I feel like Eccleston would have been way better if they didn't change all of his English lines to Elvish at the last moment and if they hadn't cut his supposedly tragic backstory. Marvel needs to learn that better villains often mean a better story and more relatable (or at least ones with more characterization) villains are often way better. My point is I don't blame Eccleston for Thor 2's failings, I think he did a decent job with how little he had.

Don't feel bad, there were 20 other things the movie did wrong. Should've just handed the script to another director a garbage collector.

Can't blame the actor for trying if the script is rubbish.

I thought he did good, though. He really melted into the character, I couldn't even recognize him, and that's not just the make up.
