Guys, I just don't get sequels, and this is one great example why. They just seem so pointless. We *saw* a movie about Thor already, and this doesn't add anything to it or make his overall story arc more interesting. It's just more of the same, but slightly less fun. I enjoyed the first Thor movie partly because of the campy Shakespearean grandioseness of Asgard, and a lot of that feel is lost here to a pretty serious plot. I wasn't drawn in by this at all. Frankly, I might not even remember I watched it six months from now. 2 stars.
Flickchart: #1481 out of 2051, below Bedtime for Bonzo and above Winter's Bone.
Rent it on Amazon.
