Thor: The Dark World
Overview
Thor fights to restore order across the cosmos… but an ancient race led by the vengeful Malekith returns to plunge the universe back into darkness. Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Enough with the appetite-whetting experiments. Just wake me when The Avengers: Age of Ultron is here.
A wildly uneven but entertaining sequel to one of Marvel Comics' most enduring franchises.
The Crocodile Dundee II of superhero films-in a good way!
Though hardly a must-see, Thor: The Dark World is better than the original: a looser, loopier hybrid of science fiction and fantasy powered by a pair of magnetic performances and leavened with a number of truly witty moments.
