Great but not as good as the first

Rating: 8/10 (18 July 2019)

Thor: The Dark World is a great sequel but it isn't as good as the previous Thor. Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman once again give great performances and Tom Hiddleston is reliably perfect. The CG is good and the action is enjoyable. There's some surprises in the narrative and emotional scenes. The music by Brian Tyler is really good. Unfortunately, the film wastes Christopher Eccleston as an extremely forgettable villain.
