Why do people like it? I just don't get it. Generic flat characters, and predictable plot ... The movie is ok to pass the time, but nothing more. And ,Dark Elves , seriously?

The design for this movie was magnificent. Props to all the creative minds who worked on it.

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.

Continuing the second phase of Marvel's cinematic onslaught, begun several months prior with Iron Man 3, Thor's encore solo performance is a markedly stronger, more focused effort than his first. Though Earth still factors into the mix, particularly in the clever, gripping climactic fight scene, there's no mistaking that this is Asgard's story and that clear emphasis, missing from the original, makes a big difference. As a distinctly fantasy-laden epic, it also benefits from a fresh, authentic flavor that its stable-mates just can't match. There's more to see than smashed skyscrapers and flattened taxi cabs in Thor's world, and that brand of open possibility makes the realm an absolute delight to swallow up. As visual feasts go, this is at or near the top of the pile - it's gorgeous, innovative and generally unlike anything else in modern cinema, a stuffed bagful of sensory treats. The acting, too, has taken a grand step up since our last trip across the rainbow bridge. Surprisingly, this time Natalie Portman comes across as a clunky third wheel: Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston provide the real intrigue, hammering home Thor's complicated relationship with his conniving adopted brother, Loki. A fantastically imaginative flick, well-paced and triumphantly acted, that does something its precursor couldn't: whet my appetite for a sequel.

Enjoyed more than i expected..Had some good plot twists 7.5/10
