It came as a shock to discover Kenneth Branagh at the helm of such an expensive comic book adaptation, but watching how the story unfolded—a Shakespearean narrative centered around two brothers’ conflict with their father and a youthful romance—made it clear that this was precisely the sort of project he would undertake. I found Thor quite entertaining; it offered humor, thrills, and felt distinct from typical superhero movies. It certainly helped to get the Marvel Cinematic Universe moving in a better direction again following the disappointing Iron Man 2.
