Thor: The Dark World
The upside to being the God of Thunder is that you have a solid excuse every time you fart.
Thankfully, the fair-haired deity in this action movie isn't passing gas.
When a cosmic event creates porticos between realms, Thor's (Chris Hemsworth) girlfriend Jane (Natalie Portman) travels through one portal and ends up being contaminated by an ancient weapon.
Jane's contagion awakenings a Dark Elf (Christopher Eccleston) who wants to use her ailment to bring about the elves evil empire.
To prevent this, Thor must collaborate with his greatest enemy - his incarcerated half- brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston).
And it's solely that brotherly interplay that makes this sequel acceptable.
While all the exciting elements of the original are present, Dark World lacks a villain with enough oomph to save a simplistic script that fails to venture beyond its comic book derivation.
Incidentally, the Mighty Thor is the ideal Halloween costume for Jesus.
