Thor's durability in both his films and Avengers was huge. Ironman dragged him up that mountain cliff and he was unharmed. The only thing that really hurt him in the Avengers was his fight with the hulk and even then it wasn't by much. The only reason he took the damage in the latest movie is because Kurse and Malekith were damn near invincible with their upgrades. Kurse was able to deflect Mjolnir which nobody in the marvel movieverse was able to do up to that point. Thor got punched on pretty brutally and he recovered pretty quickly other than being marked up a bit, but I would argue those punches would have wrecked anyone on the marvel or dc team the same way. All the Asgardians seemed to recover pretty quickly after taking damage.
Does Thor have superspeed in the sense that the Kryptonians do? No, but their super speed was all in short bursts. They never really did any speed blitzing like punching 30x a second or something. Thor's flight speed is every bit as impressive as the kryptonians and his ability to stop on a dime would suggest that he has more control over his flight than just being carried by the momentum. Thor, Loki(just as another example) and Malekith all reacted well to speedy oncoming attacks. They're definitely going to have their hands full with the Kryptonians bursts of speed but what they lack there they make up for with the ability to react to it and powerful energy attacks and striking power.
Also, Kurse and Malekith can't really be stopped without special weaponry which the Kryptonians don't have. If Thor's lightning couldn't do it then I don't think heat vision would either.
This is a really good match, I just thought some of the marvel feats were being undersold a bit.
