Review

I thought this was a good movie. Director Kenneth Branagh made me proud on this one. "A" for effort. I love how this movie ties in with Iron Man 2, but I won't go into detail. This movie was big - lots of special effects and a decent and fairly complex storyline, and enjoyable characters. I thought it had good character development. In the beginning, when we first meet Thor, he is headstrong, arrogant, rash, and hot-tempered, not at all likable, but throughout the movie, he comes around. He proves himself. He learns his lesson and gains compassion and even falls in love.
