Thor 2


Towards the tail end of the interview, Alan Taylor talks about scenes with Odin (Anthony Hopkins), Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) and Malekith (Christopher Eccleston) that were cut short to fit into the 112 minute theatrical cut. Perhaps they'll show up on a director's cut?

Malekith(especially), The Dark Elves and the Warriors Three definitely got the shaft in this. Editing was also dodgy at times as a result of the blatantly cut scenes.

Batman and Robin director's cut would be a nice gift for the fans :)

@beto

I think Crow: The Wicked Pray deserves director's cut as well.

let's not forget about:

Clash of the Titans
Ghost Rider
FF
Punisher: War Zone
Cowboys & Aliens
Max Payne
Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li
Resident Evil: Degeneration
The Three Musketeers

i think the Traveler with Val Kilmer should be showned in 3D as well. You can mix it up with Killshot. Two tickets for a price of one ;)

You'll be dissapointed if you wait for the second one, it's not really worth it all, imo they messed it up, there's a scene before the end of the movie that should have been the post credits scene, as it's a big cliffhanger, but instead they made a scene that should have been at the end of the movie the post-credits scene.

@batz11 ive seen another interview where he talks about how he would love to work with Marvel again, be it tv or another movie, think he brings up Dr. Strange. I think its just that he is very matter of fact and doesnt sugar coat everything that takes people by surpise.

I really enjoyed the film i just remembered the hype that Malekith got after announcement as a villain and after seeing the movie, i was very surprised to find out that he was pretty one dimensional. by the sound of this that wasn't due to lack of trying, so here's to a proper director's cut with the bad guys getting their due

Thor and the Asgardians fight to save the 9 worlds and practically the Universe itself. This involved scenes from different worlds that could've definitely made ALL of LOFTR movies truly pale in comparison. Yet, all Marvel could do for this particular movie is make it the shortest Marvel Movie ever!!! While other Marvel movies that does not involve such high stakes gets to be much longer. Does this make ANY perfect sense to anyone here? Forget about all of them Blu ray credits!!! If those critical deleted scenes were extraordinarily essential for this movie- Marvel should've gone for ALL THE MARBELS to make it the best Super-Hero movie ever- and cash BIG!!!

"WHAT ? Only 112 minutes for Thor: The Dark World ? That's insane, make it longer, pleeeeaase!"

"WHAT ? I have to wait 5 minutes for the credits to roll to see more than those 112 minutes ? That's insane, make it mid-credit, my attention span can't take all this suffering !"

Keep going, you entertain me.

One of the things I'm learning how critics basically get around keeping the scores on rotten tomatoes for bad movies artificially high (I guess they satisfy their sponsors with a fresh rating this way) by giving the movie a fresh rating but if you read the review, you can see they actually say it sucks in so many ways. I haven't seen it yet, but by readin the reviews, many of the fresh reviews make it clear the movie has any number of flaws. Even reading between the lines of Taylor's comments above, you can tell he knows they ruined his vision of the movie, but they are paying him millions of dollars so he is trying to sell it all the same during the roll out.

having seen T:TDW, I think Alan Taylor should direct a new Star Wars movie. the action in TDW is VERY Star Wars inspired.

Thor 2 was a joy ride but I after watching this interview really really really want to see Thor TDW Extended Edition. Do it up like LOTR. There's no admission of an inferior cut - it's just another version. And if there's money to be made Marvel will make it happen. Do it Marvel and take my money already.
