Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

yaxleycratler Despite the crappy reviews it has gotten I thought this movie was really good. The characters were more thought out and not as bland as in the first one, Hiddleston once again gives and memorable performance and I loved how they delved into his character more than any one else's. Thor was there to be awesome and Jane was also there but she wasn't as helpful as before probably because of the Aether. Malekith was a cool villain but very underdeveloped. They could've added a couple more minutes to explain his character more. Thor was also funny in this film which was nice because Thor is usually so serious. The beginning and ends of the movie were fantastic. Overall the kind of forgot the Thor and Kane live affair and opted for a good movie.

TheNameBrand Definitely below my standards for a marvel film, but I guess they've just gotten better over the years. There were some story beats that I really got into, and some plot holes from the 2nd Avengers that I missed since I never saw this. I'd rather you just look up the summary from the internet honestly, unless you're a major Thor fan, then go for it.

djfrost-46786 They tried to go funny. It's good, but why it's Jane it Thor Ragnarok.

Gavin Purtell 'Thor: The Dark World' (or 'Thor 2') is another solid entry into the Marvel Universe - it's not the best superhero film, nor is it the worst. I'm glad they've kept the cast together and hopefully Marvel can do this across all their franchises, as it gives them a bit of authenticity. It's fun to see how they link some of the threads back to 'The Avengers', particularly with Dr Erik Selvig (Skarsgård).Now, I don't know who out there actually loves Thor, because he's certainly one of my least favourite Marvel characters, especially in the comics, as he's so rigid and boring and never does anything too exciting. He's certainly no Wolverine or Spiderman. And that's the film's biggest hurdle - how to make Thor and the story interesting for 110min. It sort-of achieves this... I know it's mostly set in Asgard, a different realm, but even then there are still a few things which stretch credibility: Why do the "Dark Elves of Svartalfheim" wear puppet masks? And why do they want to destroy the universe and - presumably - themselves?What exactly is the "Ether"? It's not just an alkaline chemical...Where exactly is the "Dark World"? Is it on Asgard, or is it another realm? Is it different to the "Limbo" dimension?Is Benicio Del Toro actually needed at the end of the film?Why is Asgard so poorly defended?Why does the final confrontation take place on Earth, where the Dark Elves can be easily found? And why can't the other Avengers - or the Fantastic Four, or the X-Men - help? Especially if the future of the universe is at stake? Seems unlikely S.H.I.E.L.D. would leave this up to Thor by his lonesome...One of the big saving graces is some of the witty laughs provided by Chris O'Dowd and Kat Dennings (plus Stan Lee's patented cameo!). There's some expertly timed quips thrown in, which add some levity to what could easily become quite a cumbersome story. I think that Hopkins was pretty wasted as Odin, Hemsworth has some decent moments as Thor, but Hiddleston as Loki once again almost steals the show, because even though you may hate him, he's often so likable! A great character to hold this part of the Marvel Universe together.
