Thor: The Dark World is a great continuation in the Marvel Universe and it’s a better direction than Iron Man 3.

| Original Score: A- | Aug 15, 2024

The high-fantasy worldbuilding and story align with what the Norse mythological superhero's adventures should be – generic villain notwithstanding.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 16, 2024

It’s by no means a great movie or anything, but it’s got a very good Tom Hiddleston performance and moves at a satisfying clip.

| Feb 27, 2024

Dives deeper into the lore and mythology of the character more than other MCU entries, but there might be a reason other entries are more surface-level adventures.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 20, 2023

In going full fantasy, "Thor: The Dark World" has plenty to entertain the masses, but loses a little of the coherence we enjoyed from other better Marvel films.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 4, 2023

The Dark World does mark a downturn in quality compared to the films before it, but with the benefit of hindsight it is clear it is better than a lot of them that came after.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jun 9, 2023

For my money all of the film’s different storylines are told well even though there are a few small shortcomings.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 25, 2022

It can’t compare with other entries in the ever-expanding Avengers universe.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 19, 2022

Hemsworth and Hiddleston are enough to give this movie an A, but graphics are stellar and the humor is great. Whatever failures they had (...) are band-aided by that.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Oct 9, 2021

Somehow, the film is able to keep itself afloat and prevent it all from becoming a total train wreck.

Thor: The Dark World isn't a bad film, but it's decidedly average, which in a "cinematic universe" full of really enjoyable films makes it stand out as bad...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 14, 2021

Once the movie gets the exposition out of the way and gets into the gags and the action it hammers home the good stuff.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 1, 2021

The effects-laden imagery provides genuine awe as the filmmakers parade an impressive variety of otherworldly sights through action sequences with thundering fervor.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 4, 2020

It's also a film more grounded in emotion even amidst a serious amping up of the action that one might expect and hope for from a superhero film.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 26, 2020

A goofy, clunky film more interested in fitting with the rest of the Marvel Universe than in telling its own fully developed story.

| Original Score: C- | Jul 23, 2020

To give Marvel credit, even though the formula is basic, they remain incredibly consistent.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 16, 2020

A far more entertaining and superior film to the first Thor. It keeps my interest throughout, has great humour, great characters, great set-pieces, some stunning visuals - what more could you ask for?

| Jul 12, 2020

Thor: The Dark World, allows for a certain broadening of horizons, bringing in magic and mythology, whilel keeping a distinct sci-fi edge.

| Original Score: B | Jul 8, 2020

The biggest problem with the movie is that it's boring.

| Apr 24, 2020

It looked cheap.
