Review: Thor

I was expecting mild crumminess from Thor. Instead, I got two surprises: a movie that was a) pretty damn entertaining and b) directed by Kenneth Branagh.

I gave it a B, and that might be underrating it a bit. Thor is a highly entertaining movie that’s maybe just a touch too familiar in all its throne-maneuvering and interfamily royal strife. I’d put it a notch below Iron Man–but given how great Iron Man is, that’s still a pretty strong notch.
