Only the names are from Norse mythology

Rating: 3/10 (20 June 2014)

Thor: The Dark World. Had to watch it over three days, since I kept getting distracted by other things. E-mail, Facebook, coffee, BOREDOM.
Any relation between this and Norse mythology is merely in the names. Thor could not fly; he rode a chariot. His hammer only returned to him if he wore magic gloves. Frigga was not Thor's mother, Jörð was Odin's love and Thor's mother. Loki was not evil, merely a particularly annoying practical joker and mischief maker. Odin was not a peace keeper, he was a pure warmonger always willing to start a fight. Sif was not a warrior, she was goddess of the harvest and grain--and blond. Of all the characters depicted in this movie, only Heimdall was fairly accurate. Natalie Portman is always pleasant to see, but her limited role in this film was not enough to salvage this pathetic excuse for a movie.
IMDb viewers gave this movie a 7.2, obviously because they have more familiarity with Marvel comics than Norse mythology. Very sad.
