worst marvel film


This has got to be the worst of a bad bunch, followed closely behind by the original thor then the avengers.
The main problem is thor himself is such a big dull dud. I think even the writer of this could see that and have loki the line "that witless oaf" in reference to his brother as a cheeky nod to this bland character, played by that plank of wood Chris Hemsworth.

The first thor at least had the sense to make most of the action take place on earth and it played on the fish out of water device.
This film takes place almost entirely on planet green screen with characters which look like cast offs from the Lord of the rings.
The only redeeming feature of this film is Natalie Portman who looks just so incredibly beautiful, even though she is portrayed as a swooning fan girl when around thor. She's supposed to be a level headed scientist but comes over, as all girls do evidently, all giddy in thor's presence.
She is a talented actress so i'm surprised she came back for the sequel. One can only assume she is contracted in a multiple picture deal. I wonder if all those zeros on her paycheck are worth the embarrassment. She must have had flashbacks of Attack of The clones when they had her dressed in the robes at the assgard palace overlooking the lake. That film almost ruined her career so she must've been pretty nervous when they recreated scenes from it here.

The lack of chemistry between the two leads is almost as bad as hers and hayden christiansen's.

I won't even get into the inconsistencies and plot holes in this film. It's a woefully bad film. Let's just hope they faze out this character for phase 3.

for her romantic scene with thor

The first thor ... played on the fish out of water device. So does this except this time the fish out of water is Jane in Asgard. A good idea, because we get to see more of Asgard and its characters, which you don't seem to have appreciated.

Shucks! That's just too bad!🐭

I was just about to use the phrase "fish out of water", but you beat me to it. Dark World do not do much to play up the fish out of water aspect with Jane, so you just got a big cartoon. First movie was much better.

There wasn't any real need to play up the "fish out of water" aspect with Jane. Once Odin realizes there is a legitimate reason for Jane to be there, he accepts that she is there and treats her with respect as he would any guest.

And, she isn't there that long before she and Thor escape.

IMO, The Incredible Hulk was the worst one of the MCU. If you include the first Hulk movie, then I'd put them as 1 & 1a.

2. Thor: The Dark World

Described by one critic as “the definition of house style”, this sequel pumps up the action and the effects and loses everything that made the original worth your while. There’s no human element here, no charm, and no resonance. It’s basically two hours of watching people run around for some reason or other.

In a perfect world, this movie would’ve deepened the mythos and beefed up its central character, introducing an element that threatened his relationship with Jane Foster before leading to much brooding followed by an epic battle. Instead, we get to see 62 year old Stellan Skarsgard running around without pants, and enough said.

Little more than a transition between Iron Man 3 and Captain America: The Winter Soldier, The Dark World’s remit appears to have been to keep the cinematic universe ticking over until the next picture comes along. Which it does. But anyone who wants some actual entertainment should look elsewhere.

The Incredible Hulk was MUCH worse than this.

tried too hard to be funny

reply

BOTH Hulk movies were better than this trash. At least they attempted to tell stories.



Thor 2-Attack of the Clones-The 5th Element the trifecta of bad movies.

reply

Wrong. Ang Lee's Hulk earns that distinction.

reply

That wasn't a Marvel STUDIOS movie. They didn't start until Iron Man.

They did do The Incredible Hulk, which was just as bad as Ang Lee's Hulk.

reply

it's up there




so many movies, so little time

I agree with OP. Although I loved the first Thor.

Iron Man 3 is close but Thor 2 really made a mess of itself in nearly DC style. I actually liked the Incredible Hulk but probably just because it was so much better than the first Hulk.

Now if you are talking about ALL CBM's based on Marvel properties then the award must go to the unreleased Fantastic Four from 1994. A very close 2nd would be the also unreleased 1990 Captain America. The Ghost Rider movies would take the prize among the ones seen on the big screen.

Thor 2 is bad. Very bad. But it is leagues better than about 12 other movies about Marvel characters.

I have to agree. This is the worst "good" movie from them. Very forgettable. Other than the Loki/Thor chemistry, everything else feels mediocre.

GOTG raised the bar, imho. So ridiculously gorgeous, so fun.
