Good for a Sci-Fi Channel StarTrek Knockoff

Rating: 4/10 (23 November 2013)

I thoroughly enjoyed the first Thor. It was better than expected and was not an entirely by the numbers hero movie. This one, on the other hand, is not only a cliché soap opera movie, but confused as what it wants to be.
Half the beginning forces rom-com background music on us & the other half is full of ironic quips & other shenanigans that belong in a Jim Carrey film.
The story, villain, and connectivity to The Avengers is laughable and the cliché humanoid 60's Star Trek aliens take you out of the movie.
This should have been a home run but it's quite disappointing if looking at it objectively and not as a drooling Avengers fanboy.
I admit some plot twist had me excited for moments and the acting was solid.
Too much Whiny sidekick girl & black swan chick but 4/10 is being generous either way.
