Verdict: A smart, funny superhero film
Story: As a story on its own it will be very hard to pick up and watch and really understand what is going on. (6/10) As part of the franchise this is brilliant story that offers some much need reunion between Thor and Jane. It also gives us a conclusion to Loki story but leaving enough doors open for a Thor sequel as well as an events to return for the Avengers. (9/10)
Actor Review: Chris Hemsworth – Thor goes against orders to save the day much like the first Thor. Chris was made for this role and continues to do a great job in the role. Star Performance Award, Iconic Performance Award, Action Star Award (9/10)
Actor Review: Natalie Portman – Jane Foster the human love interest that’s curiosity gets the better of her. I feel like this role could go to a more unknown actress as someone of Natalie calibre needs to be in a more dominate screen role. (6/10)
Actor Review: Tom Hiddleston – Loki the scene steals of the Avengers but locked up due to events in that film. Helps Thor escape to stop Malekith. Tom has made a real name for himself in this film and with the role he continues to be the star of the show. Scene Stealer Award, Favourite Character Award (9/10)
Actor Review: Christopher Eccleston – Malekith the leader of the Dark Elves who want to take control of all realms. Good villain role from a very capable actor. (8/10)
Director Review: Alan Taylor – The first steps into movies and he does an excellent job fitting into the world created by previous directors. (9/10)
Action: The action scenes are very ambitious and stand out. (9/10)
Adventure: The adventure side of the film is good. (8/10)
Fantasy: With the creations of Asgard we get a brilliant fantasy world. (10/10)
Special Effects: Brilliant special effects all round. (10/10)
Believability: No but what comic book it? (0/10)
Chances of Tears: No (0/10)
Settings: The setting put together brilliantly be it Asgard, The Dark World or London. (9/10)

I’m curious about this one. I loathed the first Thor flick – thought it was easily the worst superhero flick since the Bana Hulk flick – but I’d LIKE to dig the storyline, so I’ll give this one a chance in the hopes that it’s a significantly stronger film than its predecessor. I’ll admit though, I can’t stand the dude that plays Loki. Rubs me the wrong way every time I see him.
