"Thor-The Dark World" review

I always thought that 3D was just a film making gimmick. I was wrong!! Thor-The Dark World is a 3D visual delight overshadowing a goofy script and only adequate acting. This film stands alone on the fantastic cgi and music.
Disney/Marvel shows what Hollywood has become; a big budget film factory. That's not a bad thing because the indy world can pick up the slack when it comes to stories, interesting characters and quality direction.

This "Thor" is a not to miss for the sify/fantasy fan. It didn't take itself to seriously and offered some clever humor.

yes yes..i watched last week..its great movie!, but not good in the end ,its to "easy beat the enemy",, i wonder thor fight much2 more powerfull creature, and take over the planet earth

It definitely was a spectacle. Marvel has built a formula into their films. Quite the entertaining one.

The acting was lacking(and it kind of grates on me because I know most of the cast are good actors).

The storyline came partly from a Walt Siminson storyline from the 80s(well worth a read). Being an old comic reader I appreciated that. It seemed more like a "Thor" movie to me. The directing was good. And it went a ways to progress the overall story arch in Marvel's cinematic universe.

One of my only real complaints are that Maliketh was underused and it all seemed a bit rushed. However I am admittedly spoiled by long films like Lord of the Rings and Dune.
