Ranking the Series: The Marvel Cinematic Universe

May 6, 2014 by Gary Collinson

8. Thor: The Dark World (2013)

The first Thor film did something that a lot of people thought couldn’t be done – take a character like Thor and convert his world from the comics to the big screen. This sequel is a slight step down from the first film but does have some redeeming qualities. Our villain this time around, Malekith (Christopher Eccleston), is extremely weak with almost none of the scenes with him working, except the action scenes. Thankfully, Tom Hiddleston returns as Loki and does a great job once again. There is also just a little too much humor thrown in when there didn’t need to be. Despite its shortcomings Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman are both good in their roles once again and the action scenes are better than in the first film, especially the final battle.
