Critics have mixed reviews over the newly released Marvel film "Thor: The Dark World."

While some critics have admittedly called it great fun to watch, several others have said that it was only showing off on CGI built over a clunky dialogue. 

But all critics agree that they like Loki.

Played by an ever charismatic Tom Hiddleston, critics praise his performance as "the spooful of sugar that helps this medicine go down." His lines and angles tower above everybody else' in "Thor: The Dark World," and Hiddleston gives the scheming, antagonistic Loki a graceful, fragile demeanor. 

From here on end are spoilers from "Thor: The Dark World."

Natalie Portman's character, Jane Foster, is infected by Aether, a powerful substance that will, over time, kill her. Thor then takes her to his home, Asgard. Meanwhile, the main antagonists of "Thor: The Dark World," Dark Elves, recover from suspended animation upon discovery of the Aether, seek to abduct Jane and take over the universe. 

We are shown the possible love triangle between Thor, Jane, and Thor's childhood sweetheart, the beautiful, ass-kicking warrior Silf.

Thor enlists in the help of brother Loki, promising him he could avenge the death of a beloved...whose name we daren't yet spoil!

"Thor: The Dark World" is out in cinemas now!
