I already saw this movie but since I bought a brand new awesome TV, I thought I might as well check it out again. Well, 10 years after its release, it is still considered as the weakest MCU instalment but, in spite of its rather weak reputation, it is still watchable though. Indeed, it was pretty cool that most of the action was taking place in Asgard this time and it looked fine. Unfortunately, the plot was nothing really interesting, even if it became much better as soon as Loki was freed. Damned, this Tom Hiddleston guy is indeed a fine actor and Loki is an awesome character, easily one of the best villains so far in this Marvel universe. It's funny because, the first time around, I was disappointed that they killed off such a cool character but, the second time around, I was actually more disappointed that they brought him back at the end because, if Loki is really neat, it would have been more interesting to have Thor facing off someone else at some point. Anyway, Loki came in, throwing some awesome one-liners and the dynamic with his mighty brother was really entertaining. I also enjoyed the humor which they added this time and it was very welcome. However, the ending was not really amazing though. Of course, it was pretty spectacular but, seriously, at this point, we have been there, done that and bought the T-shirt a couple of times already. They really need to figure out a different way to end those super-hero flicks instead of giving us yet another huge battle in a major city, even though this time London was the victim, the outcome remains the same. The other thing that bothered me was the fact that Natalie Portman, probably one of the most interesting actresses in the world, was once again really wasted but, apparently, almost 10 years later, she is supposed to make a glorious comeback in ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’. Anyway, to conclude, even if it was nothing really mind-blowing, it was still fairly entertaining and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
