My honest opinion.
Movie started out slow but it got better in a hurry. Definate better than the first. My MAIN complaint. At this point when Thor comes to earth how can SHIELD be involved in a threat like that? It just seems like they needed a way to shoot footage on earth which is dumb when you don't include the avengers. Movie would've been better had it not been shot on earth and honestly Thor's love interest with Portman basically makes part of the storyline cheesy and out of place.
The way I see it, the final battle from a earth perspective.... Took place I'm like 20 mins. On top of that, the enemy appeared with no warning or prep. Now even though SHIELD spose to be everywhere to a degree... For the most part it's satellite teams, the main ship be in other countries.
Unless they were already in the UK, I think it would've been crazy and kinda cheeses if they just popped up in 10 from another continent!!
. It was kinda Whedony honestly, though usually not as smart. The thing with the coathanger though for some reason had me rollin and it was so simple.
I would've thought they would've kept tabs on Portman and that old guy. But again I think portman's role is useless and she's simply there for the obligatory love interest. And the fact that she found the aether before shield was
