*SPOILERS*

I really liked the movie, I think it was better than the first. It was cool for many reasons, but here is my main point.

Everyone threatens to kill Loki if he betrays Thor, I thought about and don't think he actually did. He runs Algrim thru which doesn't appear to kill him, hence the Loki killing hug. So Loki fakes death. But this seems a reasonable strategy against a foe even Thor couldn't overpower. And while he tricks Thor into thinking he is dead, he does this after the battle at hand is over. So while he desserts Thor before the final battle with Malekith, this is also his only chance to avoid prison. Maybe he would have taken another stab at Algrim if needed.

Also totally needed in the movie, because after the events in Avengers, the world might not have looked kindly on Thor and Loki showing up working together. Would likely have destroyed Thor's rep.

So was there a betrayal here? Or was he just employing a useful battle tactic, then ceasing the chance to get away from Agardian jail?

He has supplanted Thor's father and is sitting on the throne of Asgard. That's a betrayal.

Well ok, I guess there is that.

I was literally laughing in the theater (I tried to stifle myself as much as possible) at the opening. It was just so over the top and ridiculous. The rest was very fun.

Tom's right.

I might see this on Friday. My brother wants to see it in 3D but I don't think it's worth it.

I'm more looking forward to the next Captain America.

I sort of think he just impersonated Odin, and didn't really remove him. Like Odin just happened to be out of the room when Thor was there. I'm probably wrong, and I'm not saying Loki is good now by any means, just saying while he is still sneaky, conniving, and evil, he didn't directly double cross Thor.

Also JonHecht, which part of the opening was so ridiculous? The battle in Vanaheim came off as sort of silly so I'm guessing that, or Thor's angst maybe. Maybe Loki's "trial" or do you mean the war with the dark Elves? That part didn't seem that funny to me.

And i am also really looking forward to Captain America.
