Was entertaining enough i guess, one of those movies where you say it was good for what it was.
The humour was quite good at a few parts but embarassing at others.
Malekith was forgettable. He was a character with a legacy but you asked why, he never seemed to live up to this badass the movie was telling you he was, he pretty much left everything to the henchmen.
The Aether power that was the maguffin of the movie and the convergance event was continually told in exposition, but it was a case of talking alot but saying little, pretty much saying the same thing but using different words and telling us once was enough.
This movie tried to be the most dramatic of the MCU ones and imo it didn't really work as well as they intended. If it was just the Asgard scenes it would've acomplished it's goal but the Earth subplots and humour right after got in the way.
Same can be said for the first movie but the Earth scenes in those had Thor and were done better than this.
Hemsworth was the highlight, he did good in the role. Portman phoned it in imo, she seemed to just go through the motions. I liked Levi as Fandrall.
Spoilers for my thoughts on some scenes.
The mad scientist in his pants. No, just No!
Darcy and her Intern buddy were a distraction that brought boredom and held back the movie.
The B-Wing starfighters were good to show alien tech but Asgard going from swords and shields and horses to defence cannons and flying skiffs seemed at odds.
A number of scenes telegraphed things, you could easily see them coming. like Thor losing his hand, it was obvious a soon as Malekith started leeching Jane that he was fine and it was an illusion, same with Lokis death
Friggas death failed to impact on me since we didn't have a connection to her, if it was Odin or Sif it would've been much more powerful as they are more developed character in the series.
Captain Americas cameo was frankly silly and done just for "oh hey look its him" sake
Seeing it tomorrow, was meant to go today but had work to finish. Looking forward to it and hopefully some hints at GOTG or Thanos etc. Bascially some cosmic marvel stuff.
