied to me! I'm impressed.
***
Odin: She does not belong here in Asgard any more than a goat belongs at a banquet table!
Jane Foster: Did he just...?
[outraged]
Jane Foster: Who do you think you are?
Odin: I am Odin. King of Asgard. Protector of the Nine Realms.
Jane Foster: [chastened] Oh. Well I'm...
Odin: I know very well who you are, Jane Foster.
Jane Foster: [to Thor] You told your dad about me?
***
Loki: I went down to Midgard to rule the people of Earth as a benevolent God, just like you.
Odin: We are not gods! We're born, we live, we die, just as humans do.
Loki: Give or take five thousand years.
