Thor: The Dark World fails on the same points as its predecessor, but in an even more remarkable way. Although the dark tone suits it well for the most part and the main character is given plenty to do, the film succumbs under its own weight trying to focus on an unsubstantial villain with no development and unnecesary plot twists that are only there to push the story forward. The action sequences are an improvement over the ones on 2011's Thor, but other than that, little else can be said about this forgettable entry.
