THOR

The first trailer for Kenneth Branagh's Thor. This is the latest film from Marvel Studios independent productions, following the Iron Man series and The Incredible Hulk.

Chris Hemsworth plays the titular hero, an Asgardian warrior who is banished from his home for apparently being arrogant and whiny. Nice cast here: Anthony Hopkins, Natalie Portman, Colm Feore, Ray Stevenson, Idris Elba, Kat Dennings, Stellan Skarsgård, Clark Gregg.



To be honest, this looks like a more expensive Mortal Kombat. I understand the need for fantastical elements, being that it features other worlds, but the sets all look overly cartoony. Hemsworth is appropriately beefy enough, but perhaps Thor doesn't translate to the screen as well as the other Marvel source material.
