Thor: The Dark World Isn't Very Bright

Rating: 6/10 (27 November 2013)

Super hero movies can be great when done right (The Dark Knight), but they are such money makers that studios just put out the same unoriginal movies & sit back as the masses give them millions, not caring about quality.
Thor: The Dark World is an example.
The story line is very boring and develops awkwardly. Once more, the viewers are left in the dark (pun intended) when trying to understand Thor's dimensions, parallel universes, worlds, and how to travel between them. There are plenty of action scenes,and -- differently than other super hero movies -- there's comic relief during the fights so we are not actually bored for 15 minutes as the hero and villain ultimately destroy a city (cough cough Man of Steel); which is good.
The acting is fine, but not superb. I will point out to Kat Dennings as a bright spot, and Loki is always an enjoyable character.
Other than that, the directing is not original, the plot repetitive, and the actors not that exciting.
But, if in comparison to other super hero movies of nowadays, this one fares above the average. Good watch if what you want is some action to live up your rainy, Sunday afternoon on the couch.
