Drewpiter T. @RT06299656 21h This movie is overrated, and as a Loki movie it would be amazing. The problems really are the villain and somber the film feels. This movie needed more hope, and more dimensionality. See more Carlos I @Bolgsven 6d The Dark World has some strong ingredients, but it never becomes the great Thor movie it could have been. Thor and Loki are easily the best part of the film, and their scenes have emotion, tension and humour. Frigga’s death also gives the story real weight. The problem is that the main villain, Malekith, feels too flat. He looks interesting, but his motivation is not personal enough and he does not feel memorable. Jane Foster also deserved a more active role instead of mainly being used because the Aether is inside her. The film also struggles with tone. It wants to be dark fantasy, sci-fi, romance and comedy at the same time, but it never fully commits to one clear identity. The Aether matters later in the MCU, but here it feels more like a plot device than a truly frightening threat. Overall, it is watchable and has good moments, especially with Loki, but it needed a stronger villain, clearer emotional stakes and a bolder direction.

I personally didn’t love this movie, Thor was great but in comparison I can’t award this movie to be as good as mostly any Marvel I can’t say I disliked it but it isn’t a movie I’d recommend 3.5 stars, weird start, good ending See more Brendan T. @JackTheSipper712 Jun 10 Enjoyed it but wasn't amazing See more Anythang S. @AnythangStudios May 24 I like how it focuses more on Asgard than Earth, but its plot is mediocre and its villain is downright weak. See more Bret M. @BretM-3 May 24 Ahh, the first “bad” MCU movie. I hate to say it, because this will definitely be a controversial take, but I think that Thor Love and Thunder is better than this movie. Mainly because, the main complaint people have with Love and Thunder is its injection of comedy. But at least (if the joke lands) Love and Thunder can be comedic and entertaining. Dark World is so boring, it’s like the movie is encouraging me to get on my phone during it. IT’S SO BORING. Also, Love and Thunder has Gorr the God Butcher as its villain. Even though he’s not perfect, Christian Bale does a lot with the character and makes him cool. But Malekith is just boring and generic. There’s nothing memorable about him. There’s really nothing memorable about this whole movie other than the Aether setting up events to come and Loki’s death, which doesn’t even hold any weight by the end of the movie. I know the Multiverse Saga has been hit or miss and everybody praises the Infinity Saga, but this movie is worse to me. See more Read all reviews
