I've never really understood why some media companies are so coy about releasing finished trailers to the public, especially ones that have been specifically designed to end a movie's speculation of crappiness and convince the masses that it's worth seeing. Such is the 'leaked' trailer for Marvel's upcoming Thor movie, which, as directed by Kenneth Branagh and starring Chris Hemsworth (Star Trek) and Natalie Portman in the leads, looks to pinch us one character closer to having the full Avengers ensemble together.
Hemsworth looks good in the part, and Anthony Hopkins sounds amazing as Thor's father Odin. So far, so good, although I'm not sure if some casual movie fans will dig the obvious cheese that makes this look like a fun hybrid between Flash Gordon meets Masters of the Universe (really), or if we need the unnecessary Twilight 'shirtless guy' moments in there. But this isn't a movie for the nerds - thank goodness - but for the masses, and I can only hope it's a lot closer to Iron Man than 2003's Hulk ever was. Guess we'll see when Thor smashes his mighty hammer into theaters May 6th!
