Thor: The Dark World (2013)

Written by r96sk on January 17, 2021

One of my favourites from the MCU's opening eight releases. Judging by that average rating: Shows what I know, eh?

I seriously enjoyed 'Thor: The Dark World', with it not only surpassing its predessceor from 2011 but all bar 'Captain America: The First Avenger' in the MCU thus far also. Each to their own, as always, but I found it great.

Loved the score, one of the more memorable ones from the Marvel Cinematic Universe at this point. I also found the pacing to be near perfect, while the humour fits very well. The plot is entertaining.

Chris Hemsworth is great as Thor, while Natalie Portman gives a performance worth noting - unlike in the original. I admit I wasn't overly happy to see Tom Hiddleston appear again, given his character isn't good enough to be in three MCU films, but he is satisfactory here. The rest of the cast are solid, too.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, what can I say?
