![]() There are fewer fish out of water jokes that I enjoyed in the first film. It makes Chris Hemsworth look like a boring actor when we've seen how charismatic he can be, like he was in Rush, with the right material and director. Thor (Hemsworth) is a blank slate who swings his hammer and growls at people. Little effort has been exhausted into humanising these characters. ![]() How many filmmakers today would crawl over broken glass for a cast featuring Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins, Idris Elba, Tom Hiddleston, Chris O'Dowd and Stellan Skarsgard? With such talent it's not unreasonable then to ask for more than obligatory special effects and indistinguishable villains, who are included only to prop up pseudo- scientific plot points. Some even complained The Dark Knight Rises had too many story threads. While Christopher Nolan's Batman films have achieved financial success without succumbing to simplified narrative lines. Earlier this year, Iron Man 3 became one of the top five highest grossing films of all time. There is no financial risk to comic book adaptations anymore to justify this kind of dumbing down. What's confusing about the deliberate complacency in the script is that it's entirely unnecessary. Aside from less than a handful of funny self-referencing points, this is a hugely disappointing by the numbers blockbuster that under services its embarrassingly rich cast and offers its enormous fanbase too little that is challenging, inspired or even surprising. This sequel, following Kenneth Branagh's reasonably funny 2011 film, was written by no less than five writers, who between them have only mustered another dull, achingly generic story about saving the world. Thor: The Dark World left me wondering why for all its popularity and box office hype the superhero genre so regularly fails to ignite the faintest trace of excitement and imagination in its narrative and storytelling. ![]() Reviewed by Likes_Ninjas90 4 / 10 It's time that comic book fans started to demand more from these films before the entire genre evaporates into a disposable, commercialised heap like it does here Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all."
