IGN: Marvel's Thor (ably played by Aussie actor Chris Hemsworth) is the arrogant heir to the monarch-god Odin (Anthony Hopkins) and the proverbial big man on campus, which in this case is the floating celestial realm of Asgard. We meet Thor as he's poised to assume the throne from Odin. His brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) must remain waiting in the wings, and considering these are immortals that's a long time to play second banana.

Stolen Review: Elle Márjá Eira makes an attempt at creating a story revolving Sámi people of Sweden.
... when I saw the trailer footage it looked utterly lame, as opposed to the first Iron Man and Captain America, which trailers looked pretty damn cool.
Still not sure if I'll like this movie though. Even in the comics I always thought Thor was a bit of a 'douche'.
3.5/5... thats not so bad
I saw the trailer and didn't think it was bad at all. It was different. We don't have an alien or a human being a super hero...we have a God here...this is totally workable and I think it's going to be a hit! The only thing I couldn't get totally around was Natalie Portman....although I love her and she's a wonderful actress, I just didn't see her in this part.
I'm warming up to the idea of this movie but the one thing holding it back is the lack of an interesting villian. That robotic looking thing he is fighting in the trailer looks ultra generic. And Kat Dennings. That alone is enough to dissuade me from seeing it in theaters.
I'm looking forward to seeing this. I read an informative article about Kenneth Branagh's behind-the-scenes efforts in The Hollywood Reporter. I'm curious to see, for myself, if he delivers the goods on this $150 million project.
