Very surprised by generous rating.

Rating: 4/10 (24 August 2014)

The first film was excellent; it was a great mix of humour, action and interesting characters with a strong storyline in the beautiful world of asgard (especially in 3D) I was really looking forward to the sequel but was bitterly disappointed.
Asgard and Thor's supporting characters made a very cameo appearances and much of the film was based on earth with Kat (Darcy Lewis), Jane (Natalie Portman), and Kat's love interest (who wasn't in the first film). I appreciate the inclusion of Thor's love, Jane, but the other two had too much time and I don't think are interesting enough characters.
The action scenes were short and none come anywhere near matching the opening fight scene with the frost giants in the first film.
Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and Tom Hiddleston (Loki) played their roles well but with a weak script it wasn't enough to save it.
