I seem to spend a lot of time reviewing sequels having not seen the first movie, So I took opportunity of the Thor & Thor: The Dark World double bill to ensure that I have seen both.
The other thing I tend to say a lot when reviewing sequels when I have seen the original is that it's not as good as the first film. Thor is perhaps one of those exceptions where the sequel is better than the original.
With a lot of the soul searching and character building done and out of the way in Thor. The Dark World is a much more set piece superhero action movie, and more what you expect when watching a Marvel Movie, with an increase of threat and tension than the original, this feels like a proper superhero film.
Performances in both movies from Hemsworth and Portman are excellent, the storyline is great, some amusing jokes littered throughout and with a closing line that poses far more questions than it answers, the franchise is nicely set up for Thor 3 and/or Avengers 2.
If you are a Marvel Fan, then I probably don't need to say you will enjoy this, but even if you are not a huge superhero fan, this is still a very good watch 9/10
