While it could be a Thor film, a Captain America film, or in fact any origin film, this one inherits the speed and flash of the better marvel films, and retains a workable dialogue.
Unlike Black Panther, we never follow a posse; all the characters are allowed their own motives. The pace moves quickly when necessary, and slows down while the little plot exposition needed passes. There are generally few characters in any one shot, which gives the film a little more space.
Unusually, all the performances are good, even the cat. Samuel L is his normal self (minus 30 years) and Brie Larson isn't so much plucky (which is actually what was probably intended) as cool. Using the cue that the Captain America films are supposed to be edgy, this one stuck to action and space - only getting a few emotional issues to keep it going. And yes the soundtrack sparkled.
