Terrible Plan! Movie Reviews

-submitted by Mrs. Winston What I liked: Massive destruction. There's no logical reason you'd have to cause ice storms in hot places and tidal waves in dry places, but it looked pretty awesome. For once, the bad guy's plan was pretty good. I kept trying to poke holes in it, but there was an answer for every question I had. I'm now considering taking over the world myself with massive natural disasters. The good guys, on the other hand, seriously need to rework their plans.

Anyone who has either recently watched Thor 2 and Avengers 2 or who has a ru...
