A pretty forgettable entry in the Marvel catalogue

Rating: 5/10 (2 February 2014)

I was a big fan of Marvel comics when I was a kid. The stories were always more sophisticated than these modern movies, so I usually feel disappointed. The first "Thor" was probably the best of the lot, but sadly the sequel fails short.
This movie doesn't take itself as seriously as its predecessor. There are a constant stream of cheesy one-liners and occasionally one manages to be funny.
Thor and Loki are well played as usual, but Portman's character is just annoying and uneven. Her romance with Thor is about as bad as 'Star Wars Attack of the Clones'. I don't think this is Portman's fault; I just don't think the producers of this movie were very ambitious.
