The first of the big summer movie releases landed at midnight here in Wallingford, so some seniors and I got to be among the first to see Thor. Director Kenneth Branagh--he of the Shakespearean films--did an effective job with a credible story that wasn't overwhelmed by the (visually sumptuous) special effects. Props to Tom Hiddleston for his strong work as Loki, the jealous half-brother of the title character. Lots to like about this flick!
