Thor: The Dark World (2013)

Directed by Alan Taylor this film stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Hopkins and Stellan Skarsgard. With a rare planetary alignment soon to arrive dark forces seek their revenge on Asgard.

Compared to the first Thor film this film does a much better job of capturing the scale of what you would expect from a film about about Asgard. Where the film is weaker is that despite being a better spectacle it really lacks any sort of character arc for any of the main characters or even the antagonists. Generally the film has decent special effects and is well made but does nothing above and beyond the call of duty.
