I don't think the Thor movies are all that bad. They aren't as good as they could and should be, but they aren't bad movies. I have half a dozen little grievances, but the primary problem, the one I really want to see corrected going forward, is Thor being so vastly depowered.
I get that you need Thor to be less powerful than he has been in the comics, but he was really brought low, especially in Dark World. Thor should have smashed Kurse into paste without much trouble. Thor should have been the obvious victor in that fight, but as it turned out, Loki looked as if he was Thor's equal. And the final battle with Malekith, there was waaaaaaaaay too much super science from Jane and company, and not near enough thunderstorm/lightning/hammer combat badassery from Thor.
I want to see Thor's weather powers being utilized for more than rain/no rain gag bits, and I want to see Thor's hammer combat look faster, cleaner, and more precise, instead of just one slow, lumbering power shot after another.
