It's dark alright but not in a good way.

Rating: 5/10 (11 March 2015)

The rating on IMDb is misleading. The movie is average 5/10 at best. The plot of the movie is that Thor must fight the dark elves who use ether as some sort of weapon. The acting is okay. Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins were competent in their roles. The standout was Tom Hiddleston who played Loki. Kat Dennings of Two Broke Girls fame plays the intern is there for the comic relief. However as other users have mentioned, the humour is not funny but rather irritating. She too has an intern and he comes off as an idiot and not in a funny way. This movie has some amazing special effects and scenery, however unless the plot is of good standard, special effects can only carry it so far. The action scenes with Thor are bloodless thanks to a pg13 rating and are not that great. This movie is worth a hire or wait for it to come on free to air TV.
