Better with repeat viewings

Totally agree with you. This is my favorite Marvel movie series. I absolutely adored Thor 1, and thought this was very good on first viewing, but not quite the original. Seeing it here and there after has made me grow even more fonder to it.

Prometheus is another movie that I just absolutely loved on second viewing, but I was just left saying okay okay pretty decent on the first.

It holds up very well. It was always good but the more you break it down the more you must acknowledge that Dark World is a great sequel.

I don't fancy watching it more than once, thanks...

Just rewatched it yesterday. Nope. Still bad. Dark elves with lasers. Asgard with laser turrets and laser swords. Goblins/orcs with laser bazookas. Monsters with hand grenades. And the dark elves looked like Teletubbies.

Seriously. Compare:

Pretty sad.

As bad as it was, it did have good moments as it schlepped along its tepid story. The Loki/Thor scenes are all great. Hiddleston's Loki is always perfect. Sadly they gave him expert mele skills in this instead of letting him fight with spell-casting.

Thor 2 is about as good as BvS. Even when Marvel slips up and drops a deuce like this, it is still comparable to the best DC puts out.
