Review – Thor: The Dark World

I’ve watched this three times now, not because it’s especially good (or especially bad either) but because I keep falling asleep somewhere in the middle and missing scenes. It must just be that I’m not getting enough rest at night, because this isn’t an especially dull movie. Our Asgardian hero enlists the aid of his adopted brother and human girlfriend to battle dark elves (they’re more menacing than they sound) who are trying to destroy the universe. Long on expensive, noisy effects and short on clever plot elements, this will serve you well if you’re in the mood for superhero-intensive entertainment. I do note, however, that these Marvel movies are beginning to get so interconnected that they may become hard to follow unless you’ve seen all of them. Mildly amusing
