Very enjoyable, but not flawless

Rating: 7/10 (8 February 2019)

This is certainly not a movie without some questionable parts. We have the standard bad guy who doesn't really have much motivation other than to consume everything in darkness because... well, evil?
The great positives of this movie are firstly... surprise surprise, Tom Hiddleston as Loki. Certainly my favorite part of both the first Thor movie and The Avengers, he's still fantastic in this movie. At one point his one-liners became rather tiresome, but for the most part in this movie, he's a greatly enjoyable character with the greatest character arc.
Secondly, Asgard is still just as beautiful as in the first Thor movie, if not even more beautiful. Tons of great VFX work throughout this movie makes it look gorgeous, I bought the blu-ray for this movie for the visual aspect alone.
Some negative parts of the film would be firstly as mentioned before, the "bad guy" who carry as much depth as a kiddy pool. The script overall feels a bit "meh"... with some poor dialogue throughout. Direction is also a tad messy and you can expect this whole "9 universes" thing to make up some confusing and messy scenes.
I must admit that I was afraid a huge triangle-drama would occur when Jane and Thor's female warrior buddy, Sif exchanged looks, clearly indicating Sif's jealousy towards Jane. Luckily, they never went further on this.
To conclude...
Enjoyable movie with great visual effects and most importantly, Loki.
Some negatives can be found, but overall I consider this to be among the better Marvel movies.
