Thor

Director: Kenneth Branagh

Stars: Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins, Rene Russo, Ray Stevenson

Release date: May 6, 2011

Synopsis: Superbeing Thor is cast out of the cosmic realm of Asgard and forced to live among humans, where he must find a way to both defend Earth and reclaim his birthright.

Our take: We've had a chance to see some ofThor live and up close (can't say how), and if anything, this movie is gonna look freakin' awesome. Whether Marvel, Branagh and company can sell the Norse god of thunder and his minions to the public depends on the script and the acting ... but praise Odin if they pull it off!
