Thor: The Dark World
The gloves are off and Marvel is in full story mode in line with what you’d expect to see in a well written and drawn comic, even if we’re not entirely aligned with the original works. Definitely high-fantasy, but good characterisation and story arcs with humorous flourishes. Hiddleston excels with Loki and Thor feels more mature now. Nothing too involved overall, but a good fantasy sci-fi action movie.
Overview
Thor fights to restore order across the cosmos… but an ancient race led by the vengeful Malekith returns to plunge the universe back into darkness. Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all.
