Opinions on the director
What many viewers don’t know is that the three Thor movies were actually directed by three different directors. When watching these three movies together, you can see Thor’s In life experience, Thor has new growth at every stage. This is not because the three directors colluded, but because the three directors all knew that Thor was a very important character and he needed to grow, so they directed them respectively.

The Thor created by Kenneth Branagh, the director of "Thor 1", is obviously more interesting and humorous. At that time, Thor was an arrogant and reckless god, and his actions may trigger a war. , so he arranged for Thor to learn from scratch how to become a "mortal", then a "hero", and finally a "god".The whole film is humorous and briskly paced, and even when it comes to the final battle, it's hard to feel tense.

Only when Loki roars in pain and expresses his feelings, to Loki Generate a little sympathy. Thor in the hands of this director is closer to a mortal and real enough.
Alan Taylor, the director of "Thor: The Dark World", is the director with the least personal style. The "Thor: 2" filmed by him is very regular, as if it is step-by-step, everything follows the script and what has been imagined. direction to execute.

Perhaps because it has become a habit to shoot according to the scripts of TV series, the director lacks personal style. For Thor 2, this is a pity.
The director of "Thor: Ragnarok" is Taika Waititi. It is obvious that he is a director with a strong personal style, which can be felt in the movie Ragnarok. He is good at shooting comedies. director, which allowed him to add a lot of comedy elements that he is good at when filming "Thor 3", and they were all very successful. If the author is asked to evaluate, then "Thor 3" is undoubtedly the most successful Thor movie series so far.
It's just a pity from a personal point of view, because Taika Waititi's strong personal comedy style also made "Thor 3", which was supposed to have a sad plot, not so easy to sad, and even still The whole process is full of passion, which may be the reason why the director cannot balance the two styles, but the current results have been very successful.
