Comment Not good 5/10 (Score 1) 233
The first movie was good, pretty much the classic Hero's Journey cast in the Thor universe so it was always going to be good
This latest was basically similar to following Thor going to the gym with more explosions
Apparently he alone of all the Asguardians can't be hurt beyond the occasional scratch, he already has one of if not the most powerful weapon in the known universe, there was no real point apart from a single fight scene where it looked like he could lose. During that fight Thor gets thrown into a mountain then a massive rock thrown into him and gets 2 small scratches on his face then he is repeatedly beaten into the rocky ground (in a direct copy of the scene from Avengers with the Hulk beating Loki) by a massive Dark Elve that had with ease killed lots of Asguardian's already for quite awhile and for some reason is no more hurt then the initial 2 scratches.
The dark elves were vaguely interesting, though when arriving for the final battle that they had been preparing for over thousands of years they decided to leave behind all of their weapons which they had brought along in every other fight in the movie. Hence when the minions went after random earthlings for some reason abandoning their leader to face Thor alone they could do nothing except fruitlessly chase them around for 10 minutes...
There seems to be no logical reason that Jane was brought to the Aether instead of any other inhabitant of the 9 realms. Worse is the entire reason the Dark Elves / Aether's plans fail is Thor is using Heimdall to routinely perve on Jane, had it picked anyone else in the universe the Asguardian's would have been clueless and the Elves / Aether's plan would have been successful.
The best bits of the movie were Loki in his cell using illusions to act as if he didn't care about his step mothers death and the final scene where Loki has taken control of Asguard.
Just seems like terrible writing to try to keep Jane relevant and in the movie as a love interest for Thor and a lack of ability to make any fight seem like it was in some way difficult.
The first end credit scene with the collector was breathtakingly terrible the collector was a soft voiced unconvincing character with a jarring pink humanoid assistant. The whole scene would have felt at home in a Dr Who episode but definitely is out of place for this movie.
