'Thor' tops Marvel franchise films
The newest film in the Marvel franchise starts slowly, but eventually.
Marvel franchise starts slowly, but eventually, through the use of wonderful characters, amazing acting and terrific twists. "Thor: The Dark World" comes out on top. Opening with yet another threat to the entirety of civilization, this sequel follows Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) as they travel together in order to save everything from the Aether, which the Dark Elf Malekith (Christopher Eccleston) is hoping to gain complete power and control of. Of course, by the end of the film it seems as though the good guys have yet again won, although, as is common in Marvel films, things are not always as they seem
However, it is not necessarily
the plot that makes the film so enjoyable. Rather, it is Loki, with his continual character development, who steals the show. Loki's character is so dynamic in this film that he makes up for the lack of strong characters elsewhere. Thor is strong and beautiful, as always, while Jane is mostly just beautiful. What is missing from this particular sequel is more character development from these two. Thor, by the end, seems to have learned a little bit

more, but as far as Jane goes, she seems to almost become a useless character, other than the fact that Thor is in love with her. She is not able to fight her own battles and seems to stumble across the major discoveries that happen on her part, and only stumbles upon them with the help of her co-workers.
Another major point missing from the film is the assistance of S.H.I.E.L.D. While mentioned quite a few times, and even referenced by Loki at one point, they never come to help our heroes - even in the final major battle scene. Have they given up on Thor? Or was it just an oversight, seeing as The Avengers 2 is on the way and "The Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D" is currently on air? That is one of the questions we might never get the answer to. Despite all the little hiccups, the film is a success overall. The plot is fun and intriguing, the jokes are spot-on and the addition of new characters is perfect, but the film still gives enough screen time to the old favorites. I would not only recommend this film for fans of the Marvel Universe, but really for anyone looking for an entertaining and enjoyable film.
