Thor? More like Bore

Rating: 5/10 (13 November 2013)

The Marvel factory rolls on, and the next widget down the assembly line is 'Thor: The Dark World'. Devoid of much of the wit, heart and character development that made the first 'Thor' a surprisingly solid stand-alone film, 'The Dark World' tries to skate along on its breathtaking visuals and the good will created by 'The Avengers'. It doesn't succeed. From its info-dump opening to its dull, drawn out finale, I never gave two Sifs about anything or anyone in this film.
After this past Summer's dreadfully dull and lifeless 'Iron Man 3', Marvel's post-'Avengers' slate is now a big 0-2. Sadly, they can't hear my complaints over the sound of ringing cash registers.
