...and here we are again. Old review below because...well...every point still stands.
Despite having one of the best scores of any of the Marvel movies, Thor: The Dark World is one of the weakest outings in the Marvel franchise.
Lack of chemistry between the leads, plot holes deeper than the Mariana Trench, and a lead that seems to be unable to decide if he's a deity or a lovesick puppy doesn't make a masterpiece...
The story had potential, but somewhere along the line things got screwed up. Everything feels a bit "chopped up", which again makes things a bit hard to piece together. Sloppy work...
Thor: The Dark World does as many things wrong as the first one did right. Although...it has a few redeeming factors. It looks great, the score is to die for, and we get to see a bit of Jamie Alexander as Lady Sif.
The only thing I want to add is that why I was and am quite hard on this, is because Thor is the hero in the MCU that has the most potential for EPIC stories. I really wish they would have done more with this. As it stands it's just a forgettable time waster.
