Guess what’s happening at the beginning of this film? To pull that off he has acquired the Aether, a potent bit of phlebotinum that will wipe everything out - but only once every 5000 years, when all of the Nine Realms are in perfect alignment. A total blank page of a character, Malekith’s undersold motivation is actually cool: our universe supplanted his, and he wants to destroy us all for it.


Once again opening on an ancient battle, Thor: The Dark World finds all Nine Realms under assault by Malekith, a Dark Elf older than the universe.

Freed at last from the prison of a crummy New Mexico movie town, Thor finally flies high in Thor: The Dark World, a film whose main problem is that it has too much going on and moves too fast in order to fit in all the action, mythology and madness.
