Deadbeat Revisits: ‘Thor: The Dark World’

DBC: “Thor: The Dark World is Jane Foster’s movie. The film finds in Jane both narrative potential and recognition that Thor isn’t all that interesting by himself. And with Thor: Love and Thunder putting the hammer in her hand and the winged helm on her head, it’s difficult to ignore The Dark World because it’s now difficult to ignore Jane Foster. It’s the Natalie Portman show, and problems arise whenever or wherever the film forgets or ignores that.”
